1995 Volkswagen Passat GLX review from Germany
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been nothing, but problems since I bought it. The first day I had to return the car for repairs due to a stalling problem, that should have been the fist clue.
The cup holder broke off.
The lining is falling down.
There is no glove compartment, this is especially inconvenient since there is no space for registration, insurance, maybe a vehicle manual.
The door are very hard to open from the outside. at 101000 miles I had to replace the driver side door handle and lock, just that was 230.00 bucks.
The sunroof/moon roof button came off so now the sunroof is inoperable.
And last, but not least now the transmission is slipping.
General comments?
I honestly read all of these past reviews before I bought my car thinking that there weren't many major problems I went ahead and bought it anyway. I would definetely not suggest this particular vehicle to anyone. Everything is so expensive to fix, regular parts are outrageous. Overall this is the most undependable car I've ever had, and I've had a few.
