So far the car is running great. I had a 1993 Passat, and my new GLX VR6 is a rocket compared to it. A very solid car, enough power and great handling to compete with the top auto makers.
My top speed was 245KM/H - only for 2 seconds with automatic transmission. The car doesn't look like a Camaro, but it sure can keep up with it.
VW has to think of a better way to hide the electrical connetctors, they are fragile to cold weather and dirt.
The foglights break easily from highway debris
VW should add a spoiler on the rear trunk just like the Jetta.
Well, As for my Passat experience I love this car I have a 96 glx wagon and the motor just died on me after 320K miles she (because she is family) has never left me stranded VW has been very supportive of this car (as far as I'm concern) and the car is fun to drive. Mind you I've had my share of issues as with any car it's mechanical so needless to say Sh%t happens, but my baby has been great. Far as my motor the timing chain broke so I will replace the motor for what a timing chain install cost 1300 vs 1600 engine and installation, I have atfermarket cams, exhaust, chip and some other extras. It has been reliable to the end... Thanks VW.
