"A class above most others"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Passenger seat belt is holding occupants tight in their seat and refusing to release.

Separate radiator fan for air conditioning is noisy.

General comments?

I love this car.

After having a succession of lower quality company cars circumstances forced me to buy my own.

I brought my Passat without hesitation and although I have only had it for a short time it has proven to be the best built, quietest, best made and generally nicest car I have ever owned.

One of my favorite features is the blue dashboard lights which I cannot understand why other manufacturers haven't picked up on yet.

I do not know much about the service costs as the car was fully serviced when I brought it, but I don't think it will be particularly cheap, so I will be looking for a Volkswagon specialist.

VW hold the rights to the blue lights design for a number of years so until their designated time is passed nobody will be rip off the design.

I have just completed 92,000 miles in it.

I still stand by the fact that it's a great car in every way.

A couple of things have gone wrong in the past year, but nothing serious and most of it was self inflicted.

I have found out that its not a good idea to hit fully grown deer at 80mph, they tend to cause a lot of damage!!!
