"You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The driver's window regulator has failed twice.

A replacement Passat diesel has not been made available in North America since 1997.

General comments?

Quite cheap to run, I habitually get 45+ mpg (US).

I wish I had not gotten the sunroof as I could use the extra inch or two of headroom.

I love this machine - it bridges the gap between high tech VW's and nice simple VW's.

I guess you're in luck, there is now a passat diesel on the North American market again!
