"A great car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Two rattles from interior panels. Both were covered by warranty and fixed promptly by the dealership.

General comments?

The Passat has been a dream to own so far. Compared to other cars in its class I believe it emerges as the front runner. It is very refined, quiet, and luxurious.

The power from the 2.0 liter turbo four is great! However, I will be getting an APR Stage I Direct Port Program soon in order to get even more power.

The car handles corners well, but there is a little body roll. However, it feels extremely tight and the handling inspires confidence.

The six-speed automatic is a great transmission and helps this car achieve great fuel economy.

This is a great car and I am very happy with it so far. I'd recomend to the Passat to anyone looking for a well built mid-size car.

I would imagine almost culture shock going from a Dodge Spirit to a Passat.

I'm sure the Spirit was a fine little car, but the power & sophisticated refinement of the Passat must've blown you away.
