Thinking Of buying a 2000 Volkswagen Passat?

Question

I've beening thinking of buying a passat but the only ones in my price range are the 4 cylinder turbos. And all the reviews that I've read said that they are ok on reliability. Some say they love them others say they are pieces of junk. Are they a good car or a disaster?

Answer 1

GREAT CAR!  Even Consumer Reports which is very American biased gave it great reviews.  Go for it, make sure it has records, and checked out by a VW mechanic, prior to purchase.
