The car is not half bad; the commercials have been catching my eye. It has headlights that turn with the steering of the car, a cooled glove box and 280hp. If Volkswagens weren’t plagued with some many quality problems I would actually consider buying it. What are your opinions?

The six-speed Tiptronic gearbox seems particularly effective for delivering the V6's 280 hp. No stumbles, no wavering, just a steady pulse of power followed by a silken snick to the next gear. Feedback from the powertrain, steering and brakes is standard VW; that is, it's nigh perfect.

vw's always have great specs. But i found out pretty quick with my 00 vr6 jetta, you would be putting money into VERY often.

The styling is pretty clean, and the headlights/glove box are very cool on this car though, I must admit.

 

I just got my jetta and I love it, no probs as of yet. Hopefully no jinx. As for the new passat that thing is sweet.

 

Ive been seeing these cars for quite some time and although Im not impressed with the looks the interior is awsome.

 

I can see by the replies that people could care less about this car!

 

i like them. i had a 2001 passat and it was awesome. i only got rid of it cuz i was paying too much for it.

i think the new one is nice.

 

I dig it.

 

I like it. And I'm not so sure about the volkswagen 'plagues'. We've had 3 different ones, an '83 diesel rabbit, that ran great till we sold it last year, the girl who bought it somehow managed to set it on fire , have an '85 Quantum Syncro, has been runnin strong, only one issue w/ cooling, and it just needed a new radiator (160K miles will do that ), and my sis has a 98 Jetta Wolfsburg edition, no issues with it as of yet.
