  Solid Car, Fun to Drive - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By JonnyC - April 24 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for 3 years and have no problems with it to date. The manual transmission is smooth and fun to drive and it is an extremely comfortable ride for all my passengers. Skip the $$ recommended 40,000 mile tune-up at the dealer and take it to a local mechanic instead. I saved $300 by taking it to a good mechanic who only did the necessary fixes(sparkplugs). Great Car.

  Happy Owner - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By logdoc - April 22 - 12:46 am

  With 97,000 miles on this car I still get 35 mpg on the highway. The sound system is great. The only aspect that is weak is the AC which takes a while to get into high gear. This is a 4banger turbo and it will still hit 100 mph when passing. I used to drive a 79 Mercedes 450SEL, but this Passat has so much more going for it.

  Late Blooming LEMON - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By joan Vanderhor - April 6 - 2:00 am

  For 3 years, the Passat performed admirably, best car Id had. Loved it 6 months ago, mechanical problems developed, valve and gaskets, replaced heater core,2 temperature sensors, clutch, rear brakes, coolant system, engine mount, tie rods, 4 tires,(3rd set of tires)hoses, and much more. My car has been in the garage for a month now, and it cannot be fixed by them or the 2 super expert techs who go to dealerships to deal with difficult problems. What to do?

  Fun to Drive Passat - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By dave20murphy - April 6 - 2:00 am

  I had never owned a Volkswagen until the purchase of my 2000 Passat. This car has truly impressed me from the stunning interior to the sleek outer curves of the car. In comparison to my former car, (2001 Pontiac Grand Prix), it is a hands down favorite although i do miss the raw horsepower, when cruising at 80 mph i dont know the difference with the exception that i am getting a smoother and better handeling ride. I would advise everyone reading this to go out and test drive one today.

  A lot of fun for your money - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By Passat convert - March 12 - 10:00 am

  My wie and I have had this car for 3 years with no problems and a lot of fun. It is a great long distance traveller, very comfortable, plus its very quick when you need it (merging in NJ ridiculous traffic, fighting your way through NYC). Car does not handle cold morning (anything below 0 degrees F) startups well -- you have to coax it a bit in the deep winter. It handles like a dream -- I can tell you, as a former Ferrari owner, well, no, its not a Ferrari, but the 6 cyl GLS version is very agile for a sedan.

  VW PASSAT - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By boomer6400 - January 17 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my Passat with slightly less than 60000 miles. I have had it for a half a year with only one problem. The ignition coils needed to be replaced. It is a V6 and I thought only the 1.8T had problems with this. The only other problem I have had is keeping my girlfriend from borrowing it. This is a great car for someone who wants to step up from a boring Camry or Accord.

  Solid Performer - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By socalduck - January 17 - 5:13 am

  We purchased new in 2000. Interior quality and excellent handling were the two major selling points. Despite some concerns regarding VW quality, this car has been reliable and virtually problem-free. The one major mechanical issue was an oil seal failure back in 2005, which was covered by VW even though the car was out of warranty; it pays to keep all of your service records! Biggest beef has been the need to use premium fuel, but otherwise this has proven to be a great family car that offers European handling and performance at a reasonable price.

  Lots of Car for the Money - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By BobsyrUncle - January 11 - 2:00 am

  The first month i had this car I kept wondering why traffic was going so slow. When they pulled over and i went past, Id look down and see I was going 100mph. This car is faster and handles as well as my BMW325. Spacious,comfortable,reliable and fast. A tremendous deal for 21K. Has 72K on it now and is still perfect.

  Unreliable Car - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By Mad - January 9 - 7:43 pm

  My Passat has already been through two water pumps and now requires its second catalytic converter. I have also endured many other service problems beyond the normal maintenance that you expect.

  The perfect car for me - 2000 Volkswagen Passat
  By stronzzo - December 31 - 10:00 am

  This car is perfect for me, I love everything about it. Superior ergonomics, handling, performance, practicality and ecomomy all contribute to my love for this car. I am sure that it is not for everybody, but I recommend that you give it a try.
