Overview & Reviews
For 2003, a base GL sedan and wagon are available. Think of the GL as a GLS 1.8T for buyers who don't require any extras like alloy wheels, leather upholstery, seat heaters or a sunroof. Meanwhile, alloy wheels and sunroof are now standard on GLS models. The 4Motion all-wheel-drive system will not be offered on GLS V6 models, forcing interested buyers to cross the 30-grand line; however, VW has made stability control (ESP) optional on all Passats (except the W8, which has this standard). Also this year, you'll be able to get W8 sedans and wagons with a six-speed manual transmission and a sport package that includes a firmer suspension and the requisite 17-inch wheels. Lastly, the standard stereo head unit gets backlighting for the buttons.
- Fun to drive, excellent value in GL or GLS trim, roomy interior with upscale feel, outstanding build and materials quality, available all-wheel drive.

Love It!!!!!! - 2003 Volkswagen Passat
By Tommyboy - January 13 - 10:00 amI absolutely love this car! Ive had it for three weeks now and I cant find enough excuses to go for a drive. The handling and styling of this vehicle makes you feel like you are driving a car worth 20 grand more!! I believe this is the best value you will find in a family style sedan.

My Passat - 2003 Volkswagen Passat
By smity67 - January 13 - 10:00 amEverything is great with my passat, but I wish it had more horse power. I realize they make the 8 cylinder now but Ive got the 1.8T and it doesnt have enough.

What a fun car! - 2003 Volkswagen Passat
By Big K - January 13 - 10:00 amI have only had my car a few weeks, but what a fun car it is! As Im still breaking it in, my mileage is improving with every tank (28mpg on the last one). The tiptronic feature is awesome. If you hit a stretch of road that you want to switch to standard shifting, you pop it over and drive! The engineers who designed this vehicle thought of just about everything!

Cool Sport Wagon - 2003 Volkswagen Passat
By KevLion88 - January 13 - 10:00 amMy partner and I just got a 99 GLS 1.8T wagon in Feb. of this year. Before then Id always wanted a Passat but had never driven one. Had owned VWs in the past, however. This is not a car to be overlooked. The overall build quality is that of a car costing thousands more. And that legendary VW handling and performance cant be matched in this price class. This is the "GAP" version to Audis A4 1.8T Avant "Banana Republic" car!

Passat GLX 4Motion - 2003 Volkswagen Passat
By DocRock - January 6 - 8:36 amThis is an excellent car. It is fun to drive. The 4Motion makes the car a little thirstier for gas, but overall it has been a good car thus far.
