• Tight structure, fun-to-drive, comfortable seats, nice sound system, artful design, an Audi at Volkswagen prices.

• Excessive squat and dive when accelerating and braking.

  Fun to drive, but expensive - 1999 Volkswagen Passat
  By Birdman - January 26 - 2:00 am

  My 99 Passat is fun to drive and very responsive. However, there have been far too many repairs. Some repairs have been under warrenty, but too many expensive ones have not. I have needed two tie rods, a water pump, a throttle and two sets of brakes. The trim above the driver side fell down. VW promised to fix it at no cost, but later changed its mind.
