  Great So Far - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By Justin - August 23 - 12:36 am

  I replaced my 1999 Honda Civic EX with this Passat. It has a beautiful blue finish. This car hauls compared to my Civic. I know VW has had reliability issues in the past and sludge problems with certain engines. This model is made in Germany and not in Mexico or Brazil so I am more confident that this car is made to last. We will see, so far this vehicle is a dream. I love driving in it!

  Fun to Drive - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By Alexander - August 12 - 6:40 pm

  The first thing that impresed me was the engine - it is small but quite powerful. One just has to push the accelerator pedal down to get most out of it. The acceleration is especially impressive with the gear in the sport mode - even from a zero start. I love the exterior design. Tthe same goes for the interior, with some reservation for the front seat ergonomics - they are comfortable but could be a bit more accomodating. To add a "fly to the ointment" - I already had to get the sensor switch in the passenger seat safety belt buckle replaced. The dealership experience has been very good so far.

  Nothing Beats a Volkswagen - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By Passat Lover - August 11 - 6:30 pm

  Look, all cars can have issues. I supply equipment to automotive manufacturers and if you had any clue to how they operate you would understand cars having some issues now and then. I purchased this car used this past December (2009) and have put over 20,000 miles on it with no issues. I love the car and the reliability. All cars are going to have issues, its just which ones have the least. I am sold on Volkswagens and will continue to purchase them for they are WAY more superior than the American made cars today. I would highly recommend this car to anyone for I get comments everywhere I drive it. People that ride in it love it as well. Keep up the good work Volkswagen!

  Great Car but with Some Problems - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By big guy cool cars - July 17 - 6:00 pm

  I love the car, I enjoy driving it, and I like the way it looks, but it has some problems. I had the entire a/c replaced twice and down here in South Florida it just extremely uncomfortable. Luckily it was all covered. the other problem was that the radio knobs started peeling, but once again it was completely covered. Also, some turbo lag that is noticeable, but I still like the performance. After all that, I still smile when I press that accelerator and turn that extremely responsive steering wheel. This is my second Volkswagen and it definitely wont be my last. It is safe, good looking, has great performance, and most importantly it is very reliable in every situation.

  Nice vehicle, but consumes OIL - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By Serg - July 6 - 6:03 am

  I purchased this car a year ago. First, I was very satisfied. This car looks and performs well for the money I paid. Since the purchase, I’ve been in the service at least 8 times; mostly minor things like lights and radio, but I also had a bigger concern: the oil level goes from max to min in 3K miles. At dealership, they changed some parts including turbo. Still, the problem was not resolved. It took me a year back and forth. Year later, they took a test after 645 miles and determine that 200 grams of oil are gone. They call to VW and after that called me and said that VW says that it is normal. I thought they were joking. They were not.

  07 passat, 2.0t auto - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By Brian Corkery - June 27 - 9:46 pm

  Build quality is simply bad, drivers foot pedals are off set to the right of center, this means your right leg rest against the panel in the right side of the foot well. Tons of squeaks and rattles with 10,900 miles on it now. Seat warmers have no easy to see LEDs to see at a glance if they are on. Seats are extremely comfortable though. I was skeptical initially but the performance and economy are great with the automatic. Headlights are wimpy I had a 95 VR6 that had 206,000 miles on it. Theres no way on earth this 07 will last that long

  All great, except, reliability is terible - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By Karl - June 2 - 2:30 am

  I have own the car from new 2006, still owning today in 2016. Reason? I need the space of a station wagon and the driving pleasure of a sedan. Today you cannot find something like this in the artificially driving feel of SUVs world. Maintanance was about $1,500 per year for the first 3-4 years. Then it jumped to $2,500 for years 4 to 7. Then get ready. Are you ready? Ok. Here it is: over $5,000 for years 8 and 9. This year the 10th one, it is July and I have spent already $2,400. I have to mention that I like the car a lot, I have a company and I can deduct a part of maintenance/repairs costs. All service I did at authorized vw dealer, kept all invoices, records. So now I am wondering why some cars are reliable and others not? At the end it is a matter of respect for the customer who paid a lot of money to buy a brand new car. Sorry, but in the future, I will go with lexus, infinity, acura or even honda. To change the car every 4-6 years is too costly. Keeping a car 10-12 years is realiable. Think about the waste we are doing on this planet with all kind of goods we are buying because is fancy. People should be happy with little. Keeping the car 10-12 years will not save the world but it will send a strong message to who needs to listen. Wishing all love and happiness to everyone.

  My Passat SW - 2007 Volkswagen Passat
  By MarcoWV - March 28 - 9:36 pm

  I have a 4 cyl 6 speed tiptronic Turbo Passat SW and love it! It gets great gas mileage around 35 miles to a gallon, and when it shifts its so smooth you cant feel it. American carmakers are now discovering the tiptronic but putting them with 6 cyl cars. Unless youre towing something you dont need an engine that big.
