Mechanical/Electrical- Similar to Honda’s popularity for its long-lasting engines, VW engines are made to go 250-300K miles and this is no exception. The very powerful yet economical engine takes off like a rocket from a dead start with a very smooth transition through its perfect 5 speed transmission. It was smogged as required within the past few weeks with Co2, etc. being so low as to be non-existent. Smog results with vehicle. Brakes are perfect and will stop you in a straight line with your hands off the wheel. Freeway driving is a pleasure as the Passat does not drift at all with your hands off the wheel, it hugs the road and stays straight, and has an incredible passing gear. It downshifts automatically at slower speeds without using your brakes.
General- It’s nice enough to be used for business or personal use. It looks really nice at night with the lights on and the interior lights on the doors and instrument cluster are absolutely beautiful. I would not sell my car knowing of a major defect without getting it fixed first.
Reason for selling- The only reason I am selling the Passat is because I have too many cars. It’s a great car and you can trust my word that there are no major defects unrevealed to you. I am not a dealer and this is our personal car.
