 The car has been to the shop 23 times in the last 4 years.  There was a short in the electrical system in the first month that Toyota didn't find that caused many other problems.  Worst Dealer ever, worst car ever.  The car understeers heavily, too little grip for fun handling, I average 23 mpg.  I bought this because I thought the Passat was unreliable.  I will be trading this piece of crap in for a Saab this week. VW and Toyota need to be taught what customer service is.
