 I purchased this passat new  it was our second the first one a 2000 went 80k before we got rid of it,  we had absolutely no real mentionable problems with that, that got us around 40 miles to the gallon. 2.0 motor this one has the turbo 2.0  it gets us between 12 and 26 on the freeway, it's junk. The warranty has been extensively used I had the complete ac replaced  all the door switches replaced the shifter replaced the rear safety interlock replaced have had at least ten engine codes two pcv valves replaced reflashed the ecm twice updates they said, one battery,  one alternator.  The stereo replaced rear safety latches on center console replaced rear deck lid lock replaced one and more.
