1996 Vr6 Volwkswagon Passat — Vinnie veedub is my boy, he keeps me arm cool when its hot and warm when its not! He has awesome acceleration, breaking and handling. He is in excellent condition, no squeaks or rattles and appart from the od maintinence repair ahs never let me down. He has 18 inch chrome wheels, window tint stiffened suspension and modifies exhaust system. He uses around 9 to 10 litres per 100 kms and is very fun to drive. |

Prosthe mileage man! Consavoid if your wanting a racer

I Think Its Great, Proforms Fine And Has Amazing Gas Mileage And You Need That Now Adays — I drive a 1996 Volksagen Passat TDi. It is a turbo Desiel injection, or TDi, and gets 45 highway and 37 city. This car has a decent resale value but why sell it. You make more money just off the gas mileage alone. Although it is great on gas it isnt the fastest so dont buy it and expect to win races. 0-60 in about 10 seconds isnt racer stats. So if your looking for a fun nice car that wont ruin your wallet size then get this car, but to have more fun i would get the stick, thats what i drive and i love it! Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsWhy we aren't producing cars like this any longer is beyond me. Great ride, huge trunk, huge backseat, fuel mileage is off the chain. ConsIt's pretty old, the door handles and window regulators tend to go out on this model, yet very inexpensive to fix.

One Awesome Ride.... — I love this car, it was a great find for me. It is comfortable, drives as smooth as any newer car I have been in, has tons of room, front and back, and has a huge trunk. My Passat is the nicest car I have ever owned, 48.1 mpg helps alot too!!! Primary Use: Family transportation |

The Commuter — Not much to say. Bought cheap as a commuter Main benefit is enormous space inside, especially for tall guys like me. Somewhat noisy on the highway, especially if the road surface was rough. But easy to get parts for and easy to fix. Great commuter. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Meh — Had this for about 18months. It was reliable and strong, my wife crashed it a couple of times, the second time writing off another car but was still able to drive home. The engine was smooth and strong but used a lot of fuel. The boot wasn't good, it had space but wasn't very usable. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsGeo Metro mileage in a fully loaded, comfortable, spacious car. ConsQuirky styling.

I'm Not Even A Vw Fan, But This Car Is Something Special! — Performance - acceleration=Good steady pull, Climbs hills, geared for the autobahn braking=Quick and predictable handling=Tight (not 'sharp'), flat (almost no roll), and inspires confidence Build Quality - It came with a thick stack of receipts for repairs (hope everything is sorted) It feels really solid, and doesn't rattle at all, with over 150,000 Mi. Appearance - Quirky/boxy and oh so German. Cost of Ownership - So far so good. The fuel economy is AMAZING, even while driving sporty. Fun Factor - Super conferrable, and fun knowing you aren't spending a ton of cash driving. Primary Use: Family transportation |

It Does The Job, And Starts Every Morning. — The performance is crap, BUT it has improved a lot tnx to the EVRY-MOD, 0-100km/h in 11,3 sec, does 14 stock... the handling and breakes is crap to, but the ride is somewhat smooth. the build quality is quite good I think. It´s BUTT-ugly!! The good side is the fuel-consumption, betwen 0,54-0,65 L/mil depending on my heavy foot... Since the EVRY-MOD it can be quite fun, since it´s expected to be sloooow, so it´s quite fun to leav them behind in a cloud of black smoke ;) Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |
