2004 Volkswagen Passat GLS Review
ProsEverything.. ConsPlastic water pump!

Love It And Always Will — 4Motion awd is great, have passed all the 4x4's in the snow. Super comfortable to drive, The turbo engine is spectacular, peppy and great on gas! Had to replace the water pump at 90,000Kms, they shouldn't use plastic parts, but otherwise have given me no problems! Would buy again! Primary Use: Commuting to work

Great Autobahn Cruiser And Occasional Backroad Carver If You Know A Mechanic Or Do The Work Yourself — Superb gas mileage, manual transmission is a joy to swap cogs with, precise (if somewhat numb and slightly heavy) steering, exceptionally dampened ride without feeling at all float, though it does roll a bit in more aggressive maneuvers. Acceleration from 2500rpm onwards is very good; with close to 200hp, though, the limitations of FWD become quite apparent under hard acceleration . Quiet around town, with some road and wind noise at speed. Maintenance is quite expensive. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Best Vehicle I've Ever Owned! — I absolutely love my VW - we have 3 in our household. It is the 2nd brand new car I've purchased - ever, I've had it 3 1/2 years and every time I get in it - it's like the first time. I bought a brand new Saturn Ion just before the VW - drove it for 6 months and after driving a VW Golf, I was thoroughly convinced I had to dump the Saturn and get myself a VW. I originally leased this car, and ended up buying out the lease early because I loved the car so much. I am not sold on the styling change after 04, they look more like Japanese cars to me now....but nothing beats the engineering of a VW. | ||

Great Car Especially W/awd For The Snow And Ice. — Great Styling, timeless given its age. Runs great with good fuel economy. Great braking and handles well with new tires. Also great visibility and cargo space with all the windows. perhaos tinting the rear windows would be a good improvement for the next owner. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Great Car For Everyday Use — Great car for everyday use. In my humble opinion this is the model where VW got most everything right. High quality appearance both inside and out, excellent quality, very spacious. Performance ok, very reliable. Not necessarily a fun car to drive, but that's not the intent. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Performance And Realiabilty Is Great But Rest Assured This Car Puts The Fun Back In Driving. — VW Passat GLX 4 motion has been the best car for me. I love its performance and fun attitude. It has class and luxurious features. A true German built car with readability, safety, and performance that are hard to beat. Cost of ownership is very reasonable with 20-27 MPG for a V6 engine. No major service required other than Oil change and routine maintenance. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Graet Car For The Price — I love VW Passat 4 motion. It is great car that gives all the luxuries of more expensive cars live Volvo and Benz but with much more reasonable price tag. German engineered cars are legendary for their performance and reliability. You can not go wrong with VW passat. depending on your driving you can get 22/27 MPG. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
