Reviewing: 2003 Used Volkswagen Passat GLX

I had a 2003 VW Passast GLX 4-Matic.  Best car I ever owned, but at 19 years old, i haven't had too many cars.  Very good on gas, V-6 engine and all wheel drive.  Very fun to drive and top speed of 137 mph. Not a big fan of European cars, but my VW changed my mind.

Pros — Everything
Cons — AWD- E-brake slides were so hard

A nice solid sedan.  I had been driving 4wds for years so returning to the ground was hard as a short person!  Unfortunately, it lacked the cargo space I needed for toting artwork to and from shows... so it had to go.  I love VWs and would purchase another at some point in the future.

Pros — Smooth, solid, stylish
Cons — acceleration was a bit slow.  car often felt heavy

It's just a good car.  It looks good, but isn't too much of a head turner so I don't feel conspicuous.  Had a sludge problem (so many of these do) but we change the oil regularly so it seems to be better now....

Pros — ooooo
Cons — oooooo

Great fuel economy, 2.0 20v turbo four cylinder. Plenty of get up and go. (especially these days!) Tiptronic shift for when you want to play around. German engineering, quiet, solid. Whatelse?

Pros — Headlamps are outstanding. Doesn't need fog/driving supplement. Adjustable seat is a plus.
Cons — Brakes wear sooner than some, (performance geared) No moonroof on GL model (i think anyway)

Reviewing: 2003 Used Volkswagen Passat GLS V6

Fully functional and amazingly fast lemon. A great car until the warranty goes
and then all that fine Euro engineering is worthless.

Pros — Great ride, fast, powerful
Cons — Costs lots to fix, and needs to be fixed a lot
