Didn't ever expect to find a sedan that was both fun to drive and extremely comfortable.  The turbo engine, for it's size, is really quite amazing.  The gas mileage is pretty par for the course for a 4 cylinder engine.  There have been occasional problems with the overall quality of the automobile, but for the most part it has been pretty trouble free.

Pros — Fun, Comfortable, Roomy, Luxurious
Cons — Electrical problems here and there, but nothing ever serious.

I bought it used... so of course there were a few things that needed to be fixed. Overall though its great, handles, brakes, and accelerates like a dream. For most people the appearance would be beyond satisfactory, but as a teenager I look at it and always think about the things I wanna do to it. The interior is awesome, leather seats (very comfortable), wood accents, good quality stock sound system.
Recommend to anyone that has a passion for nice cars.

Pros — Brakes and acceleration are both above par. Amazing interior.
Cons — Although the majority of cars are... expensive to repair.

Very reliable, comfortable to drive especially on long journeys.
Climate control, 6disc cd player, heated seats & a big boot (LOL).
Just a sexy car all round.

Pros — Everything
Cons — The picture...it's an old one, it's got better wheels on it now!

Reviewing: 2002 Used Volkswagen Passat GLX Wagon

Our first VW that Mollie and I have ever owned. This thing is fast and looks good to boot! Basically, it has the same engine that went into the Audi Avant and has a tiptronic tranny. We bought it used with 32k on the clock and since then have put over 20k of our own miles in almost two years! It's Mollie's daily and then some. We are almost always in the pslut as it gets better gas mileage than my truck and is more comfortable.

Pros — German engineered and built! 2.7L V6, Tiptronic, Fully loaded (every option avail. in '02) GLX trim.
Cons — Musty odor that comes and goes (can't get out) ever since moving to the south.

Reviewing: 2002 Used Volkswagen Passat GLS

The 2002 Passat was the first new car I ever purchased, so my memories of it may be a little rosier than the reality. But I recall the car as being a decent performer with good gas mileage. It had a nice ride, the seats were comfortable and it had that cool-as-hell VW dash lighting. Oh, and the stereo was fantastic.

Pros — Good value, good performance, nice ride, clean look, great stereo
Cons — Fairly milquetoast

Silverstone grey, bought new right when the B5.5 body style dropped, 5spd euro sedan.  Loved every minute of it.  Torquey and fun 1.8T with the stick.

Pros — Fun fun fun.  My first new car...
Cons — Sold it, shouldn't have.

This car has always been enjoyable. Got it with leather and the but warmers work great. Once you get this thing past 90 its like driving a sports car it just doesnt want to stop. The turbo works magnificently.

Pros — Good pickup if you hit it right, Comfy ride, and a pleasure to drive
Cons — Bad gas mileage, Straight line performance kinda sucks, Turbo lag.
