Used 2004 Volkswagen Passat for Sale near Cumberland, MD

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.

Great versatility, acceptable fuel mileage while providing space and AWD. Turbo four plus five speed manual is peppy enough to be enjoyable, but this wagon won't win any stoplight races. Vault-like, every-surface-is-pleasing interior build quality impresses. So far (30,000 miles driven) quite reliable. Only a few complaints: always locked setting on tailgate is quite frustrating, parts prices are high but come with the euro territory.

Great solid driver. I needed a little bit more room than my A4 allowed and saw the wagon. 1.8T vs the v6. I wish I had a bit more power, but works well for commuting and the occasional cruise! Mid 20's mileage for mixed driving - only passed 30mpg on a trip to Colorado. The feel of the drive is solid all around and I never get bored of the great sound system.

Big and with the seats down you can put anything back there, I put my mountain bike in it with the hatch close. The coil pack like all Audi/VW 1.8 turbo goes out. The gas mileage is not as good as it should be I get 26MPG highway at 75-80MPH.
