2006 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by jwa1
A member in New York, United States
Powertrain performance
Acceleration, passing performance at any speed. Great auto tranny, Aisin is much better shifting than ZF in my old 2003. Six gears and Sport feature are a bonus!
Fuel economy
25+ mpg in town, 34+ mpg on road
Safety & braking
very nice braking, hauls car down at any speed.
Cargo capacity
Great trunk capacity
Handling
Great power steering.
Ride smoothness
Much inferior to my old 2003 Passat. Feel all the road irregularities.
Quietness
Lots of road noise
Exterior styling
Front end. Car is not as classic and clean as my old 2003 Passat.
Materials & workmanship
Not as nice as 2003 Passat. BIG concern is lack of decent fresh air from dash outlets and mediocre a/c system - takes forever to cool and never gets really cold even in NY state! again, 2003 was MUCH better in boyh areas.`Headliner is cheaper material.
