2002 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by stephenspring

Controls and instruments

German sensibility.

Ride smoothness

Very solid feel on the road. Sits like a tank.

Materials & workmanship

Nicely stitched leather. Touch and feel of plastics, rubber and chrome accents is also pleasant.

Front seat support & comfort

Fits my body very well. Heated seats are a plus in Toronto

Cargo capacity

Cargo space the reason I moved to a wagon. With the roofrack I can haul a lot.

Reliability & durability

Parts seem to need constant replacement.

Fuel economy

V6 is very thirsty in the city.

Past personal experience

Asking for help from the dealership.
