Faults:

Sunroof malfunction in the heat 2 times (fixed from dealer).

Interior started to unglue above right front door (fixed from dealer).

Central hand rest squeaks annoying (fixed).

Small noise from AC (fixed).

Peeling of the paint of right handle (replaced handle).

Back ashtray and lighter of this car always gets loose and pop out. I have seen several Passats with the same problem.

Leather on the seats wears too fast. Otherwise they are pretty comfortable.

CD changer sometimes malfunctions in the heat. It is during the day 45C.

Aero wipers are very bad. They are made only from rubber, so from the heat they became useless and the rubber broke. Also they are much more expensive than normal wipers.

Dealer is very very expensive.

On 91 000 km changed timing belt, oil, front brake pads... charged more than $1100. Have in mind the car is still under warranty. After warranty support, it will be a rip off

General Comments:

The car is good, interior is nice. I like it very much. It had several small problems, but nothing major. Dealer prices are letting VW down in UAE. If this can be fixed, I recommend this car to everybody who needs comfort and a strong engine. Car is 193hp, but despite this, I do not feel the pick up to be very fast. It is not a sports car anyway.
