2001 Volkswagen Passat GLX V6 from North America
Summary:
Disappointing!
Faults:
Endless small problems with the latest being a major electrical grounding issue. The dash needs to come off and no one can guarantee a fix.
Car will start after it sits for 24 hours and resets.
Cars drives great, but it is lemon.
General Comments:
Don't buy one! I was considering an A6 and decided thanks, but no thanks. I've had enough of this - a car with 75K of miles needs to be junked.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I just bought the V6 Passat with automatic. The car seems to be in mint condition with the exception of the ABS light coming on intermittently. The dealer says he'll fix it. We bought it for its looks, V6 engine and the luxury in a small sedan. I expected aluminum wheels, but got steel wheels with plastic covers. (!) I baby my cars so it should last long.
