[quote name='MaxBiaggi2']My sister bought a Passat new, and it's been in the shop at least once a month for the entire two years she's had it. Unfortunately, she just missed out on a technicality for the lemon law to require a replacement. With a repair record like this, I don't know how Volkswagon stays in business.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I don't think we're going to be repeat VW buyers either. It's a shame, because my wife really likes the Passat a lot as a car. The design and aesthetics are right up her alley and the car drives great. It hasn't been as solid or reliable as I think a $30,000 car should be though.
I hope and pray that I have a good experience with my Mazda 6 - so far (about two years in) I absolutely *love* it. Sometimes I just stare at it. And it drives even better than it looks. Such a great car for the money.
