I've got a 1999 VW Passat GLS 4 door, just to add myself to the VW owners

[ainsane]

My parents drive a 2004 Accord Sedan and a 1997 Corolla.



I adopted a 1995 Mazda 626 from my parents when they got the Accord:


(I have so many pics up cause I tried selling here for $1500 and no one bought it. Thank god, cause now i have an awesome car!)

I've got an audi now, hopefully it lasts a couple years yet. Then I will pick up VW TDI wagon (I wish they made 4 wheel drive TDI), or a subaru

Hmmm you're right. I was gonna say a A4 TDI wagon but i don't think that exists either.

Dun worry... VW said they're gonna be bringing more engines to North America over the next few years.

All Mazda household here

Me 01 Protege LX Manual
Wife 94 626LX Manual

Former Cars:
89 Accord SEI --- Made it to 370000kms..engine and tranny were still good..body was a disaster

91 Protege -- made it to 270000kms


Looking to replace the 626. Mazda parts prices are insanely high..For ex..for replacement brake and fuel lines (total of 5), Mazda's latest price increase brought the parts costs to almost $1000. What a joke. They should be $50 each. My mechanic made a brake line instead.

'99 VW Passat 1.8T (chipped)

to both Passat owners - how are the pasats for reliability?

We're thinking of a new car, and my wife wants a passat wagon - she has a Jetta now - and I'm not too impressed with VW to tell you the truth.

I told her I'd consider the Passat if it has a good track record - We'd probably be looking at something in the 01-03 range...

At 96,000km I changed timing belt and accessories, then about 2-3000 km later I changed the water pump. At 125,000km I had to change some small tubes for $120 and nothing else except wear and tear items: twice brake pads and rotors all around (even though we are not sporty drivers, just crappy materials) and twice tires, latest at 125,000. Oh yeah, I replaced the battery also, at like 120,000. A lot of things done lately, but I hope that's about it for a while.
Other than this, it is a joy to drive, still. I plan on keeping it for another 4 years. Resale value is a b*tch. Only $6000 after 6 years, when I payed $33.500 for it
I read that the 2001 models and after had a lot of complaints, which is why I would avoid those.
