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...

I've got about 39,000km on it so for, and have had the waterpump replaced under warranty, battery replaced (i think thats because the car was sitting idle for a long periods of time, and i had a really short trip to work, so didnt let it warm up properly). Had a rear window regulator repalced but i think thats because of the tint shop. Nothing major so far, although it has very low km.

Replaced the diverter valve myself due to the fact that i'm running higher psi from the turbo. If you want more info on B5 passats, check out www.clubb5.com , the forums are a great resource.

I'm going to the car show and look at the new audi A4 B7 platform, really like the new grille.

Wow, after hearing all these problems I may rethink about buying VW if my car ever dies. Ive never had a problem with mine what so over, besides minor mainteannce here and there. Biggest thing so far in 12 years was replacing the power steering rack because a seal went.

Other than that it has never let me down. Maybe the new ones arent made as good as the old ones

I paid cash for both when I bought them. Although I did buy them 10 years apart

family cars are leased (buick and ford) or inheritance (dodge shadow, well she never wrote a will and the government doesn't know she's dead but they stopped sending her pension cheques the month after death and asked for a death certificate [$40 for proof of death, no thank you] which we never sent and they never cared)

[Talamasca]

2002 Civic LX sedan. Replacing it this fall with either a Cobalt coupe, Mazda 3 sedan, or 2006 Civic coupe (haven't decided yet).

I'd ride the bus.

he picks you up, and drops you off, he opens the door for you.

ring the bell anytime and he will pull over to let you off.

seats 24+ passengers.

air conditioned, heated.

That cracked me up.
