Purchased As New

I have owned American and Japanese cars and this Passat makes my fourth Volkswagen. There is something indefinable about owning a Volkswagen. The styling is beautiful both inside and out. Things seem to be placed just where they should go. This automobile is full of safety features, which puts my mind at ease. Surprisingly I seem to be getting better gas mileage out of this Passat than I did out of my 07 Jetta. I have taken my Passat on several long (8+ hours) trips and enjoyed every minute of it. I am disappointed that for it's price, the car didn't have genuine leather seating, but when all of the other factors are weighed in, this car provides a much more satisfying experience over the Japanese competitors. I now have almost 9,000 miles on this car and have yet to have any problems.
And as a side note, I bought my 07 Jetta new, put almost 40,000 miles on it, and never had a problem.
