I really enjoyed driving this car while we owned it. Initially it was my dad's car, but I learned how to drive on this car and have been driving it off and on for the past 6 years. It's very comfortable, gets pretty respectable gas mileage, and can be fun to drive. It's not quite as nice as a BMW or Mercedes or other luxury brand, but it has everything you would need to be just as comfortable as those cars, at a much lower price point. I don't know what else might be considered a mid-luxury car, but I doubt it's as good as the Passat. It needs repairs every now and then, but never anything that serious and still worth the costs.

The car has a very stylish exterior to it while also having a comfortable and sturdy interior. I have had the car for about eight years and the interior of the car is still exceptional even through regular wear and tear of everyday life. I have never had an issue with any of the main electronic elements of the car such as the stereo or the heated seats.
