We've had our VW Passat for a couple of years, and that car was a nightmare! Since the moment we bought it (used), we've had a lot of problems. It felt like we had to fix something every single month, and parts were so expensive. Apparently, Volkswagens are good until they hit that 100k miles mark. Unfortunately for us, we bought it at 104k miles, and before we bought it, we went to the mechanic to see if there was anything wrong with the car, and at that moment, nothing was wrong. Just a month later, the car started leaking and making weird sounds. The amount of money we spent on fixing that car... we could've bought a brand new Hyundai or Kia.
