1999 Volkswagen Passat - First car
My first car was a used Passat. My parents were comfortable with my driving it because of how safe it was rated. I liked it because it meant freedom!
Story
I drove between Philadelphia and Ohio many times during college. It is about an 8-hour drive. I loved the drive. It was time for me to listen to music and feel the wind and I felt so grown up and independent. I associate my young adulthood with that car.
Pros
The clutch was forgiving of a new driver. Other cars made me stall out a lot, but the Passat never did. I loved the driver seat, it was comfortable and supportive. The back seat was large enough to seat three teenagers comfortably.
Cons
I loved this car. When I got it, there were already about 80,000 miles on it. I drove it another 140k miles before the transmission died. At that time I didn't have the money to repair it. That's the only con-- that I couldn't afford to fix it and had to sell it.
2008 Volkswagen Passat - Fell in love with VW Passat
To say I am satisfied is an understatement, I didn't think for one minute that it could surpass my standard for comfort and all round driver satisfaction, but quite amazingly it has on nearly all counts. The deciding factor initially which drove me to go for this model was the reduced price from a local VW dealer. My best friend's dad used to have a Passat also and I was already quite familiar with the model but when I heard of the local dealer's special I decided to go for it. It is a wonderful midsize car, has good economic fuel consumption and has a very good acceleration and a powerful engine. It is all I could ever wish for in a car.
Story
I remember one time we had a speeding challenge out in the surbirbs with my friend. He was driving an audi 45 and I had my VW Passat. Weraced a straight stretch which was about 10miles long and I beat him so hard. The aceleration on the VW was just amazing. My friend wanted to revenge on our way home and he overtook me by surprise, I tried to overtake him as well and this led to another speedi... (more)
Pros
The car is very comfortable inside.
The car's fuel consumption is very economic.
The car has very good acceleration.
A very powerful engine
Cons
VW is a specialized brand and in case of a breakdown you would need a VW specialist to help fix it. Not any mechanic would understand how to fix it.
