Just some info for you,
I have had 3 vw's 83 jetta, 88 golf, and 97 gti. All fun to drive and looked fine, and had good cargo room. All 3 had tons of problems, especially with door handles and leaks. None of them though had that annoying suspension creak in the winter though like the saabs. All of the VW dealers I worked with from vt. down to virginia were all quite average, especially the ones here in Boston. My cars were in all the time. I have found with them around 80k is when trouble really starts. I made the switch from Vw to saab, just 6 months ago with a 00 9-3 base. Much better car, much better service here in Boston, still some quirks like everyone talks about, but you get that with any foreign car. In case you do get the passat, get he extended warranty, I got it for my 97 gti, and it saved me a ton of money, well worth it. I tell all my buddies to stay away from VW. just my 2 cents.
