Most reliable car ever!

Owned it just under a year before I bought a new vehicle. While owning this vehicle, I never had any major issues! Very comfortable drive. Affordable fueling price. Low maintenance. She’s looking for a new, loving owner for her next chapter.

Favorite car I have owned

This was a perfect first reliable car to own. It has a very sleek style and comfortable ride. I drove this back and fourth to college for years without any issues.

My first car and I loved it!

This car is amazing! There are so many things crammed in this car so many features that you will be amazed by what it can do. It's smooth as butter even after being 11 years old and runs amazingly. The legroom in the front and back is amazing. But what makes it such an amazing sweet car is the sound system. The sound system is beyond that you have ever experienced. Clear crisp sound with such a powerful bass that you can feel the vibrations in your legs. For those of you who want to buy this as a first car, go for it! It won't dissapoint you.

The prettiest most reliable car I?ve owned

Is almost 2019 and a ton of new beautiful cars are coming out but my 2008 Volkswagen Passat looks like a brand new 2018 car and I get comments on it all the time and people can hardly believe it?s only a 2008! I?ve got compliments on the interior so many times, I had one problem with a recall but it got fixed for free and that?s the first and last problem I?ve had!

Most problem car I've ever owned.

Purchased the car 2 years ago from a dealer. Would not buy another one. Headlight wiring deteriorated. Transmission problems, A/C problems! I've owned numerous VW's in the past, would not buy another one.

Most luxurious car I?ve ever owned

I really enjoy all the luxurious bells and wistles. It?s reliable, but expensive for college. Things like premium gas and 17 inch wheels, but the sun roof is awesome and I love the seat warmers.

Most reliable car I have owned.

This car provides a smooth drive and has an amazing sound system. It is comfortable for all 5 passengers driving with you and has a sleek exterior. Be aware of your speedometer because this car can get to 60 very quickly. The car drives so smooth you will hardly notice how fast you're going. I strongly recommend this purchase.
