Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Normal, good proletariat lorry. You can do anything to go. Very common german car, consequently, all details can be found in store, or whether, in addition, used ones for good prices. Changed timing belt recently - New kit cost 56 Euros. At beginning I was afraid to squeeze under hood, but gradually I've known and cared for it.
Mileage: 560000, along with that of engine also can't complain. Previous owner had fallen for some astrologers, and bought some fuel economy set (a magnet to fuel somewhere?), but eventually it is quite economical. You can even reduce consumption below 5l, when economically driven.
Cons: The door handles. Corrosion in every corner. Well, and no cruise control ..;)

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Spacious, space is enough for everything. For its 140hp (bosch nozzles) brisk enough, dynamic on the track, you can't really complain about the lack of power. The set is more than enough. Pleasant interior, considering that it has almost everything available. The dimensions of the car are also easy to feel, good maneuverability, even in parking lots. I am happy with my car.
I can also mention that the car was imported from France in 2018 with a mileage of 280,000 km.
Cons: I fell for the prevention of major diseases, as planned, at 300,000 km.
It is likely that the turbine will need to be replaced in the near future.
The electronics tend to slip, the keyless option slips, then shuts down, then doesn't lock the car.
I bought with one key, the production and coding of the other key costs 350eur.
Purchase year: | 2014 (age of car 25 years) | Owned for: | 40`000 kilometers (3 years) |

Average fuel consumption: | 10.0 litres per 100km (90% urban driving) | ||
Total cost of repairs: | 442 € (~ 147 € per year) |
Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: A highly durable and reliable car. Excellent, tough suspension, durable and powerful engines. Gas consumption (2. generation) - not more than 10 litres, regardless of driving style. You can adjust consumption to 8.5 l / 100km, but gas master dissuaded. Although it would be optimal for consumption, I dont took a risk to regulate.
Cons: Rust creeps through cracks - age guilty and tons of salt on roads. Ventilation control unit and door handle, is weakness of this model

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Before I drove Skoda, from zero over 300 000 km, current Passat B6 was purchased in auction with 243 000 km mileage. Cannot compare with Skoda interior in Passat is 10 times better, fuel consumption by one and a half litres less, dynamic much better, stable on road in winter
I'm driving a car from 1978 every day and have reached over 5 million km, so I know the thing
Cons: There are no complaints about quality of driving
Purchase year: | 1996 (age of car 14 years) | Owned for: | 400`000 kilometers (22 years) |

Would recomend this car to the friend
Pros: Technically a very reliable car. Still 80% original parts on top. Rolling is comfortable, yet the handling is excellent.
Fuel consumption is also pleasing. On the highway, especially when not sleeping, under 5 litres can be achieved comfortably.
Cons: After 6 years of use, it has started to rust noticeably.
