Volkswagen Passat 2005 reviews

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.

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

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.

Pros: A large, stable, manageable, with DSG's nice to go.
Cons: Carefully for entire duration of follow up. Especially when buying from importers - to identify actual mileage and condition. DSG could be a major problem, if you have to repair it.
