2007 Volkswagen Passat Review:
Look up "Plenum Filter Clog" Our 2004 Rife with electrical problems. Turns out many electronics are under floorboards (great German engineering) and some unaccessible filter called the "plenum" filter clogs causing this area to fill with water. Known issue among Passats. I was woken up this AM to the alarm screaming in 1" water on backseat floorboards. Also, Volkswagon sold us Onstar and the service was discontinued 2 years later. Great $800 option.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Volkswagen Passat?
Quiet ride, reasonable fuel economy if you keep your foot off the throttle and manually shift the car. Avg. mpg in winter mixed driving 22 to 27 mpg, avg mixed driving in warmer weather above 40 degrees F. 24 to 34 mpg.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Volkswagen Passat?
Have the front passenger seat back fold flat with fabric or leather seating.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Volkswagen Passat?
great acceleration, no turbo lag, fabulous gas mileage--never less than 30 mpg per tank and up to 36 mpg on the highway with manual 6-speed, the tight short-throw 6-speed manual transmission, solid sure road feel at high speeds,

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Volkswagen Passat?
more and brighter colors, free maintenance for warranty period

2007 Volkswagen Passat Review:
VW has has winner here-- a car that seems impossible because it maximizes size, value, comfort, acceleration, sportiness and extraordinary gas mileage. The entry-level passat 2.0 Turbo offers almost all the options anyone could want at a price (after negotiating) of less than $24,000. That's like getting an Audi A-6 (but admittedly with the Audi A-4 drivetrain)for $20k less.

2007 Volkswagen Passat Review:
the timing chain tensioner bolt snapped off in the block at eight thousand miles. we were on vacation at time. we were stranded for a week. had to fly home. vw said they would pay all expenses. it cost me four thousand dollars. vw then said they werent paying anything. the timing chain wore a huge gouge in cover. the aluminum files went in the oil pan. vw refused to change the oil no less pull the pan. i am now suing for lemon law. vw has to have the worst customer satisfaction of any company. vw took the car from the dealership when i told them i was filing for lemon law so i dont have it for my case on friday.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Volkswagen Passat?
Very comfortable on trips, great features, loads of room to haul everything you need I have the wagon),eye-cathing appearance, great mileage for such a big car- espceially on cross country drives.

Cons: How would you improve 2007 Volkswagen Passat?
Gas and break pedal are too close together - would like the turbo to kick in just a second earlier.

2007 Volkswagen Passat Review:
This is my 6th VW and I love it - great car. I have learned the hard way to only use regular and mid-grade gas. I too had elelctrical problems with earlier models until my dealer told me to use regualr gas - the other burned too hot and melted the electrical components. VIOLA no more porblems in the last two VWs.

By building a reliable car. Mine has had several issues, system failures, trim pieces peeling and falling off at only 12,000 miles

2007 Volkswagen Passat Review:
I thought this was the car to get VW back in the reliability game. If mine is any example, they have a lot more work to do. Dealership service at Fairfax VW is incompetent and the car has been in more times for faulty electronics gremlins than is desireable. I would look elsewhere unless you love the looks of this car.
