2.5's are awesome across the board. 06's had their issues but that was more related to the new datalink wiring system and an all new engine at the time. I think the fact it is the base engine in the new Passat will do wonders for it's realiability rating. It is a solid engine. No timing belt to worry about, runs on regular, and 15,000 km svc intervals if you are so brave.
Also the fact that a bunch of the internals are the same as the Gallardo V10, that's cool. You can brag to your friends you have half a Gallardo.
