BUMP, since this seems to be a general VW thread I'll post this here.
Any specific used VW models that are troublesome & worth avoiding?
Looking for a new (well used) car for my wife and we're looking at VWs. We've seen a 2001 Passat we're interested in, but I'd like to know if there's any specific models we should be checking out.
We're less concerned with the model type (sedan vs hatchback etc) and more interested in reliability & gas milage. From the few VW owners I've talked to (including my father) they've said they don't break down as often, but cost more when they do. My dad was saying he just spent $1,000 on his 2004 diesel jetta, but it's the first major repairs he's had done in 5 years outside of oil changes and such.
