During those relatively brief stints when a VW is providing trouble-free transportation, they are damn nice. I still miss my '91 Passat 5-speed wagon and I sold it 10 years ago. Don't miss the huge, non-stop outrageous repair bills, though.

Hmm that's what I'm gathering from my online reading as well. I know my wife kinda has her heart set on a VW this time. But if we're visiting the shop a few times a year it's gonna get old fast.
Our grand am isn't dead yet, so we're not in a panic situation, so I'm gonna try to get behind the wheel of a few Hondas as well. But I will say the Passat we drove yesterday was beautiful, but our baseline for comfort is pretty low.
