I'm one of the few Americans who still drives manual. I'm ashamed of how my country drives. They don't treat it like a passion like they do in Europe. And not all Americans are assholes like that other guy I apologize on his behalf.

Frankly you do a better job than most motoring journalists who talk about ethereal things like "feel" "soul" and all that bs. Kudos. You have my vote.
I'm appalled by that fake wood crap... I'm no VW fan at all but I definitely would not have expected that from a VW! Or is it just cheap stick-on stuff not from the factory?
I currently own 2001 VW Passat GLX 4 motion. The only way to describe the car is... piece of crap. It came with 2 year warranty but as soon as the warranty expired the car started to have problems. The only decent thing about this car is that it's not that expensive to maintain it. But I would never buy another VW ever again. I know they have improved the quality since then but I just don't want to take the chance. If someone gave me for free, I'd drive it but won't spend a dime on it.
@PiotrekOsiecki You ignorant uneducated fool. Quote me where I said American or Japanese cars are better. Scroll down, read my post again and tell me exactly where I said that. Did you mother grow up sucking on Hitler's cock? Godforbid anyone mess with the German car lol. You can't even spell maintenance correctly lol. Either you drink Kool Aid or you're just an uneducated jackass. Either way people will laugh at you. Read my review and then your post. See the difference? Now fuck off!
@gab13005 Yes, back in 01 it came with 2 year warranty. I think now VW offers 3 year warranty. Forget the warranty part. I dare everyone to check the gas millage on VW Passat 2001 GLX 4-motion. Go to fueleconomy(dot)gov and put this car info. Then search the new Lexus LS-460 you'd be shock to see that LS-460 gives better milage.
Another thing I like about my GLX 4-motion is the 4 wheel drive. It's awesome in winter on snow. And cheap to maintain. Other than that... piece of crap.
Oh gosh the dreaded tiptronic transmissioon from vw... Thats the only thing ive learned is bad on most vw's is there trans. other than that a great car but sadly the trans in vw's is so expensive to get fixed/ repaired so i would suggest a manuel for anyone looking for a vw 2006 or older.
Very solid cars. The only notable problem with them as well as the Jettas and Golfs of that generation was a faulty brake light switch that locked up the gearshift. It's an easy fix though.
@saabkyle04 Couldn't you have just closed the door? It is pretty loud. It's really hard to make it out, as quiet as that engine is. Just something to keep in mind next time. Some people want to hear the engine, not the door buzzer.
@saabkyle04 I did hear the engine, but I really don't get why the car is warning you that the door is open. I mean, like you wouldn't notice that? Is that mandatory in the US to have that warning sound, because I've never heard it on cars here in Europe :)
It's a nice car by the way, I love the colour of the interior.
When i was a kid my dad had a 1991 passat 1.8 90hp. Manual everything, I was happy it had a radio in it. The doors wouldn't open or close in the winter so we had to hold on to them while driving. And i guess it was pretty noisy on the highway. My dad allways pushed it to the limit on roadtrips and at one point the engine blow. What a car, huh! But it didn't have any rust when he traded it in with 186k miles on it.
LOL funny horn. Nice car though, considering one for my first car. Used ones are affordable, and you can always count on your VW! Parents had a Golf hatchback and loved it.
hay kyle whats a good sporty 2 door thats good on gas 20 mpg or more if you know pleas make a video or show me one of ur videos pleas it would be appreciated
@datboiwes3 2253 pheatons were sold in america from 2004 -2005 the low amount of sales led vw to remove it from american delers in he last quarter of 2006 in 2009 there were plans to bring it back to america but it never happend............ im sure kyle could find a pheaton or maby the super rare 6.0l w12
@saabkyle04 Yeah they are way different .. In 2006, they upgraded the Passat and Jetta as well as many other Volkswagen cars with new designs and new looks ... Way more different, just Google all the info ... But yeah, they are really cool and awesome cars !
even today in 2012 these are some nice looking cars i like umm looking for one my self
