I test drove one of these today, and literally, I was stunned by how quickly the windows roll up and down. That was easily the most astonishing thing about the car.
the engine on the 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat Engine Petrol engines: 1.6 L EA827 I4 1.8 L EA113 I4 1.8 L EA113 Turbo I4 2.0 L EA827 I4 2.0 L I4 ALT 20v 2.3 L VR5 AGZ/AZX 20v 2.8 L V6 ACK/APR/AMX 30v 4.0 L W8 BDN 32v Diesel engines: 1.9 L I4 AHU/AHH TDI 1.9 L I4 AFN/AVB/AWX/AVF/AJM/ATJ TDI 2.0 L I4 BGW TDI DPF 2.5 L V6 AFB TDI 2.5 L V6 AKN/BDG/BDH/BAU TDI
Great car. I have the 02 glx 4motion, well over 150k and no problems. the car is smooth, handles well and the overall quality feel is there. i drive on poorly maintained dirt roads multiple times a week-no rattles.obviously you need to be on top of everything (oil, and other fluids, etc.) but of you are, this car will go forever.most complaints i see are easily avoidable. people just complain when they screw up and dont understand real maintenance (newsflash-you need to go beyond oil change)
@seanf125l I drive the same car minus the 4motion plus the v6 and the only thing i dislike is that even in manual mode (i have an auto trans) I can't get the full 6500 rpms out of the engine... it always shifts around 5750 :(
@eliruben123 just saw this response since I dont use the account. I think (to oversimplify it) that the computer system in the car limits your RPMs to avoid damage to the engine. If you look at a lot of the technology design in the car, theres a lot to make sure that drivers can't hurt the car, like the system that causes it to reduce available power during engine malfunction to stop complete shut down. But honestly, you won't get ideal torque and accel at 6500 so doesnt matter much
Great video and Channel! But i was wondering if it isnt any trouble is to find the W8 model (sedan/wagon) and do a video review? im looking in to getting one soon and would like to know more about the vehicle besides the fact of it being a rare car.
lol "nice and quite" dosent sound like it. im seriously thinking about getting a 1999 GLX how good are they overall? im concerned about the tune up cost that ive heard are expensive and on a side note anyone now how the bass sounds ? thanks :)
@griefer1 We have a 2002 with well over 230k that still runs great and has had very few problems overall. Bass is pretty good with the Monsoon system. Comparatively speaking, domestic and Japanese cars may be cheaper to maintain, but a Passat from this model range was meant to be a bit more car...so you pay a bit more to own it. In my opinion, totally worth every single penny!
that generation Passat was much nicer than the current generation IMO...smooth sounding V6 engine too...nice leather seats...they looked more luxurious
Ive had my 2004 passat v6 glx for a few years now, bought it used with 60k miles now it has almost 100k miles on it. I drive about 60 miles a day now and get 28mpg average. Have not had any real problems with it except the ac, its my second vw. I would recommend this car to anyone.
@6589justin VW's just do that, ive looked at a decent amount, my favorite was the 04 R32 that i looked at, it does the same thing, the beeps are just low..
I had this car same color & year except mine was a 4motion. Oh man I hated this car, I bought it in 2003 with 13,000 miles on it. It had power window failures, radio blew fuses all the time, & the brakes were worn out at 24,000. I traded it in 6 months after purchase for a Honda. No problems what so ever with the Honda. I'll never by german again. Overly heavy doors, non-refined V6, annoying buzzer with door open even while car is running, & cheap leather on seats. Yes I HATED this car!
@Protozzz Thanks bud! A lot of people don't realize that about 80% of the time I cannot do them because I can't take the cars out, unless they are at my Dad's dealership. It's hard for me to do during school, but when I get on break I will feature more test drives
@MrSpeedking13 It is considerably luxurious for the price, seeing as one of my friends has a 2001 A6 with the same engine and body style I can honestly say the interiors are close to identical except his A6 has the cold weather package with rear heated seats and also has a Bose stereo in it.
