was looking into these, but after reading customer reviews about the many, many problems they go through, it just doesn't seem worth it. besides the issues, it looks like a decent affordable midsize German sedan with some torque, but with the Audi/VW reliability : /
I loved the way he drove between the cones from 2:08.. i have a 2008 passat 2.0 TDI highline in black and it just looks gorgeous. I guess this is the best looking car available in the market. The new one is ugly though.
i have a little problem, i found (angel eyes) but for 06,07,08 VW Passat but mine is latest model from November 2005. any one knows the Headlights fits on 05 model ? thanks for support
This car is so awesome. It has a timeless understated design, nice balance of power and efficiency, safety, space, and durability. I think this is my next car. I can't think of a more well balanced vehicle for me.
also if you geta new one - the 2009 facelift changes a couple of very small things in interior... like a new instrument panel from the cc and some small accents and i hear the interior quality is up also ... anyways take a test drive :)

from Erikpassat's channel - must be the best passat video on youtube ;)
ask anything :) has a couple of small flaws but the whole package definitely makes up for it, been using one for 2 years now and still excited about the car
anyway - roll on fresh rubber to avoid tire/road noise, best to avoid early 2005/06 models ... they tend to have some electrical problems, seen a "steering lock error" on dash, also deler fixed a electric wiring problem for 1 injector.... they should have made the interior fit n finish quality just a little bit better to make it a perfect car, servicing costs are german but if you take care of your car - nothnig to worry about, seems to be very reliable
steering is quite sharp and nicely weighted, maybe a littlebit numb in the middle but you feel the road very good in corners, electrical power steering works only when you actually use it and gives a natural feel and there's no hydraulic pump under the bonnet,
the engine is still somwhere in front of the wheels but is mounted sideways so it does not have that really heavy nose the previous model had - instead it feels light and zippy and puts a smile on your face, not a bmw - but very good
in terms of practicality it's miles ahead tho - it's the small things that make the car special - it has big pockets for stuff everywhere, double sunvisors that cover both front and sides, huge boot that opens by pressing a button, even a place for a umbrella in each front door, mine has a few minor interior rattles but again it has something to do with the fact the car is already 4.5 years old,
many people complain about too much hard plastics inside, not me - hard or not they have a high quality finish that looks very good and as far as i can tell - much less dust gets stuck in them...
if you get the sportseats try to get ones with the alcantara middle or cloth instead of full leather - they are supportive but just a little bit too slippery in corners to give you full comfort, but as all VW - they seem to fit everyone and keep your spine feeling great in long journeys
I own one. My 5th yr ownership, I am still in love w this car. Never had any problems

The new one is cuter then the 2008 and the CC is way better looking than it

Yea im really interested in getting it, its for a good price here in canada. And i dont really want to get an Acura.
I wanted to know if the service from the dealership or normal garages are expensive since its German?
And what might be the flaws pelase.:)
