Replying to: bjbird2 (Dec 28, 2005 1:50 pm) "The VW Jetta won the comparo in the Feb. 2006 Car and Driver Magazine."   So, how have VWs fared over the past four or five years in CR's owner-rated reliability comparos?

Replying to: bjbird2 (Dec 28, 2005 1:50 pm) which version of the Jetta was this? I have heard great things about the Mazdaspeed6 so would expect it to lift the trophy. Also, why doesn't the Jetta then make it to the 10Best list ahead of the Accord? Replies to this message: gogogodzilla (Jan 06, 2006 6:34 am)

Replying to: 03accordman (Dec 29, 2005 7:43 pm) I think it was the Jetta GLI.
#1788 of 1833 I'm not sure by anonymousposts Jan 06, 2006 (8:54 pm)
that the Jetta GLI was available when Car and Driver did their 10 best. Besides, the Accord wins in the family sedan segment whereas the Jetta would be more likely to replace the TSX in it's slot than it would the Accord.
#1789 of 1833 reliability etc. by allhorizon Jan 07, 2006 (1:30 am)
My experiance with my 2000 Passat with 55k miles ...   My 2000 GLX 4Motion wagon is doing just fine (at 80,000 miles). The only things I have needed to replace out of warranty so far are a battery ($70 and 15 minutes including sales at Kragen's) and a couple of lights (a few bucks and 10 minutes including sales). I had a number of weaning problems, as quite typical for new model VWs (MAF sensor, gas tank sensor, seat memory) that were covered under warranty in the first few weeks of ownership. And a premature water pump failure, that was covered (but cost me some money for towing). OK, this is, as we all know, not the most reliable car on the planet - I have had about one warranty issue per year (including an oil leak). But my cost of ownership has been stellar, resale value alike (wasn't considered totalled in a severe $16,000 crash when parked in a parking lot), and safety is one of the best of any car of this model year (http://www.iihs.org/news/2005/iihs_sr_031505.pdf) ...   I am happy with this car - it drives and handles like a champ - makes me smile everytime I drive it.
#1790 of 1833 2007 Camry SE (V4) v. 2006 Passat (2.0T) by elchurro Apr 07, 2006 (2:32 pm)
I am trying to decide between the Camry SE (4 cyl.) and the Passat 2.0T. On paper, they seem to be very similar. I have not yet driven the Camry as they are reportedly flying off the lots but hear good things about it. Although the Camry has less hp, the Passat apparently has some reliability issues.   I'd appreciate any guidance.

#1791 of 1833 New Passat does not have reliability issues, yet. by krzyss Apr 10, 2006 (5:39 am)
It is new design so nobody can predict, but... It has turbo charged direct injection engine. If you want to cut corners on maintenance this is not car for you.   Krzys

Replying to: elchurro (Apr 07, 2006 2:32 pm) Don't go to dealerships asking to drive a "V4", as they'll think you know nothing. 4 cylinder cars have "inline" engines, noted here as I-4 (or an inline-4).

Replying to: elchurro (Apr 07, 2006 2:32 pm) I have a 2004 Passat and love it. I test drove the 2005 Camry - it was nice and smooth- but in my opinion did not grab the road the way the Passat does. Camry's seem to be very popular with the over 50 age group. It's a nice smooth ride - but I think you'll love the way a Passat drives. Good luck with your decision.
