Replying to: janetlacrosse (Apr 18, 2006 3:24 pm) The old Camry shouldn't be compared to the current one - it had nowhere near the road feel a car should have; something someone has addressed previously. The new Camry should be much better. Replies to this message: janetlacrosse (Apr 19, 2006 2:32 pm)

Replying to: janetlacrosse (Nov 14, 2005 4:05 pm) You were concerned with resale and bought a VW....that is ironic. And to talk about problems, ever heard of the sludge issue on the 1.8t????

Replying to: fsowirles (Apr 19, 2006 5:49 am) Yes-I have heard of the sludge problem. I've read all about it - fortunately it is not a 2004 issue. And Yes- I doubt resale on a Sonata will not hold up to a VW. You come across very - having a bad day?

Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 18, 2006 4:36 pm) This was a 2005 Camry. If the 2006 is a better feel - good for Toyota. I do notice 95% of the drivers are over 50 or 60. Perfect car for them.
#1798 of 1833 I have a 2003 W8 Passat and I am upgrading to a Camry by lawguy661 Apr 19, 2006 (2:57 pm)
I bought the W8 after trading ina a BMW 330i. I needed a little more room, and the Passat fit the bill. It has been relatively trouble free, other than going through 2 sets of break pads in 36,000 miles (probably a driver issue, although the car is heavy). My only major complaint (and this probably isn't an issue with the new Passats) is that I get terrible, TERRIBLE gas mileage. I get about 13 mpg in the city, and the thing takes premium fuel only. Hence, I placed an order for a hybrid Camry. Replies to this message: mattgg1 (Apr 20, 2006 4:34 am) krzyss (Apr 21, 2006 9:55 am) jthewood (Jun 15, 2006 1:12 pm)

Replying to: janetlacrosse (Apr 19, 2006 2:28 pm) Nope, my day is fine. I have owned Passats (B5/B5.5) and know first hand how poor the resale is.

Replying to: fsowirles (Apr 19, 2006 3:33 pm) What year were your Passats? Did you enjoy the drive? I have never heard that VW has a poor resale. Is this based on a trade in - or for sale by owner? Glad your day is going well. Replies to this message: fsowirles (Apr 20, 2006 1:24 am) janetlacrosse (Apr 20, 2006 3:02 pm)

Replying to: fsowirles (Apr 19, 2006 3:33 pm) link title According to this site, VW is quite good actually. The brand ranks 3rd, after Honda and Toyota.

Replying to: janetlacrosse (Apr 19, 2006 4:04 pm) 2000 and 2002. They were great to drive. The resale comment is based on what I see them selling for within a couple of years after new. The newer ones 2004+ seem to fair a little better in relation to the rest of the market. I loved my Passat, but would never buy one new. Just like my Volvo. Never buy a new Volvo unless you are keeping it unitl it dies, because resale is horrible. Even on the "R" line. Replies to this message: janetlacrosse (Apr 20, 2006 3:02 pm)

Replying to: lawguy661 (Apr 19, 2006 2:57 pm) lawguy - I've got to ask...What kind of gas mileage were you expecting when you bought the overweight, 8 cylinder Passat? I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize you're going to get horrible gas mileage and be forced to buy premium fuel. Didn't you take these factors into account before spending $40K+ on the car. Now you're in the market for a hybrid!?! LOL You remind me of these people who buy gigantic SUV's, cry about filling the tank, then trade it in for a Civic. Replies to this message: krzyss (Apr 21, 2006 9:55 am)
