Passat Value Ed 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 110,000 miles

This car went through 2 batteries within 30,000 miles and the battery for this car is close to $200! This among a plethora of other issue makes this car the worst vehicle I've ever owned hands down!

Passat Limited 2.6L

I have had several cars in my lifetime and VW is the worse car ever. Started out with electrical problems; then the catalyst converter needed to be replaced - which I had to pay for out of pocket. Now, the car is stalling.... I just found out the I need a new battery... WORSE CAR EVER.
