I understand the timing belt should be taken care of promptly, if it hasn't been done already, other than that it seems to get decent reviews.

I like those Passats. Not sure on the autostick. I thought it was a lot of car for the money even when they were new (as in, why buy an Audi?)

I have heard that some repairs can be expensive, yada yada. I guess it all depends on what kind of money are you talking about?
