At work yesterday i passed by my bosses car and noticed the parking lights on. Mentioned it to him and he asked me if i would shut them off in his Passat. He's got leather and all the goodies. I opened the door, shut off the lights and closed it. Then it came to mind- what a quality sound. real solid. Then passed experience came to mind of my leased Jetta of two years ago. One nagging problem after another. I started thinking that the quality of a car is sometimes deceiving. Not to say the Passat isn't a good car, it probably is. But it's about 30 grand. I wondered if it has the Jetta reputation. I kwow when he bought it the A/C wasn't working and some other problem.
So, i'm happy with my Contour and it's been great. the only problem so far is the nasty recalls wasting time.
My next car has to have the entertainment of a Contour and the quality materials of a Passat or similar car.
