We love almost everything about this car. Drawbacks, however, include a non-touch screen GPS, and weird, inexplicable issues. We recently had the car in the shop 3 times for the same issue. The third time, they kept it almost A MONTH and kept telling us it was for different issues. Hmmmmm. Fortunately, it was still under warranty and free to fix; otherwise, I would have been VERY upset.
I commute to work daily and the Volkwagen Passat makes the drive a lot less tedious. It has a 6 cd changer and heated seats for those chilly mornings. This car also appealed to my safety concious husband since it has numberous air bags and amazing crash test ratings.
