Hi folks

I've just purchased my first vw. 2010 diesel passat wagon. I'm by happy with it but the warranty expires late march 2013. So, very soon. I've done some research and now I'm extending that research to this forum.

I understand vw have extended the warranty on the gearbox to 150000 km, and 5 years, but my concern is that something else expensive may go wrong in that time.

I'd like to hear from as many people as possible as to their opinion on whether the $2700 allianze warranty is worth taking the plunge. I'm under the impression that vw are typically very reliable and here's hopping that its never required.

I'd also like to know what typical problems could one expect to occur and are these expensive repairs. Does this model have any known gremlins that I should be concerned about?

Any help, advice, or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers folks.
