I have to agree with Greg, this is a fantastic car with a known flaw that has dulled its lustre, but in the main this has been the best car I have owned over 27 years. I have a gutless Corolla hire car at the moment, horrible slushbox, crap economy and couldn't pull skin off custard! Once I get it back I will start calling the dealers for extended warranty quotes as I do intend to keep the Passat for at least 2 more years.
I only hope that VWA see sense and go the recall route, or they could lose significant future sales as we are intelligent consumers, who research our cars, and will keep away if we don't see action.
My only concern is what could replace the Passat if I feel they don't deserve my repeat business? I am a diesel convert, so I won't go back to volatiles....
