We have a 2001 B5 Passat 1.8T w/5 speed. Bought it new with 15 miles on it. I have only had two issues:

1. A/C switch wenbt south two months after purchase. Dealer replaced and fixed within 48 hours.

2. Fuel leak on return line below car. Repaired by dealer free of charge, out of warranty.

The car just turned 50,000 miles last week. I commute one way twice a week 140 miles through the Lassen National Forest ( lots of snow and ice). Car averages 31-32 MPG round trip. Handles snow and ice very well.

I would buy another, if this car last another 5 years.
