And when the Passat starts to have "issues"? Ask me how I know. In the past four months:

Fuel pump
Distributor
Coolant flange (plastic...imagine that!!)
CV joints (left side)
Radio failure
assorted electrical glitches

The car is, granted, ten years old, but it is my wife's car, driven very little (86k miles), living in the sunny southwest (no snow or rust). It is comfortable and stable, and, yes, durable. But reliable? Towed seven times in the past 14 months. Buy something Asian (even American) if you want reliable rather than durable.
