 I ordered a 2003 VW Passat GLX 4Motion Wagon in 2002, direct from VW.  Consumer Reports had written a review that said this was the BEST wagon you could buy, so I believed them and switched from my 20-year relationship with Mazda.  At first I LOVED this car, and I especially loved the dealership.  Over the years, I have never had a car have so many recalls - and in my case, everything that could break did break prior to the recall - so I've had to have these things replaced twice!
