 I bought my Passat used, 2007 model in 2008 and absolutely love it!  It came with the sport package which really sets the car off with the 18 wheels/tires and lowered suspension.  When I was shopping for a car in 2007, I settled for a Jetta Wolfsburg edition because of my finances at the time and could not afford the Passat I really wanted.  A year after I bought my Jetta I saw the Passat 3.6 w/sport package on the used lot of my local VW dealership.  After talking with the sales manager I finally got a price I could afford.  When my coworkers ride in my car they tell me that they really like how the interior is laid out and how the car rides and the exterior looks.
