 To start off with, I like the styling of the 2005 Volkswagen Passat GLS TDI.  I also enjoy the TDI's fuel economy.  However, the Turbocharger stops working intermittently.  I have had the car back to two different dealerships on five separate occasions to repair of the turbocharger.  The cruise control disengages intermittently, as do the daytime running lights.  I too, have experienced the inability to remove the ignition key from its slot on the steering column several times.  I still do not know why that has happened.  The front seats bottoms are a bit short in length and there is not much padding under the leather.  You can feel the closed cell polyurethane foam that lines the seat bottom upon ingress and egress.
