2008 Volkswagen Passat Diesel Estate by hellrazor-7 • 6th January 2017
I regret the day i bought this car. Never ending problems
in 18 months, i had problems with the handbrake, clutch, windscreen wiper motor, a blown engine!!!!! a turbo, a crankshaft sensor and an EGR valve. has cost 1000s
I absolutely cannot wait to get rid of this car.
It has caused me no end of bother since the engine went, as if enough wasnt fixed on it. I am sick of it.
2008 Volkswagen Jetta Diesel Manual Saloon by Gin • 21st November 2013
I Bought a 2008 2.0 sport Jetta with 52,000 on the clock in March 2013. It was the best decision I've ever made.
In the past I've had Renaults, Vauxhalls and Peugeots but as soon as I sat in the Jetta it was in a different class to the others.
It's a great car to drive, very sturdy and well built as all VW's are and it has more than enough power for overtaking as well as motorway cruising at leisure.
Running costs are very good for a big engine like this, takin £65 to fill it to the throat and then getting 530-550 miles to the tank, driving with manners.
Never have had any issues with the car, it has never missed a beat and the service intervals are usually every 20k miles although i'll do mine annually to keep her smooth.
Don't think I'll ever go back to previous brands in the future, once you have driven a solid car like this then an Insignia feels like a bag of bottles.
2008 Volkswagen Passat Diesel Manual Sedan by Mickey Pickace • 5th April 2013
Own a 2008 Passat 1.9 Diesel. We do big mileage and this car is fantastic.
Very roomy and comfortable. Very economical averaging 50 - 53 MPG.
I cannot speak highly enough of this car. It has 145,000 miles on the clock. Fly wheel was replaced 15,000 miles ago but every car needs maintenance from time to time.
I had a number of Audi A4's before this car and I would rate the Passat much higher for reliability, comfort and space.
