So I've been driving around in a brand-new car uninsured...

Bah you shoulda gotten the Legacy or something else. I just don't like the way the Passat looks, it just...bland. Not much better than Accord and the previous Camry; the new Camry looks better IMO.

EDIT But congrats anyway

Our VW is nothing but a money pit. I will never buy another German car EVAR!!!!!!

All of our friends who own them have had a similar experience.

Ugh. They look nice but so does Pamela Anderson. Nothing but trouble!

Well I'm not sure I'll still have it after 3-4 years. The folks over at VWVortex told me to get used to $75 oil changes. This is my first experience with a German car, and I've gotta say that so far the ride quality is very impressive. My dad's coworker drove us all to lunch in it and he said it reminded him of his old E-class from 5-6 years ago. I didn't take that as a complement, and I'm pretty sure the ride's firmer and sportier than that!

So why did you buy it???? What selling point did it have? VW interior? I'm sure there are plenty of other cars with comparable interiors for the money. The exterior is meh. Power, handling? Nope. Do you just like problems? I don't get it
