Used 2004 Volkswagen Passat GLS TDi for Sale near Fredericton, NB

great mpg, 40+ avg city and hwy, brakes could be a bit stronger, acceleration is good... very peppy at low ends w/ turbo help, eng loud outside of car but hardly noticeable inside, good stereo system

The TDi, although has around 140 horses, is very preppy and is underestimated in acceleration. Great handling and outstanding braking. Plenty of room for passengers. Seats are mildly uncomfortable on long rides, but not terribly unbearable. Wonderful trunk space and great overall exterior and interior design. Outstanding mileage for the size and power of the vehicle. The manumatic is handy and fun to play with on long stretches. Caution: The germans tend to accent the new car smell in the volkswagen. Bring gas mask.

The car has "bells and whistles" that no one uses and add to the price and complications of this year. Buyer beware, you will have to study the owners manual just to figure out how to change your clock when daylight savings time kicks in, along with other basic features. There are numerous annoyances and oddities. The car lunges forward when you turn it off. The transmission lurches forward when you slow down or stop at random times. The radio settings change at random. There is no way to get the windows to open just an inch or so, the automated opener switch is not sensitive enough. The key locks in the slot for no apparent reason. The car alarm will go off randomly for no reason. The car drives well and is comfortable for long trips. The "little things" will make you crazy
