2002 Volkswagen Passat Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Too many parts, special expensive fluids, sealed transmission, a little over priced, does not hold value as it should over time. Safety is great has many air bags, but not a lot of room in back for passengers if driver and pasenger are over 5'-4".

Silverstone grey, bought new right when the B5.5 body style dropped, 5spd euro sedan. Loved every minute of it. Torquey and fun 1.8T with the stick.

This is our baby mobile, and it's kept her safe so far. Even with all the crazy drivers in Massachusetts. I recently had to swerve violently to avoid a total moron who decided to turn left and we totally did not hit them. It was a miracle, and I give 98% of the credit to the car's handling.

I firs test drove this car and was very impressed with the engine power and noticable torque. I have two kids and with thier seats, well it wasn't going to happen in the golf so we decided to buy this one. Very powerfull motor @100500km. Spins in rainy days and snow even with new tires. very comfortable ride with the engine being in the very front of the car you could hardly hear anynoise. I already got a ticket going 160km in a 100km zone. I will keep it for a long time. I just did timing belt and water pump, regular maintenence.. all is great, and sooo much room for everything that is KID involved.

Car is nearly 10 years old. no rust. NO major electrical problems that some fols complain about. Hauls LOTS of stuff and is a good daily car. The car is ok to drive although a bit too much under-steer. Seats are extremely comfortable for long journeys. No other car I have ever been in comes close.. not even BWM or MB. Take premium fule although mostly city driving gets 10L/100 KM which isn't too bad.

This car has always been enjoyable. Got it with leather and the but warmers work great. Once you get this thing past 90 its like driving a sports car it just doesnt want to stop. The turbo works magnificently.

for a TDI Sport or goes very well. this one has all the mod cons, like climate controlled air conditioning, alloy wheels, electric windows all round, alarm and immobiliser as standard, tinted windows on the rear , automatice rain sensor, auto tinting interior mirror, to relieve headlight dazzle.

We liked it at first. Had great safety scores and that is what I was looking for. But now we find it is hard to get routine services done.

I think It's A GREAT Car , and It's Super fast car , it has great performance , and above all of that it's not cheap or expensive . And I recommend this car SOOO much to a freind , because simply he could never forget it .

The 2002 Passat was the first new car I ever purchased, so my memories of it may be a little rosier than the reality. But I recall the car as being a decent performer with good gas mileage. It had a nice ride, the seats were comfortable and it had that cool-as-hell VW dash lighting. Oh, and the stereo was fantastic.

Loved it! I actually had the 1.8 Turbo...oh my god the torque is incredible. Really fast, not heavy at all.

Performance, excelent Acceleration, awesome Braking, good Handling, excelent Build quality, the best ever is a VW Appearence, nice, realy nice car, trap the looking eyes Gas, a lot hahaha Maintenance, i dont know Fun factor, its a VW just this!

Our first VW that Mollie and I have ever owned. This thing is fast and looks good to boot! Basically, it has the same engine that went into the Audi Avant and has a tiptronic tranny. We bought it used with 32k on the clock and since then have put over 20k of our own miles in almost two years! It's Mollie's daily and then some. We are almost always in the pslut as it gets better gas mileage than my truck and is more comfortable.
