Passat

I bought a Passat three years back. It was my worst decision. It is an apology to German technology. In three years they have replaced two electronic module, alterantor, comprseeor, rear camera, fly wheel., Blower motor, cooloing water pump. The senior management incl MD do not respond to mails. They are asking me to change my brake pads and discs every 25,000 km. I have not changed even onec on my Toyota car after 65,000 km. The service centre claims that the xtended warranty is only for parts and not labour. The servicing has to be done every 15,000 km. Just service bill will be close to Rs 50,000 and you can be sure they will find another 50,000 as replacements. This for a high end German car.

I presume the story is same for Polo, Vento and other cars. Do not get fooled by initial car features. The total cost of ownership of VW cars is too high. I wonder how VW in Germany are accepting this poor quality.

Som Mittal.

It is ok as long as it is not in the service centre which is oftenPassat is a poorly engineered car. Too many problems. I guess similar issues with other models
