Are Volkswagens reliable vehicles?

I'm interested in purchasing a used Volkswagen Passat, but I'm not sure about the reliability of their vehicles. Can anyone provide insight into their experiences?

In my personal experience, Volkswagens have been very reliable. I've had my Passat for 5 years now and I haven't had any major issues.

I've heard mixed opinions about Volkswagens, but I've had a great experience with my Passat. Regular maintenance and care is key to keeping it running smoothly.

I had a Passat for a few years and it constantly had problems. I would not recommend purchasing one.
