Are VW Passats reliable vehicles?

I am thinking of purchasing a used VW Passat, but I've heard mixed reviews about their reliability. Can someone who has experience with this car give me some advice?

In my experience, VW Passats are very reliable cars. I bought one used and have had no major issues with it. I highly recommend it.

I have owned multiple VW Passats and have had a lot of problems with them, especially with the electrical system. I would not recommend this car.

It really depends on the specific car and how well it was maintained by the previous owner. Make sure to get a thorough inspection before purchasing.
