How do I know if the Volkswagen Passat I'm interested in is reliable?

I've heard mixed reviews about the Passat's reliability. How can I determine if the specific model I'm looking at is dependable?

As someone who owns a Passat, I can say that mine has been incredibly reliable. Make sure to check its maintenance history and for any major repairs done.

In my experience, Passats tend to have fewer issues in comparison to other cars in its class. However, it's always a good idea to get a professional inspection before purchasing.

One way to gauge the reliability of a Passat is to look at its consumer ratings. Additionally, ask the seller for any warranty or service records.

Don't be swayed by hearsay. Each car is unique and it's important to have a mechanic inspect it before making a decision.
