How reliable are used Volkswagen Passat cars?

I am considering buying a used Volkswagen Passat, but I'm concerned about the reliability. Can someone who has owned one give me some insight on their experience?

I have owned two used Volkswagen Passats and have had no major issues. As with any used car, make sure to get a thorough inspection before buying.

I have a friend who had a lot of problems with their used Volkswagen Passat. I would recommend doing some research and potentially looking at a different make and model.

I have had my used Volkswagen Passat for over 5 years now and have had no major issues. Make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and you should be fine.
