How reliable is the Volkswagen Passat's transmission?

I'm considering purchasing the Volkswagen Passat, but I've heard mixed reviews about its transmission. Some say it's very reliable, while others have experienced issues. Can anyone share their personal experience with this car's transmission? Is it worth the investment?

I've had my Passat for over 5 years and have never had any problems with the transmission. I make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and it runs like a dream. I would highly recommend it.

I unfortunately had to replace my transmission after only 2 years of owning my Passat. It was quite costly and definitely a headache. I would recommend doing thorough research and possibly considering a warranty for added protection.

I've had my Passat for 3 years now and have had no issues with the transmission. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance, it should last you a long time.
