Is a Volkswagen Passat a good car to buy?

I'm thinking about purchasing a used Volkswagen Passat but I'm not sure if it's a reliable car. Can anyone share their experience with this model?

Absolutely, I've had my Passat for 5 years now and it's been extremely reliable.

I've heard mixed reviews about the Passat's reliability, but I would recommend getting a pre-purchase inspection just to be safe.

I had a Passat and it constantly had issues. Wouldn't recommend it.
