Is it worth it to purchase a Volkswagen Passat?

I'm considering buying a Volkswagen Passat, but I'm not sure if it's the right choice. I've heard mixed reviews about its reliability and maintenance costs. Can someone help me make a decision?

I've owned a Volkswagen Passat for the past 5 years and I absolutely love it. It's been reliable and the maintenance costs have been manageable.

I drove a Passat for a few years and it was nothing but trouble. Constant trips to the mechanic and expensive repairs. I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't have any personal experience with the Passat, but I've heard great things from friends who own one. Maybe you could test drive one and see how you like it.

I used to work at a Volkswagen dealership and I can tell you that the Passat is a solid choice. Just make sure to stay on top of regular maintenance and you'll be good.

I've heard that Volkswagen cars have high repair costs, so I would recommend getting an extended warranty to save yourself some money in the long run.
