Is purchasing a used Volkswagen Passat worth the risk?

I am considering buying a used Volkswagen Passat, but I have heard mixed things about its reliability. Should I take the risk or look for a different car?

In my experience, purchasing a used Volkswagen Passat is definitely worth the risk. My Passat has been my most reliable and cost-effective car yet!

I wouldn't recommend buying a used Passat. I had nothing but problems with mine and ended up spending more on repairs than the car itself.

Based on my research, the Passat tends to have more issues as it gets older. I would suggest looking for a different model or considering a certified pre-owned Passat.

Don't let the negative reviews scare you, I have owned my Passat for 8 years and it has been a reliable and comfortable car. Just make sure to get a thorough inspection before purchasing.
