Is the Volkswagen Passat a reliable car for long road trips?

I'm planning a road trip across the country and I'm considering buying a Volkswagen Passat as my vehicle. I've heard mixed reviews about its reliability, can anyone share their personal experience?

In my experience, the Volkswagen Passat has been a reliable car for long road trips. I've taken it on multiple trips and haven't had any major issues.

I can't speak for everyone, but my brother has a Volkswagen Passat and he's had some issues during his road trips with it. He ended up having to get it towed once.

I would recommend looking into the maintenance history of the specific Passat you are considering buying. That can give you a better idea of its reliability.
