What features should I look for when buying a used Volkswagen Passat?

I am in the market for a used Volkswagen Passat and need some guidance on what features to prioritize. Any suggestions or advice on what to look for?

As a long-time owner of a Volkswagen Passat, I highly recommend checking for features like a reliable engine, good fuel economy, and advanced safety features like blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning.

Having owned a Volkswagen Passat myself, make sure to also consider the trim level and available technology features. These can greatly impact the driving experience and convenience.

In addition to the exterior and interior features, don't forget to check for any potential maintenance or repair issues that may be common with older Volkswagen Passats. It's always better to be aware of any potential issues before purchasing.
