Still halfway looking into them, but I'm pretty terrified of VW maintenance costs. My mom had a passat years ago. It was awesome until it hit 100k and then it started doing lots of very bad things, like eating engines.


I had a jetta, and besides the a/c going out, it was a champion. Only reason I got rid of it was b/c we just had another kid, and the a/c happened to go out right around that time and the lady friend wanted a bigger vehicle.

120k miles with no A/C, still got 5k for it

Moms must've been a turd. It literally ate the first engine by breaking the timing belt and dropping the valves. Chewed itself all to hell.

Ate the 2nd engine when the oil pump went out.

I'm probably going to get a small truck just because I hate cars. Found a nice one that I'm looking into now.
