My wife bought a slightly used Jetta Sportwagen TDI several years back. Excellent vehicle. When the emission scandal occurred, they gave us a great offer and we sold it back to them. We went with a new Golf Sportwagen Alltrack (they now call the wagon the Golf instead of the Jetta), and it's still great. Highly recommend.

My 09 Jetta got destroyed by a cement truck and I walked away without a bruise. Drove better than any of my friends cars and was very practical with gas.
Maintenance was a bit pricey but I drove that thing 70k miles and never had a serious issue.
Hope that helps!

They built a plant a few miles from my house to build the Passats a few years back and now my home value has shot through the roof. Gonna sell this year or next year. So I like them, but won't buy one of their cars.

Good enough for the fuhrer, good enough for me

Had two diesel Passats in the last five years. Both have been great, as long as you like getting 40+ mpg.

Wife has a Tiguan that she loves. It wouldn't start the other day; I thought it was a simple starter issue - turned out the electrical system was shot. $5,500 just for parts, but electrical system is covered for 8 years or 80k miles, so yeah me.

This!!!! I just bought a Passat and I really like it so far. I test drove the Tiguan but I wasn't impressed with the power and over all feel.

Was out looking for a first car for my son. Drove a 2002 Jetta GLS TDI w/5 speed. 196k miles on it. It drove and handled on the road like a dream. Everything on the inside seemed to work, but the interior was trashed. Mostly cosmetic, no real tears, besides the fact that the headliner was missing.
I offered $1500 and he agreed. Haven't mad final decision yet.
