my girl had a 97 passat glx vr6 and it was by far the worst car ive ever had to deal with. There made cheap, and it shows, the interior went to crap really quik. To get a door handle and a window fixed it cost her 1k. The thing is horrible to work on as well. Even a break job is a pain the ASS. I would buy anything but that car, hers only had like 130k on it and it was dying fast. DO NOT BUY!!!
