maybe you should elaborate why do you say passat is crap?
*
Ok first of all actually my old accord still good condition which was 4 years . Nothing problem at all .
The new passat problem give is something knocking sound from under carriage which sent to VW and changed two parts the sound still there
The service advisor never ask me to go with him what sound is that but just simply changed other part then give back the car to me but the sound still there .
I think the service center not done professional
That day the radiator water lesser and indicator light on but I just sent my car for service two weeks ago how come they dint notice my radiator water is in minimum ..? Anyway I sent the car to VW . They just top up the coolant
But never tell what happened .
One week later radiator light on again
Then sent to VW again .
Yesterday the engine oil indicator on too
. And on highway the car is swing
Passenger behind feel dizziness .
And the air cond flow doesn't benefit to rear passenger
. the internal space is smaller than accord .
The rear boot closer design also difficult for ladies
Lastly the jerking clutch problem ...

I driving 100km/h
Straight highway . Not easy to claimed new clutch
Have to do two times software update
Third time still jerking then only can replace clutch .
I done one time software . Jerking cond back after 2 month. Expect ppl keep send car to service center ? It's troublesome .if every 3000km need to check engine oil level . What a different with 20 yr old car keep engine oil dry up and y they give car service every 15k km since the engine oil will dry up about 3000km-5000km
Anyway I feel 15k km is too long .
That why I will go back to japanese car next time .

Went to cheras south sc and cheras sc
Yup can't denied the only benefit of this car is go up genting . Haha

hahahaha cross ur toe also bro ... blardy jetta 1.4, but torque and bhp same as a 1.8 ... twincharged and turbo charged difference...
bro its the downside of a turbo car ... its afterall a turbo car ... and normally if those pasang sendiri turbo they dont fare to drive more than 5k km service interval ... all will service 5k

vw can do 15k km ... and you should check every 5k ... just to be sure...

I see .
Pay extra to get additional work . Hais
But before that have no issue of engine oil dry
Clutch jerking started at 40k km mileage
And now 65k km mileage started engine oil drying .
