Miles Overview
The 2001 Passat is Volkswagen's mid-size sedan, a more grown-up alternative to the Jetta with a roomier cabin and a smoother ride. It feels connected to the road, with a solid chassis and steering that gives you confidence, though the base engine is a bit gutless. The interior is well-built and comfortable, with supportive seats and a clean, professional look that holds up nicely. Owners report that repairs can be expensive, with common issues like window switches, sunroof leaks, and the heating system acting up. The GLS is the one to pick if you want the Passat's roomy cabin and smooth ride without the V6; the GLX costs more and drinks more fuel. Its 1.8L I4 makes 170 horsepower and pairs with the manual transmission, which gives you decent around-town response once you're past the initial lag. The GLS comes with front-wheel drive as standard, so expect a bit of torque steer if you get on the throttle hard in a turn.
