AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments reflect mixed sentiments on the Volkswagen Passat, with praise for its driving experience, handling, fuel economy, and new features like folding mirrors, but many owners express frustration over persistent DSG transmission problems, reliability issues, and poor after-sales service. Some mention that recent models may have addressed earlier faults through upgrades, yet concerns remain about high maintenance costs and component failures. A few comments compare it unfavorably to Japanese brands like Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, citing safety and reliability advantages. Overall, owners acknowledge the car’s comfort and performance but are cautious about potential technical issues, especially with DSG, and criticize VW’s reputation and service quality. The price point of RM171k is deemed high given the lacking of some standard features, amplifying ownership concerns.
