    Between my son and me we have had quite a few VW's over the years. Currently he has a MK5 Golf GTi (and an AE86 Corolla) and I have a B6 estate with the same petrol turbo engine as the Golf.

    I really like extras on a car, my Passat has a few nice goodies. Being the SEL it has lots of stuff over the SE but mine was ordered with MFSW, dynamic xenon lights, powered tailgate, pearl effect cobalt blue paint. It has a sat nav fitted but is a VW Chinese copy, it is not the best but it will do.
    I have since replaced the 16" Adelaide alloys with the 17" Macau style ones. I changed the front power socket with a USB type one and have just fitted power folding mirrors with puddle lights and added front fog lights.

    I had an APR re-map done on the Passat and it goes well with 300 lb/ft of torque.

    Reliability wise I can't fault the car, I do spend on it to keep it healthy but in nearly five years it has not missed a beat, annoyingly a bit of rust is coming through.

    Thanks.
    The front wings were going rusty, one was replaced after a van clipped it at a junction and I replaced the other one a couple of years later when the rust was taking hold. I bought one online from a place that sends them ready sprayed, the paint 'match' was terrible.
    I was aware the tailgate was rusty when I bought the car and tried to get VW to do it under the corrosion warranty, I took the car to a local Inchcape and the guy went round it with his little gadget, he was amazed that the car had not had any bodywork done (at the time it was undamaged). I said ok then book me in. He rang back later and said they will go half and half on it which would cost me a fortune so I declined.
    Tailgate is still rusty, a second hand one will be going on sometime.
