Beyond the cheating scandal...does anyone have direct ownership experience? Are there years or models to stay away from? I am thinking of a used car for my son - heading to college next month. Thanks in advance!

The reason I even brought it up (allot of ignorance to follow) is just down the main street from my home a beautiful VW has been rolled out several times to attempt to sell. I believe it is a Passat (it is very sporty looking) and I do not believe it has sold. He appears to try to sell it every 6 months or so over the last two years. It might have sold and was thinking of knocking his door and inquiring - I have been tempted to stop by many times but never had. Just for kicks - I'll go over shortly and if it is still around, get details and pics. Cheers!
