Jetta - Passat Anyone drive one of these? (Page 2)

Not one of the cars you asked about - although it is a Passat, technically - but I drive a CC Sport. About to hit 10k miles and I absolutely love it, to the point where I look for reasons to take it out for a spin. The 2.0 turbo (combined with 6-speed stick) is quick, very responsive and I get great gas mileage, ~32-34mpg highway on 93 octane. The 4-seater layout is a deal-breaker for a lot of people, though, and to carry bikes I have to use our minivan (VW Routan). It's the first car I've ever owned that I've received compliments on from random strangers in parking lots, at stoplights etc.

I had an '02 Jetta before it that ran fine, until my wife drowned it in a flooded street during a rainstorm last year, never ran right after that but it was a fun ride up to then.

ETA - I had one window on the Jetta drop while driving, it sounded like someone threw something at my car and when I got home I noticed the window was down and wouldn't raise. Dealership took care of it the next day, and proactively fixed whatever the known issue was with the other windows too.

My neighbors bought a new Passat TDI in the spring.  We've gone a few places with them in it and it is a real nice car.  Funny thing is her husband is German and they stopped buying VW in the past because of some quality issues and just came back to the brand.  That TDI is amazing, she travels a lot and gets great MPG traveling 75-80 mph.  When he took me to the airport in July I asked what's the MPG is like at speed, at a steady 90mph the instantaneous MPG was 35-38 at 100 it was 32-35 (FL flat as can be).
