How reliable is a VW Passat?

My parents have always driven VWs, and now that I’m ready to buy my first new car, they think I should get a VW Passat. Are Passats reliable?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
First, congratulations on buying your first new car! I know we hate to admit it when our parents are right, but in this case, they are. The
VW Passat
 earns consistently above average ratings from entities like JD Power and Consumer Reports for reliability, despite a few hiccups and recalls over the last five years.
Since you’re taking a moment to consider your new car’s reliability, be sure to do the same when it comes to your
car insurance’s
. Before you head to the dealership to pick up your new car, let
Jerry
 review your coverage for you.
Just download the free
