If turbo is the answer, what's the question?

I haven't heard many good things about the Passat from my VW friends... Lots of stuff you can't swap over from standard golfs, gtis, jettas, etc meaning more money.

youll never get me to recommend any VW! Those things are a pain in the @ss when they come into the shop!

ya, boo vw. Plus they have shoddy german electrical gremlins. If all you want is a commuter get a japanese car. Especially if you want a fwd car. RWD get a 325 bmw or a miata.

take it fromme audi's are almost all economic awd cars with loads of power and upgrade-ablity. they really are no harder to fix than a vw but 10 times more reliable.

If you're interested, my coworkers mother is thinking about selling her '85 325e 4dr. It's in excellent condition.

what vintage are you looking at? Since you are looking for a 2.8, i assume you are looking late 90's vintage? if so, be prepaired for electrical problems. I do like the VR6 motors, and the electrical issues of those vintage VW's, you are also stuck with a FWD car. In that sort of price range, i think you could find a car that is AWD or RWD that will be a lot more fun.

you should really look into the 89 to 96 audi's 90quattro, 100quattro, gt quattro, a4 2.3lt quattro,a6, s4. loads of power, all awd, 2.3l inline 5's come with stock 175hp, 2.3Lt (turbo) come with 210 ish, and 1.8Lt with 180hp. plus they run great for like 300000miles as long as you take care of them. i've owned more than a couple of the audi's and let me tell you if your looking at vw's you should really check out audi. all of there cars are based on and built off of years of r&d in rally circuit racing, performance and safety...

I'm kinda with the rest, have not heard that much great things about vw's. Especially the repiar parts. Sounds like audi is the way to go. I have drive a quatro in the snow once and it was a blast and way easy to handle.

I've heard nothing but good things from the few Nissan owners I know.

Their pick up trucks are very reliable, and seem to hold their value pretty well.
