Hey guys I'm looking to but a Passat wagon and was looking at these two. The 1.8T has 120k and the V6 has 110k. I know 1.8T is a good car and is cheap to fix but the glx is darn hot too. WHat is the bottom line? Is the V6 too expensive to fix in the future? Both owners say they took care of the timing belt and water pump in time. The V6 owner is a audi/vw tech and says he took v good care of it but I got the carfax report and it was owned as commercial for 30k in 03-04. Thanks much guys.
PS I saw some recalls on the V6 in 05-07, would VW still honor those?

v6 is a better car hands down. More reliable but not as good on gas. It has torque that is usable on most driving styles.

i own a 02 glx wagon 4-motion and its the best car I have ever owned hands down
