Passat is very fun car to drive, and hadlles very nicely on highway (I own 99 1.8T). Problem areas are electronic and suspension, you'll need VAG-COM to read fault codes when problem arises--this will keep you informed on any electrical problems. Suspension is anothor story. I like my Passat even though the parts are expensive, I don't hink it is very relialbe car and rather expensive to maintain.
