Greetings Mike.

I used to own a '95 Passat Wagon, VR6, 5 speed. I really enjoyed the
car. Interior space for hauling is great. I enjoyed this vehicle even
more after I installed a sport suspension. Didn't lower it very much, a
few CM, but it really hugged the road nicely. It did stiffen the car up
a bit, Bilstein shocks and spring sets are such and that is not to
everyones taste. The VR6 is a lovely motor, low end a bit slow, but once
the RPM's are up, it really sings. I used to love 3rd gear.
I can't recall any major mechanical problems over 2 years of driving,
when new a few interior items malfunctioned but fixed under warranty.
If you are into it, lots of aftermarket products available.
Why did I sell it? Needed more space. Hence the syncro. A few regrets,
it was a nice car.
Good luck.
