mrbmwrob Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 My dad is thinking about getting a Passat saloon or estate for his next car, but he is worried about quality problems, reliability, etc. I was just wondering what you folks thought about the current Passat, and your experiences with it. He wants to get the TDI, but because he lives in California, he can't with the really strict diesel standards here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I have a few mates with Passats and they have had a few niggly little problems buy nothing major, nearly all of these are 1.8T engines. If he wants a TDi couldnt he buy it in Arizona or somewhere and then drive it in California or am I missing the point here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbmwrob Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 The state of California won't allow you to own a car that doesn't pass smog tests unless it's over 25 years old. Yeah, I've heard about a lot a problems with the 4, so I guess I'll tell him to go with the V6 BTW thanks for the little info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Does the California law also then apply to moddified cars, do they still have to pass the same legislation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
