I've been dreaming of the VW Passat since I drove it in June when my parents and I visited family in Missouri. Mom and I were talking again about it this weekend which prompted me to go online and see what was out there (in my price range) to accommodate my family of FIVE!
In a perfect world where money was no object I would buy myself a Passat and of course Tom would buy whatever he wanted for himself. Since we live on a tight budget and there is no room for two car payments I will most likely continue to just be dreaming of the Passat ;)
That being said and with only looking online and not at the actual dealership. I'm left wondering if the Jetta SportWagen or the Tiguan might accommodate our families needs?
Having three kids and finding a car that accommodates two car seats and one booster seat has felt very much like a nightmare. Chrysler has recently asked us to sign a release agreement in return for a check in the amount of $1000. Since I was not born yesterday Tom and I have decided not to sign that document and will most likely hire an attorney to straighten things out with Chrysler. Our van spontaneously com-busting has been the biggest headache that will just not seem to go away. God forbid Chrysler do what is right and pay us for our personal belongings and the money that I used to pay off my Van, at the very least.
This whole van fire debacle has made me never want to buy a Chrysler ever again. (Which is kind of sad since my Dad is a Chrysler Retiree) I say that not because I think the next van will catch fire but because the customer service is horrendous. With that said how is the VW experience from any VW owners or previous owners out there?
