After 15 years, I'm finally replacing my blue 2008 Volkswagen Passat Lux.
My new (to me) is also a blue Passat. This one is a 2021 R--Line [NMS]
I test drove it yesterday and started the buying process. I pick it up next week. It runs really smooth and has all the features that I am used to, plus newer tech. It was a low--mileage, one-owner car that has a clean CarFax and was regularly maintained.
While I was there, I also test-drove a Mazda CX-5 to see if I wanted to make the switch to a crossover, and while it seemed good, it just didn't have the feel of the Passat. So I guess I'm not ready to go that route.
I love my old Passat, but it was getting too old to keep. Both front fenders are rusting out, the clearcoat is peeling and the paint is worn through in a couple places, the headliner is drooping, and some other nagging things have started to appear. It still runs well. I just had a oil change and some other regular maintenance done. The car looks like hell, which is a shame because she was really nice looking when I bought it in 2011. But it is time.
