I just bought a 2011 Volkswagen Passat. I love driving it!
The Passat NMS won the Motor Trend Car of the Year for 2012., it replaced the B6 in North America.  Good car.
Woah, I had no idea it was THAT good. Volkswagen seems to be really reliable these days. 
They are reliable, but they got a black eye with the emission scandal of 2015, when they cheated by programming a tool to make their diesels pass emissions testing.
