The 2005 VW Passat TDI 20,000 mile review
In September of last year gas prices became so bad that I could no longer afford to drive my 1998 Wrangler to work anymore. The 16-MPG highway I was getting was costing me, with no exaggeration, $340.00 per month in fuel alone. (Yes, I work 50 miles away from my home. I’m not happy about that, but that is where the work is.)
With this in mind, I began to look for a new car. The first car I went to look at was the 2005 Toyota Prius. We went to our local Toyota dealership, and after being ignored for 20 minutes, we were finally shown the car. I’m a larger fellow, but I fit comfortably enough in the car, and I liked its features.
