Performance and Design: Taken from the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study, this measure is based on owner satisfaction with vehicle Performance, Style, Features and Instrument Panel, and Comfort.

Initial Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand.

Predicted Reliability: Derived from historical trending for a vehicle and/or manufacturer in our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability Studies, Predicted Reliability is a forecast of how reliable a newer vehicle might be over time.

Overall Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).

    best car

    i got my passat se about a month ago i love it.The ride is very good the inside is very nice.Also has all the safety fetures you could want.I drove pu trucks four 15yrs but with gas like it is i said its time to get rid of it.the inside seats are called leatherett the same as whats in the bmw3/cts/and the mb c class .Those are cars that are priced a lot higher. I got the premium 8 stero with 6dic cd and mp3 and 8 speakers the sound is great .what sold me on vw was i got hit from behind when i was stoped on the freeway in traffic at 45mph in my wifes jetta.Back end was pretty bad body shop told me that if it would have been a toyota/honda/kia/nissan it would have been totaled my wifes jetta was not.There was no frame damage and the jetta drives like new
