I've had nothing but problems with my VW Jetta - and now that I think about it, maybe I shoulda shelled out the extra dough and got the Passat....

Anyway, I'm in the market for the Hybrid...

Good to see the Prius get the nod...

Consumer Reports said a lot of VWs are bad. It seemed like the V6 Passat was the exception. The 4-cyl Passat was very bad.

How does the Mazda 6 rate overall? or the Acura TSX?

I don't know about the TSX.

But the Mazda 6 gets good ratings. It's reliability is below cars like Passat, Accord, Camry, Maxima, and Altima V6, but it's above even more models. The 6 gets good performance and safety ratings if I remember correctly.

The A4 and Passat are built with similar parts off of the same platform. They don't come off of the same assembly line, nor are they built in the same plant.

The Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg are built off the same platform as well.

I bought a Mazda 6 for my wife.

No complaints. Nice car.
