100,000 miles

Well, I put 100,000 miles on my Passat. I have a friend how put over 330,000. So I am hoping for another 100,000. A few issues, but if you change your oil you should be able to put at least 100,000 on it with relatively a few problems.
 
Hi, I have a 2001 b5.5 Passat. I bought it new and have owned it longer than any car I've owned before. I think VW has screwed up their marketing in the USA. So, I've decided to keep the b5.5 rather than buy a new car. VW tells me I must upgrade to Audi to get a manual, leather, and a sunroof but I cannot justify the additional cost of the Audi badge and the loss of free maintenance. This has been the most trouble-free car I've owned. I did replace the headlamp assemblies last year because they were getting milky and installed a HID kit at the same time. I just completed the 120k mile service and think it might be time to replace the clutch for the first time - or at least the trans fluid.
