JJ, you may want to rethink the Passat. 50 miles per day is not that much... even assuming that distance 7 days a week is less than 20K/year. If the majority of those miles are expressway or rural highway, that's a different story -- as TDIs shine in those environments. However if you want an upscale mid-sized sedan that easily exceeds 30+ MPG (40+ for most, 50+ for a few), then the only open issue is long term reliability. And frankly, it's an unknown, but not stopping me from eventually buying one.
