VW Passat or Honda Accord?

Would you rather have a 2007 Volkswagen Passat with 89,000 miles or a 2008 Honda Accord with 106,000 miles? And why? The longer and more thorough the answer, the more likely you'll receive 10 points.

It depends on what you're looking for. If reliability and low cost of ownership is at the top of your list, then go with the Honda. If handling and performance are at the top, then go with the Passat.
The post above is incorrect in stating the Passat is reliable. Consumer Reports gives a very low reliability rating to the 2007 Passat.

I would personally go for the VW Passat. Both cars have very good reliability and typically last the same number of miles (roughly), so the Passat has the potential to last longer. Also, the Passat has better fit and finish than the Honda. I rode in a Honda Accord 2008, and it was not that bad, but very confusing with the dash layout and materials were sub-par. Though i did not drive in the Volkswagen, i did see one first hand and it was very nice. I would imagine that it would ride close to the Honda as well, if not better. With gas mileage being so close and cost (i assume) being so close, i would go Volkswagen!

Always pick the Honda over ANY German car. Consumer's Report magazine has a used car guide. Check the reliability ratings of each marque. The Honda is the obvious choice.

Honda blows away VW. Not even close.
