    Just looking through some ads for 2009 passats, they seem like a cheap car for what they are, is there anything I need to look out for on the 1.9 models of this era? And are they fuel efficient if not being driven too hard? Thanks

    Flywheels. Front arms. Engines are fairly good. Many are high mileage.

    A 2009 1.9 would be a BXE, which is best avoided.

    They are fond of callipers, handbrake buttons, steering locks, keys and more.
