Yeah, just to get the FSI?

Might as well just spring for the BMW 320i. Virtually the same price, plus it comes with 3 years repair + service + warranty while the VW only has 2 years warranty.

High cost of maintenance, same as all continental cars.

Might as well spring for a second-hand Bimmer or Merc.

One thing about Jap cars, they sell quickly if you are ever looking to sell one.

Warranty is not really that important to me.

Why get 320? Because it has BMW badge on it?

I like BMW, but Passat is definitely a better buy, and it's not so common.

VW might not sound as 'nice' as BMW, but they own some of the biggest names, Audi, SEAT, Škoda, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti.

Yep we had a 2003 Audi Quatro V8 in the shop a few weeks ago to removed the navigation and stereo equipment out of it. Its a 90,000 CAD car and very nice ... BUT ... the customer had to replace the transmission a few years back 15,000 CAD

Just curious.

How much does a 2008 ranger xlt v6 go for there?

Well, transmission is never cheap to replace, and I've also heard of a big Toyota (can't remember which model), requiring transmission change.

I think the Passat is a better car compared to the 320. Perhaps a 325 or 335 is a better comparison to the Passat? Maybe the local 320s are just to basic?
