Tires Continental
I'll second the continentals. I have them on my car for 2000 miles now and I think they are a great tire, good traction in all conditions. I had 205/50's on my car before and to me, they look too small in the wheel well. Just my opinion.
Pros: good traction, great tire
Cons: look too small

I use regular, dino, Mobil 10W-40. I got so many miles on my Passat(185,000), that I don't using synthetic Mobil 1 would help much.

Thank goodness the brakes are superbly balanced -- else I'd be burping the ABS system too.
Pros: superbly balanced

I have a 5 speed GLX and use Blizzaks. Everyone will chime in on how they don't handle well in dry conditions but they're not as bad as they're made out to be. To me the whole point of a "snow" tire is to sacrifice some dry road handling for ice & snow performance. I make that comprimise for a few months per year to have great ice & snow traction and I'd think up in your area that would be more of a priority.
Pros: great ice & snow traction
Cons: sacrifice dry road handling

I'm a firm believer in Nokians. I have 3 year old 16" Nokian NRWs on my Passat Wagon 1.8T 5 speed, and my wife's Passat Wagon 1.8T Tip is riding on brand new 16" Nokian WRs. With the ESP and the Nokians, my wife's car feels invincible in snow - which is exactly how I want it to be. Both sets are rated for extreme conditions AND provide excellent dry-road performance with minimal noise.
Pros: excellent dry-road performance, minimal noise

I am happy with my new Sekurit windshield, this replacement is my second in 4 months.
Pros: happy with replacement

I have had a K&N in my 1999 Passat for over 20,000 miles. No CEL's or any other problems. I didn't notice any siginificant performance gains, possibly a 1 mpg increase in gas mileage. To be safe, I haven't put a K&N in my 2001.
Pros: no CELs, no problems, slight gas mileage increase
Cons: no significant performance gains, potential incompatibility with newer models

I had a K & N put in my 2000 Passat and same thing happened to me. Turned off car and next time I started it, I got the check engine light.
Cons: check engine light
