2008 Volkswagen Passat reviews

Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI 2008

I have always owned a VW ever since I could drive, this latest Passat is faultless, with smooth "torquey" power delivery, and simply eats up the miles. I covered around 450,000 miles in my 1998 Passat and this just proves how reliable they are, this is on the same turbo, gearbox and clutch! Service bills were never extortionate and the standard oil and filter changes when required have kept all my VW Diesels in good working order. The Passat in particular drives like a hot hatch cornering well and picks up rapidly when you wish to let yourself loose on the road! The car has plenty of space for luggage and passengers. The one main feature I love about VW however, is that the interior and bodywork alike wear very well with age, and friends and family could not believe the condition of the upholstery and bodywork on my 1998 version when it had covered such high mileage. My latest Passat has only re-affirmed my belief that this is quite possibly the best middle of the range passenger car in its class. A real tribute to VW.
