Volkswagen Passat Estate Sport 4Motion 2008

5 star review

This replaced a Merc 220CDI estate. Not quite the same fun drivers car but much more comfortable for passengers. Lower fuel consumption of 4wd is offset by huge savings in servicing. I have had 3 services so far and the cost still has not reached a single merc service I had. Loads of legroom for rear seat passengers even with drivers seat fully back. Auto hold handbrake feature takes a little getting used to, but is brilliant on hill starts when towing. I drove a much older model at work some time ago and cannot believe that if anything the comfortable driving position especially on long distance has improved. Very traditional in styling terms and nothing to write home about in the cabin, but rock solid. Should be on any families shortlist, especially if you tow.

Volkswagen Passat Estate 1.9 diesel 2008

4 star review

I have a 58 registered Passat Estate 1.9 diesel. I use it for a taxi, a few interior rattles, a squeak when I press the gas pedal, and definitely the worst clutch control I have ever experienced, disappointed. Hoped for a bit of quality.
