Volkswagen Passat 2010

5 star review

 

I have done 20k in less than one year of ownership. A great car. Economical at an average 55mpg and I have got close to 65mpg and best range was 920 miles with 15 miles left. A huge boot and good interior space. Noisy interior squeaks often though. It is underpowered and needs frequent gear changes at low speeds. The electronic brake is no problem, I always leave it in gear as per the operating manual. To start the car on on a hill you need to press clutch in fully then the accelerator and the car drives with no problems. The 3 dc outlets are great for all mod cons requirements including the one in the boot. At speeds of 80+ (autobahn) the mpg drops to 45, at 90mph this, equates to 37-40mpg not bad for 1.6 tons. Lag in cruise control acceleration noted. Relaxed driving and variations in the lumbar support region ensures a chilled driving experience. Variable service, have got up 18k previously, this appears the norm. Please note when driving hard keep an eye on the oil level! Variable service also is for cars that have not been driven hard. Hope this helps.
