Volkswagen Passat Estate SE New model 2.0lt TDI 140 2005

What a let down, the car had constant faults; Air bag light kept coming on, Broke down 3 times, Fuel pump, Fuel cooler, Software problems, engine emission flap failure £400 before the final death at 92000 miles when oil pump failed. Inchcape VW Bridgnorth were useless, the changed oil pump cost circa £1000 to do then they inform me engine is scrap. On inspection by another competent engine company Inchcape had put it together incorectly and damaged the crankshaft drive gear. I would be very careful of buying one with high milage unless you can change oil pumps and the turbo yourself otherwise expect big garage bills. Also I would not recommend Inchcape; their customer service is disgusting & service rubish.

Volkswagen Passat Estate Sport 4Motion 2008

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

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.

Volkswagen Passat Estate 2.0 FSI 5dr 2007

This is my second Passat Estate and VW have done a great job in updating an already cracking car. The boot is now bigger and the interior feels even plusher. Brilliant car that drives exceptionally well and is affordable to run. 5 out of 5.

Volkswagen Passat Estate 2.0 FSI 2007

This car drives much more nimble than you would expect for its size. Spacious in the cabin and great safety features.
