Passat Bluemotion

Review by Tom Mann on 15/10/2010

Vehicle

4dr 1.6 Tdi BlueMotion 2

Review

Excellent long distance companion with outstanding economy. I have managed an average of 65 mpg day in day out yet still managed to enjoy a pleasant, non-tedious drive on many an occasion. The sound system is great and for such a large car it is surprisingly manouverable.

Favourite Features

- Fuel Economy
- Comfortable Seats
- Visually Appealing
- Cornering Capability
- Seat Adjustability
- Sound System
- Engine sounds remarkably good for a diesel

Suggested Improvements

- More potent engine such as the one deployed in the BMW 320d ED.
- More standard kit
- Larger wheels
- Stiffer suspension
- Twin exhaust

Great VW Passat

Review by Eleni Proudman on 27/4/2010

Vehicle

4 Dr 2.0 Highline Plus Tdi 170 DSG

Review

I have had my Passat since new in 2006. It has 40,000 miles on it and has never let me down. The fuel efficiency is often 55-60 miles per gallon (diesel). When I drive another car, this one is always superior.

Favourite Features

Heated seats, leather interior, radio which adjusts volume according to speed, alarm which you can switch on with a child inside (short time of course) without it going off needlessly.

Suggested Improvements

The manufacturers could attempt to make the interior more interesting and snazzy. The shine on the VW sign on the wheels deteriorated after a couple of years and so this could be improved.

Performance

Review

Since I owned this vehicle, and compared with one before AUDI A4, found this one more economical as well as better on the road holding. Beautiful road holding, with very little or no trouble all round.

Favourite Features

Road holding, as well as control of panel, which gives you confidence to drive. Road visiblity is something to proud of.

Suggested Improvements

Make it bit more sexy with look of body work. Better audio equipment, like latest models, heating system to be all round of inner body.

Luxurious car!

Review by John Chase on 19/3/2010

Vehicle

4dr 1.8 Tsi Highline

Review

This car is the queen of comfort! I love the stylish interior design: 'class'! It feels very comfortable and looks very beautiful. As for the exterior design, it looks beautiful too but it doesn't have the Volkswagen style and my favorite part is the front headlights. When it comes to performances, it never lets you down. I find the engine quite powerful and I am not disappointed with it at all!
Generally, I am very satisfied with this car and it's my favourite one among Volkswagens!

Favourite Features

Comfort: Multimedia support... Very comfortable seats... Beautiful interior design: stylish dashboard and luxurious wheel.

Suggested Improvements

Better exterior design. Lower price (This price is quite expensive even for the great features this car gives). More available colors and a better fuel economy.

VW PASSAT TDi

Review by DAWN HOCKING on 30/1/2010

Vehicle

4dr 2.0 Tdi 110 Cr R Line

Review

This car is the best car I have owned and I can tell you that I have owned quite a few. The car is on an 04 plate and bought used in 2007. It has been reliable, comfortable and with quick acceleration I feel safe knowing I can pull away quickly if need be. We had a volvo estate before this as we camp a lot but the boot space is fantastic and we have had no problems with our camping equipment fitting in. The seats are leather and the space in the car and comfort are fabulous. The drive is comfortable and quiet. It is all singing and all dancing. We love it.

Favourite Features

The acceleration and speed. Space inside the car and boot space is huge compared to a lot of other saloons. Seat warmers, bleeping noises that tell you when diesel, service, water etc are needed and when doors and boot are open. Air-conditioning and climate control. Radio and CD player.

Suggested Improvements

There is nothing I would change on this car. It has been a very reliable car, comfortable and a dream to drive.

The Passat

Review by Richard Stokes on 29/12/2009

Vehicle

4dr 2.0 Tsi Sport

Review

This car is a good solid car for the whole family. It is [perfect for family and also for business use. It has a good space for both golf clubs and the family shopping. Inside the interior is practical and comfortable for long journeys. The fuel economy is good on longer journeys, a little greedy just around the town. Average maintenance costs for a car of it's size are affordable.

Favourite Features

My favourite features on this car are the road stability and the comfort. The built in sound system is more than adequate. The car boot space is ideal as I play golf and wife does enjoy her shopping so we never have to load the back seats!

Suggested Improvements

The improvements I would suggest would be to have a bit more storage space in the back for children's toys etc.. I would also suggest a larger glove box in the car and possibly climate control separate for the front and the rear of the car.

Great car to have

Review

This car - everyone should have it. Since I have had it, never looked back, and had not single problem with it. Wish I had bought this model last time round. Great all round.

Favourite Features

Giving me information of fuel usage and how many miles still to go before refulling it. Heating system is great and adjustable to your need.

Suggested Improvements

If there was satnav built in, then this car would be complete. Great for everyone who loves driving a respectable car.

Passat Saloon Review

Review by A Robinson on 7/12/2009

Vehicle

4dr 3.6 V6 R36 Dsg 4motion

Review

This is the most luxurious car I have ever owned and so smooth to drive. I noticed such a difference from the Renault Megane I previously owned. It is rather hard on the diesel but I believe that this is surpassed by the quality of the drive the car gives you.it Is spacious in both the front and back and the boot is deceptively large and I can fit masses more in than I thought I would be able to. I have a metallic navy colour and this is easy to keep clean also.

Favourite Features

The smooth drive it gives me, the computer system is top of the range, comfy seats (in a lovely material), extremely roomy in both the front and back areas of the car, very spacious boot with plenty of room for a family's belongings (suitcases, camping, etc.). Loads of space in the inside door pockets and glove compartment, beautifully finished dashboard and the lighting is magnificent at night.

Suggested Improvements

If possible I would love it if there was some way that the soft interiors e.g. seat covers and the hard, smooth interiors e.g. door handles, dashboard, etc. could be made somewhat dust and dirt repellent. This is the only problem I have with the car and I know it sounds so petty.

VW Passat

Review by Jamie Stokes on 7/12/2009

Review

VW's have always been a passion of mine and none more than the Passat. Beautifully made and also reliable, its a breath of fresh air in these times where cars are breaking down left, right and centre. A must buy in my opinion.

Favourite Features

I love everything about the car if im honest. An all round fantastic car for business or for the family. No complaints here!

Suggested Improvements

Give them out for free!! Only joking, as far as I'm concerned you can't improve on motoring perfection. And no, I dont work for VW!!

Volkswagen Passat

Review by Maher on 7/12/2009

Review

The Volkswagen Passat is a well behaved and well built car with lots of room and perceived quality. Improved engine less polluting. It is a family car with lots for room. It is a mix of estate and saloon model. Very attractive car.

Favourite Features

It is a large family car and upmarket models. The leather interiors are very good. Very comfortable and best part is they are heated seats.

Suggested Improvements

It would be great to have a MP3 player plug in option standard. Bought from new it could be pricey.
