Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Ideal town car. Not so good on open roads.......Poor in cross winds, not too reassuring in the wet, rolls markedly. Above 80 mph (on the continent) not too reassuring handling. Driving position good.
What's it like to park?
When park assist working, it is good feature. Without it the car is fairly normal.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Yes. Steering alignment out. Bald tyres on rear by 11,000 and fronts gone by 18,000. Not the driving style as last radials on front of Passat lasted well over 40k. Visual display on dash sometimes fails to work Stereo illogical.
What's most practical about your car?
Interior space, good taxi.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Park assist when it works. Bi xenon headlights (not the variable geometry though).
