Feels very secure and surefooted. Cabin well thought out.

20v 1.8 petrol engine excellent, though it does rev out a bit on motorway - gearing could be a bit 'taller' in top!

Living with it
Reliability
Brilliant - my 3rd Passat and no problems.
Image
Middle-of-the-road image. May not suit some people.
Comfort
Excellent for tall or large-build people. The front is very roomy. The sweeping roofline hampers height at the rear just a little.
