Volkswagen Passat Saloon 2.3 V5 4d (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
So much kit inside for a low price. The engine is brilliant and smooth.
Costs
Fuel should be nearly 30 round town and 33 on a run, which for a 2.3 V5 isn't too bad.

On the road
Driving
Mine was an early one and a bit softly damped for my personal tastes. Get the 16"" alloys and lower it slightly for less roll on bends.
Performance
Not lightning fast but quick enough, can be chipped by AMD.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never missed a beat, no cambelt to worry about either.
Image
Mmm, I think the high roofline suits the estate better.
Comfort
Loads of space, leather, alcantara, climate, cruise etc etc.
