Volkswagen Passat (old)

If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen… but perhaps not the old-shape Passat. It fares badly here, with more frequent trips to the local dealer than you would have expected from a VW. And you’re also unhappy with the soggy, vague handling.However, you’re pleased with the general build quality and love the comfortable ride.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Oh dear! You’ve fallen out of love with VWs, – they may be practical and cheap to run but they disappoint nearly everywhere else. You tell us the gap between them and rivals is closing.
