Volkswagen Passat (Old)

Despite the fact that early versions will be getting on for nine years old, this is still a poor set of scores.

You told us that no other car in the survey has worse handling, and 98th for ease of driving is poor, too.

But the most disappointing result is the Passat’s 94th for reliability. Given that VW prides itself on its attention to detail and robust engineering, this simply isn’t good enough.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

It’s tough for high-volume makers to stay at the top here, yet VW has climbed one place. The MkVI Golf will be included in the 2010 poll, and bosses will hope it will lift the firm further ahead of its rivals.
