A pleasure to drive over long distances, the Passat capably handles uneven surfaces and winding roads and offers top speeds of 115-120mph. VW have a reputation for producing quality interiors and the Passat is no exception; the interior combines plenty of head and leg room for all, quality seats and lots of additional storage; both the 1.9 and 2.0 TDIs will comfortably seat five people. Both fuel economy and emissions, and residual values are higher than many in its class across the range, and it also scores the maximum 5 stars in NCAP safety testing.
