Driven: Volkswagen Passat




I took the delivery of my Oryx White Passat yesterday. It's bigger size over the Vento did not hinder while driving, though I will have to be extra cautious while parking. I am currently reading the owner's manual and getting acquainted with the feature. There are so many of them, I will at least take a week to be completely familiar with the car. According to the SA, the 2018 stocks are almost exhausted while the 2019 kits are awaited. However, the current discount is expected to be discontinued on the new kits. If anyone of you wants to avail of the discount, please hurry. I have started constructing my initial review. Hope to post it in a few days. Hi congrats on the new Buy. The white looks very elegant. Is this vehicle from the PPS VW? How much discount you got for this? The VW has stopped the Passat production and it will start only from next month. Then this should be the 2018 version, you should have got good discount. I was offered 6lacs discount from PPS VW white comfortline, but i was looking at Highline version. As of now i am driving Jetta Highline. Enjoy your ride and share the Experience. Any support you need on the service part, please message me, My friends are there in VW palace cross services.





The Auto Hold function furthermore stops the vehicle from rolling forwards or backwards when halted. The Golf Variant also has the Apple CarPlay! It is very useful and making life much easier! With CarPlay from Apple, you can manage selected apps from your iPhone while on the move. The apps can be operated with all the ease that you鈥檒l have come to expect from an iPhone. Phone, news, music - everything just at the touch of a button. And if you choose, you can even operate the system by voice control. For further information please visit the Apple website. You can select these standard apps which are on your iPhone. And it mirrors the map on your phone to the 8-inch display screen directly! I can also play my favourite music from my iPhone directly and select it from the touch-screen. Here are the controls above the driver. Controls for the lights and opening/closing of the panoramic sunroof are all here. Glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat.





It has an Infotainment player which you can insert your CD or SD Card. You can even store things below the front seats as well. Not many cars would have this extra thoughtfulness. This is same for both driver's and front passenger's seat. Spacious rear area and legroom! In fact, I love the colour of the seats.. It does not appear dirty easily too. There's also armrest and cupholders for the rear passengers. A HUGE BOOT SPACE OF 605 LITRES! You can simply put EVERYTHING in! There's a luggage cover as well.. With just a tap at the end of the cover where my hand is.. This is how it will be like after tapping it. The entire cover can be removed to create even more space. By pulling the flap on the right side, you're able to fold down the right seats and create more space for the boot. And for the left seats, the flap would be on the left side of the boot. Behind the rear armrest.. This is especially useful when you have long items like laundry poles to keep in your car.





So here's the Panoramic Sunroof. Memorable moments at the push of a button: that's something you can experience with the electrically operated panoramic sliding/tilting sunroof. No matter whether you have the star-studded heavens or deep blue skies overhead, in the Golf Variant you are always assured of a breath-taking view. When the sunroof is opened.. Hence.. perhaps wouldn't mess up your hair! The fixed rails on the roof both add to the sporty looks of the Golf Variant and extend the transport options. They provide a sturdy base for carrying larger items of cargo. You also have the option of practical carrier bars, which come supplied with a carrier bag and include anti-theft protection for security. A view from the top. And again to emphasize.. I love the colour of the seats! Wonderfully supple and sophisticated - the 'Vienna' leather upholstery and trim in the Golf Variant creates a true top-class ambience. Despite this, the materials remain hard-wearing and easy to clean. I truly enjoy the ride of this Golf Variant! It is spacious, has alot of thoughtful storage space and it has the power to speed! From 0-100 km/h.. it is just 9.5 seconds, with 125-hp. It has a 4-cylinder, TSI petrol engine with 16 valves, turbocharger. And wheels are front-driven. Even the rims are very nice.. If I have a family.. The looks of the car is really sporty..





Volkswagen has a huge problem with the 2005 new Jetta 2.5. Fortunately, it isn鈥檛 the 2005 new Jetta 2.5 that鈥檚 the problem. Not the car, I mean. The problem is the name. You should be. It would have been so much easier for VW to call this the 2006 Jetta. But you know those crazy Germans - anything to confuse the Americans. On the other hand, they make good cars, and the 2005 new Jetta 2.5 - the fifth-generation Jetta - is another in a line of sedans that should find favor here in the States. The Jetta itself is the European sedan engineered for American tastes, not surprising considering VW鈥檚 American sales depend heavily on the Jetta. The Jetta used to be cool, great ads, great car, a very Euro driving experience at an affordable price. The new Jetta seeks to recapture the cool that had been fading from its getting-long-in-the-tooth predecessor.
