WE had a Passat when I was a kid so I have something of a soft-spot for the model. My memories of it are fond and if you buy one of the latest ones I鈥檇 imagine a few years down the line you might feel the same. It鈥檚 not going to set your heart a flutter, but name me a VW that does. They are just very good at doing what they are designed for. Our BlueMotion car was powered by a 1.6 litre TDI engine mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. It鈥檚 not the biggest of powerplants, and admittedly you have to work it hard to get the best from it, but that said, it was more than powerful enough for my daily commute. THE BlueMotion is based on the entry level S-model, but the cabin does not feel bargain basement. It鈥檚 typically VW - pleasant, neat, tidy, without any unnecessary excitement.
The seats are comfortable, the views are good, in short there鈥檚 a lot to like and not a lot to moan about. STANDARD features include ABS, electronic brake-press distribution, keyless start, stop-start engine function, battery regeneration, hill hold function, multi-function trip computer, electronic parking brake, manual air conditioning, electric windows and electrically heated and adjustable door mirrors.

Our test car added parking sensors, Convenience pack including rain sensor, tyre pressure monitoring system, carpet mats, adaptive cruise control and voice activation. THE Passat feels a particularly spacious car. There should be no complaints if there鈥檚 four people onboard. Add a fifth and you might get a few quibbles from the person in the middle, but they should just appreciate the lift and keep quiet. The boot is large and incorporates a ski-hatch to allow bulky items to be carried, while still enabling you to carry passengers. The seats fold almost flat, but not quite. THE Passat BlueMotion is capable of returning more than 76mpg on the combined cycle. There鈥檚 three year/60,000 mile warranty, three years paint and 12 years鈥?body protection. In addition, you get a year鈥檚 Volkswagen Assistance. If installing an Android Car Stereo in your car, that would be great!
