Volkswagen Passat Saloon (00-05) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Latest Passat models build on their reputation for high standards of quality, and still rank among the best choices in this class. Revised rather than completely re-designed, to keep it ahead of rivals such as Mondeo. Changes to the bodywork include new lights both front and rear, a larger corporate grille and flashings of chrome, while there is the choice of excellent petrol and diesel units. This includes the satisfyingly swift TDI PD 130.

Buying used

A safe buy - it won't let you down, the interior should stay intact and the looks and badge image will stay in vogue long after others have faded.
