Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Much better to drive than the old model Passat, though I am not convinced that the 2.0 TDI is better than the old 140PS TDI.
What's it like to park?
Fine, though the sport version should have the reversing sensors as standard as the cheaper SE model does.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, but front tyres required replacing after 11,000 miles
What's most practical about your car?
Being an estate, I can bung all manner of dogs and rubbish in the boot.

The DSG auto box.
