VW Passat: Never mind the badge, feel the quality

Although we don't know what's wrong with a VW badge on a car, we agree with "Motoring" that you should feel the quality of a new VW Passat. Do yourself a favor: go to your VW dealer and make a test drive! You will not regret it.

In the looks and image department the old Passat was the car that always hung around in the kitchen at parties but the new car has added some sex appeal to the equation

The Passat's curvy lines and interestingly shaped headlights now convey a more interesting, outgoing image.

As before, one of the Passat's biggest selling points is space. There's an impressive supply of that and the large cabin will easily swallow four rugby players. Cavernous, too, is the 565-litre boot and even that can be expanded by folding the 60/40 split rear seats.

The Passat has emerged from potentially terminal dullness. Its new and striking styling has added a dash of rum and raisin to the vanilla ice-cream. It's still lower on the aspiration meter than other premium German brands but if you can look past the flash and consider the cash it will make a really good buy.
