    5 Stars Superb Saloon Car 16/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Engine, Great Body, Great Car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly soft suspension.

    Its with great regret that I prepare to say goodbye to my Passat 1.8T Sport. I chose it as a company car two years ago when my work required me to do endless long journeys, and it was perfect for that job. VW based the Passat on the same platform as the group's Audi A4 and A6. The A4 is slightly smaller than the Passat and the A6 slightly larger, but both are more expensive than the Passat. Some may prefer the Audi badge, but in terms of value for money, the VW is a clear winner. For me the 1.8T engine is the best feature of this car. The Passat version produces 150bhp, though the same engine ... more

    5 Stars Possibly the best family saloon? 06/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Suberb engine, strong build, refined ride

    Disadvantages Disadvantages costly servicing, low petrol consumption

    I've always had an input in choosing my parents cars since I was a kid. I was an avid topgear fan and read as many car magazines as I could get my hands on. But I did'nt help to choose this car and Iam glad I did'nt. I thought the passat was not unusual enough, too much like a rep car not a real individuals car. Maybe all of these are true but they don't matter when put against the sheer quality of the passat an understanding of the car only comes through owning and driving it and then you realise why so many people are driving passat's. This simply is one of the best cars if not the best car ... more

    4 Stars Passat 1.8t 20v Sport. 22/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Big boot, Good motorway cruise missile, suprised in how cheap parts are.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit thirsty, ride quality a bit soft. keep grouding on speed humps.

    I bought my passat second hand 3 years ago now, It had 110,000 miles on the clock and a full service history. i have never regretted buying it. What a lot of car for the money i paid! it came with Air Con, 4 Electric Windows, Electric Mirrors, Sports seats, Airbags all round, Alloys. This car was £18,000 Brand new! The first thing about this car is the size of it, their's plenty of leg room for rear passengers, and for front passengers. The boot space is huge, but not so good for large bulky items as the boot hatch is a bit on the narrow side. but you'll be amazed what you can get in it, i ... more

    5 Stars You have to drive this car 02/03/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Engine is FANTASTIC. You MUST drive it to believe it.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Drinks petrol like it's gone out of fashion. Bad Jack point for tyre change.

    I have for the past week had the pleasure of test driving this car. The engine on this thing is phenomenal. 150 bhp. The acceleration is awesome and the top speed at 137 mph is frightening. If you are weighing up having the 2.0 litre SE with a few extras or the 1.8T with no extras I would throughly recommend having no extras and getting a car that will make you smile every time you get in it. The only problem is that becasuse it is very difficult not to step on the throttle you may only get 300 miles out of a tank of petrol (62 litres) Good basic spec with the SE. Single CD, Centre Armrest ... more

    4 Stars passat 1.8t 20v love this car hate petrol prices 12/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fast, big, good looking list goes on.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages fuel consumption, rear suspension, seats, light steering.

    Why did I sell this car! I bought a passat because I needed a bigger car. I have always been into volkswagons so I know alot about the engines e.t.c. I started out by looking at the tdi to be sensible but saw a 1.8 20v on ebay which I payed £2200 for. My first suprise was how quick the car was, I knew it was 1.8 turbo but its a big car (bigger than some parking spaces). The fist few days i was driving it i was like a loony, how could a car this big go this fast. I then proceeded to take all my freinds out in it who were equally amazed. This car would give my golf gti a run for its money. After ... more

    5 Stars Subtle performer 26/07/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Solid, best bits of VW and Audi

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Drive can be bland at times

    I love this car. It's basically the best bits of Audi and VW, but at a VW price. I have the full leather seats in mine, which is why the price shown here is above RRP. The body is based on the same B5 platform as the Audi A4 and A6, and is sized mid-way between the two. The 1.8T engine can be found right across the Audi/VW/Seat/Skoda range, and boy does it go when you put your foot down! The AirCon (or should I say 'Climate Control') is VW, which is great, since the VW unit is better than the Audi equivalent! The drive is a funny mixture of boring and fun. It's great in a straight line (good ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the radio only has speakers in the front (thats all i can say honest)

    Hi i bought one and the first thing i noticed was the amount of room you can fit a family of five in there with luggage no problems at all. The car drives great with the steering feeling light and responsive and rides over holes in the british roads with no problem or discomfort. The sunroof is larger than most and the electric mirrors automatically fold in when the car is locked the mirrors are also heated which is handy for the cold winter mornings . The fuel tank holds roughly £60 of unleaded and i average between 440 miles and 500 depending on driving conditions . I must say that when in ... more

    5 Stars My first car, and more than satisfied. 16/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastic Engine, Build Quality, Comfort, Space.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overly Soft Suspension, Not as fun to drive as rivals (Mondeo)

    My car is a 2000 'W' Reg VW Passat 1.8T Sport Saloon in Dragon Green. This car is absolutely fantastic. I am 6ft 4 and have a really comfy driving position, also when i have my seat in position there is still a vast amount of space behind. The engine remarkable. This is my first car and i don't have any other experience driving other cars but one thing is for sure, the engine is extremely powerful. You get power right through the rev range, and you really feel the turbo kick in at 2,000 rpm. I get over 30mpg even when i thrash it so its quite economical as well. The interior is the best thing ... more

    5 Stars VW PASSAT 20V TURBO SPORT (2nd Hand Purchase) 12/01/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages BUILD QUALITY, RELIABILITY,VALUE FOR MONEY

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Near side lower ball joints don't last due to the state of our AMAZING ROADS

    BEST CAR THAT I HAVE OWNED I bought my VW Passat 20v Turbo Sport some 2 +years ago 2nd hand , the car was originally bought by a leasing company from new. Fully dealer serviced and looked after, the person that ordered it had all the usual extras fitted , so I benefited from their good taste without being out of pocket!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE! EXCELLENT ROAD HOLDING, but only with NEW REAR SHOCKS FITTED as they wear out gradually and you don't notice this until they are renewed. TURBO is constantly ON as is the AIR CON and so usually NEVER ANY PROBLEMS. Power steering is precise , I was ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of VW Passat 1.8T SE 20V by xboltonboy 01/01/2008
    ive had my passat 12 months now its on a w reg,to drive it is really good looks great at night when all interior lights are on ie,radio.clocks air con,its fast for a big car but have to agree the fuel consumption is very poor 20-25 round town,90 miles cost me about £23,on a run34-37,which is quite good, i would recomend one if you do not do a lot of miles a week,put for someone like me who does a lot of short journeys as im a window cleaner id stay well clear
