1992 Volkswagen Passat GL estate review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far.
General comments?
This is my second Passat estate. My previous Passat was one year older, but had served me well for 7 years and was a very reliable car.
I replaced it with this one which I had managed to find, with a genuinely low mileage. I am very fond of this car. I have just returned from a holiday in Europe where the car behaved faultlessly over several thousand miles, and transported myself my wife and three children in great comfort and with very good fuel economy c.39 m.p.g. (over a long distance).
It is a very stable and satisfying car to drive on the European motorways.
Moreover, the car itself is in very good condition considering its age. The bodywork is very solid, with very little evidence of rust.
I expect that it will continue to perform well for many years as borne out by my experience of my previous Passat (162,000 miles and going strong when I sold it). Friends of mine have had these cars with similar ages and mileages, with similar experience of their cars' reliability.
