1996 Volkswagen Passat CL Tdi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Courtesy door switch.
General comments?
47 mpg from large heavy family estate, with reasonable performance (similar to 2 litre petrol).
Excellent long distance / motorway cruiser.
Suspension a bit wallowy, not a corners car.
Boot floor a bit high for an estate.
No glovebox because of airbag.
Standard air con, electric windows & mirrors nice.
