1998 Volkswagen Passat SE review from UK and Ireland
"Untouchable in its class"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing.
General comments?
The best car I have ever had. Probably the best car I have ever driven - it really does rival the lower range BMW's and Merc's.
Frankly, and I have had a few cars, the car is currently untouchable in its class (Mondeo, Vectra, 406 etc) and is now also becoming affordable second hand.
