1998 Volkswagen Passat S review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, comfortable, classy car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New oil pump at 70000. Oil pressure was low at tick over. Fixed under warranty.
General comments?
Great car for space, comfort, performance, and distance travel.
Feels safe and handles really well.
Maybe a little soft on corners, but it's not designed as a sports car.
Loads of head and leg room in both the front and back.
Loads of boot space and with the folding rear seats, can accommodate some really big loads although the bulkhead can get in the way sometimes.
