2001 Volkswagen Passat Highline Black Label review from Netherlands
General comments?
Love it, at the time I purchased it to get transportation for a few months, however the car turned out to be so good and reliable that I will see the half a million kilometer mark.
With a lub oil consumption of 1 liter per 25000 kilometer, long service intervals and nothing going wrong with the electronics.
A very reliable tool.
The only disappointing thing about the car is its handling, it has absolutely no French or Italian roadholding!
Love the heated seats, the cruise control, and the fuel consumption of 5.8 liters per 100 kilometers.
