2004 Volkswagen Passat Highline Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Huge boot, comfortable motorway cruiser, better get the diesel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leak through the pollen filter.
Heated seat has burnt a hole through the leather.
General comments?
Overall a practical large family estate, comfortable on the motorway. Passable on a country road, family would get sick anyway!!
Thirsty beast though. 25mpg is a bit too much to bear.
