1998 Volkswagen Passat SE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear near side passenger door lock has been replaced twice, and the air conditioning needed a major overhaul after it poured a gallon of water into the passenger footwell.
General comments?
A super car, extremely comfortable, very economical and of tremendous build quality. The only rattle inside comes from the radio - the only thing I changed from standard VW issue. The car is coming to its first birthday, and has notched up 25,000 miles. In that time, it has averaged 53mpg - my figures, not from the onboard computer.
