2002 Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion review from UK and Ireland
"A stunning car and it's a Passat!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New rear nearside shock absorber fitted at 3200 miles.
Two annoying rattles in dashboard, yet to be fixed.
Awaiting fitting of new front nearside shock absorber.
Intermittent sound on TV, now rectified.
General comments?
Exhilarating performance!
Great to be different, only 300 to be imported to the UK.
Interior is well appointed, a feeling of comfort and security is felt.
Vast improvement in road holding over previous V6 Passat.
Fantastic value for money.
