2000 Volkswagen Passat SE review from UK and Ireland
"Solid, reliable and economical yet still fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Inter-cooler broke at about 100,000 due to slight front impact. This being due to the aforementioned part being placed right behind front bumper!!
Air Mass Meter (controls turbo air flow) broke around 105,000.
General comments?
Survived very well, having been driven up and down britain's bumpy motorways for 3 years.
Great Performance considering up to 50mpg.
Cabin is comfy and well built, if slightly uninspiring.
