1998 Volkswagen Passat Sport Estate review from UK and Ireland
"A well sorted car with great detailing and flashes of absolute brilliance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trim around central console became detached.
Power steering developed at fluid leak.
General comments?
Great car. Best I've ever owned. You can drive at high speed for hour after hour in superb comfort and it has a very reassuring solidity about it.
It tends to look nicer in lightish metallic colours and my Futura Yellow is very distinctive. Gives what otherwise might be seen as a middle aged man's car a bit of street cred.
It's running cost in terms of fuel consumption is nothing short of astonishing.
