1999 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T sport estate review from UK and Ireland
"Blindingly quick and comfy estate car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing,This car just won't break down!
4 sets of tyres and 2 sets of brakes along with the usual servicing.
General comments?
If you need to shift a grandfather clock in a hurry then this is the car for you!!
Estate cars shouldn't be made to go this quick and this isn't even the top model in terms of engine size!! God only knows how quick the 4.0 W8 engined 4motion estates like!!
I've managed to see the speedo reach round to where the 14 has a zero on the end of it (on a track of course) and it still averages 30 M.P.G.
Very comfortable with all the toys inside and the cruise control is great on long journeys, Just sit back and devour the miles in comfort and safety.
Very comfortable.
