2000 Volkswagen Passat Tdi Sport review from UK and Ireland
"I'd buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag fault in steering wheel at 70,000miles.
Flat spot in power at 3000rpm, form 50,000 miles on - can't find a fault.
General comments?
Very comfortable well screwed together car.
Disappointed that flat spot in power band seems to be unfix-able by the garage.
Still a very economic car, 50 to 55mpg day in day out.
Big boot, but small opening. Difficult to get bulky items in and out despite there being plenty of room.
Tough paint work. 70,000 miles and very few stone chips on the front.
