Why buy one?
The Passat does most things very well, and nothing badly. The cabin is huge, with plenty of space to stretch out even for those in the back seats.
For such a big car, the Passat is nimble and alert, but this liveliness doesn't come at the expense of a supple ride. This is a very comfortable car for long drives.
There's a broad range of engines to choose from, whether you're looking for speed, economy or a mixture of the two.
Why think twice?
Because of a used Volkswagen Passat's upmarket image, you'll pay a little more for one than you might most rivals. What's more, there's no hatchback version.
Really keen drivers will find a Ford Mondeo is more fun.
How safe?
You'll find plenty of airbags and electronic aids to keep you and yours from harm. Crash test experts at Euro NCAP gave the car a five-star rating.
What might go wrong?
Some owners report trouble with the dual-mass flywheel on the 2.0-litre diesel model, but for the most part a second-hand Volkswagen Passat should give mile after mile of reliable motoring.
What do the experts say?
'Overall the Passat is one of the best all-rounders on the family car market and owners are rewarded with a top quality product.' Parkers.co.uk
