The VW Passat badge goes right back to the 1970s but it really came of age with the the generation sold from 2000 to 2005 - a real quality act. The newer Passat sold from 2005 offers good value, especially compared with premium brands like Audi and BMW, while boasting more than a modicum of premium feel.

New Volkswagen Passat reviews

The Volkswagen Passat is a comfortable, easy-to-drive and spacious car, offered in saloon and estate forms. There's a wide range of Passats on offer, from a 1.4 TSI right up to the fire-breathing Passat R36. BlueMotion versions offer eco-friendly credentials. There's so much more of a feel-good factor to owning a Passat than a Ford Mondeo.

The current VW Passat was launched in 2005 and has been extremely popular. There's a wide choice of reasonably priced examples on the used market as a result. But you need to watch reliability - the Passat rather lets the side down in the owner satisfaction stakes.
