Good Points

Economical, Got power when needed, Comfortable. VW seem to have sorted electrical problems and air flow meter problems which blighted the earlier models


Bad Points

Front suspenision arms can still be a problem with the 2001 model.


General Comments

Previously had a 1998 110 TDI, Changed to a 2001 130 Volkswagen Passat TDI sport. The 130 has a lot more power but I find that its doing around 44 mph compared to the 110 which did about 54 mpg. Although the 130 handles like a dream I don't think it is as comfortable as the 110. VW seem to have re-positioned the central arm rest and the driving position seems to be a bit lower, The 6-speed gear box is probably an advantage on motorways but most of my journeys are up country roads.
