★★★★☆

written by csinclaire on 18/08/2010

I took on my Passat 2.0 TDI 170PS Sport DSG as a company car when joining a new firm. Wasn't initially happy because I had a Merc E220d auto at my last company and saw the Passat as a step backwards. Hoever, within a few days of ownership I had really fallen for the car. The performance is really good, and the DSG is far better than the Merc auto box. I like the auto hold hand brake option, which when combined with the DSG makes driving in traffic a doddle. I have three teenage kids and they fit in the back with ease. The boot is also big enough for all our stuff. I have done 32,000 miles in 12 months I have had the car and I can't fault the car from a driving point of view. The DSG enables you to breeze along smoothly in Drive mode or put it in to Sport mode and tear around using the paddle shift or gear stick to change manually. Great fun. From a service point of view VW have been excellent. Not had a single fault with the car. Unfotunatly my time with this car is coming to an end due to the age, picked a VW Tiguan to replace it.

How familiar? Next week I'll get a Passat 170 DSG in my new company. It will replace my own mercedes E220 T. I hope I will be as setified as you were. Why change to Tiguan, isn't it to small? I also have 3 kids by the way.
