    First the good things: great on space, reliable(not the DSG!), good mpg(average 42), comfortable, easy to live with, powerful engine.
    But that gearbox is the worst auto box I know. It is jerky and simply a pain to use in town, stop and go, traffic. What was VW thinking of? It has been send back to Germany once for repairs but is only little better now than before.
    So if you are thinking of buying a Passat diesel with DSG, don't!

After 12 months not a single warranty problem on any ...

    I have had several cars with automatic gears, sadly the DSG has/is the worse one I have had the misfortune to experience. In addition to the "jerking" problem, I now find that in sports mode the car will NOT change up to 6th gear! It's going back to the dealer again of course and if they ever cure the problem, I would be very happy with car. Sadly, I think they will have to refund my money, or exchange the vehicle, as after all this time I find it difficult to believe that a solution to my probl ...

    The Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI Sport DSG is an excellent family car and long distance work horse.
