Blings:
- Powerful yet fuel efficient 2.0T engine
- More room than a Manhattan loft
- Smooth 6-speed manual transmission
- Terrific highway cruiser
Dings:
- Goofball keyless ignition system and e-brake
- No stereo controls on steering wheel
- Front end feels heavy with noticeable understeer
- Depending on options, pricing can get ridiculous
Ruling: In its base Turbo trim, the Passat is incredibly powerful and fuel efficient, and an outstanding overall value. But once you surpass the $30K threshold, all bets are off.
