I have just been scanning through Autotrader for a replacement for my now deceased Vectra. I have noticed a few adds for Passats. Does anybody have any opinions or experience of Passats that they would like to share ?

Just swapped a 100bhp 2001 TDi for a 130bhp 2004 Highline TDi model. If you do go for one, make sure you get the more powerful engine - it makes a BIG difference.
Also if you're not going to get a brand new one, the highline models are the best value - they were the run outs of the older shape and as such come with all the optional extras - heated leather seats, upgraded stereo + speakers, alloys, traction control etc....
I've not had a problem with either of mine, but of course YMMV.And the lord said unto John; "come forth and receive eternal life." But John came fifth and won a toaster.Comment

Someone please help me out with this one. What is YMMV?
I'm guessing it ends in may vary?!?Comment
