2008 Volkswagen Passat

Refined midsize sedan. edited by New Car Test Drive

Summary

2008 Volkswagen Passat

The Volkswagen Passat is a sophisticated car with a high-quality cabin. It's roomy and comfortable. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine makes a good companion for the automatic transmission. The ride is smooth and comfortable and the chassis is well controlled at high speed. The available 4Motion all-wheel drive is an excellent option for bad weather. And the wagon makes for a highly practical car.

New Car Test Drive correspondent Greg N. Brown reported from Hamburg, Germany; with editor Mitch McCullough reporting from Los Angeles.
