Reviewed: 2006 Volkswagen Passat

4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

Why the 2006 Volkswagen Passat?

Powertrain performance

Acceleration, passing performance at any speed. Great auto tranny, Aisin is much better shifting than ZF in my old 2003. Six gears and Sport feature are a bonus!

Fuel economy

25+ mpg in town, 34+ mpg on road

Safety & braking

very nice braking, hauls car down at any speed.

Cargo capacity

Great trunk capacity

Handling

Great power steering.

Why Not the 2006 Volkswagen Passat?

Ride smoothness

Much inferior to my old 2003 Passat. Feel all the road irregularities.

Quietness

Lots of road noise

Exterior styling

Front end. Car is not as classic and clean as my old 2003 Passat.

Materials & workmanship

Not as nice as 2003 Passat. BIG concern is lack of decent fresh air from dash outlets and mediocre a/c system - takes forever to cool and never gets really cold even in NY state! again, 2003 was MUCH better in boyh areas.`Headliner is cheaper material.
