2007 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by tlbm.info

Powertrain performance

Smooth and powerful engine, quiet, plenty of low-end torque, and decent fuel economy

Cargo capacity

It is a station wagon that has more cargo capacity than many larger SUVs but without the fuel economy penalty of an SUV.

Handling

Firm, European handling.

Fuel economy

I can average 34 mpg and get 37 mpg on the highway in gentle driving, yet I have plenty of power on tap if I need it for passing, merging, etc.

Safety & braking

Excellent brakes, and stability control provide excellent active safety, plus all the usual passive safety features.

Price or payments

Price is higher than a comparable Japanese car like an Accord or Camry, although the Passat does pack way more features and the base Passat is much better equipped than the base Accord or Camry.
