Year | Comment | |
2012 | Volkswagen's research must have found that Americans highly value rear legroom, because the Passat has an abundance of it. Unless you're an NBA center you'll have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of this sedan. see full Volkswagen Passat review |

2007 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 250-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed automated manual FWD |
Sedan feeling with 10-way power/heated seats blended with sports-car suspension and handling. A real glove box that is cooled by the A/C. Pockets on side doors are handy for storage. see full Volkswagen Eos review |
