2004 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member266 The turbodiesel provides more than adequate power for merging onto freeways or climbing hills. The torque is such that there are no downshifts except on steep hills. The transmission can be manually shifted for optimum economy or performance. |

2003 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons A member in Minnesota, United States The limited production W8 is a dream to drive and incredibly smooth with nary a vibration coming from the engine bay. The 4Motion all wheel drive has kept the car planted firmly on the road and the Tiptronic 5 speed tranny is 1 gear short of perfect. |

2006 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States 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! |
