Really nice. Handles very well. The owner kept on encouraging me to go faster and faster though the twists and turns, lol
It has a very nice engine note and lovely interior.
I looked a but of a dick though, it was the first time I used a push bottom handbrake which I couldn't find . . . 

exactly what i said about the W8 but nobody over on the other side would believe me  glad to have some comformation that the Passat DOES handle.

[Ssom]

So moving from a Longitudinal Torsen Diff set up ala the Audi A4 to a Transversely mounted hadlex AWD system ala the Golf is not a major change?


Never mind that the A5 platform is generally a better starting point than the B5 platform in the first place...
