The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2010-15) 4DR SALOON 1.8 TSI 160 EU5 SPORT 6SPD is a roomy, four-door family saloon, sitting in the UK's mainstream large-car class. It offers a traditional booted shape rather than a hatchback, with a smart, restrained appearance and useful space for passengers and luggage on everyday journeys. With a 1.8-litre turbo petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox, this Sport version balances performance with comfort, making it well suited to commuting, business trips and family use. Its composed ride and cabin make it an alternative to rivals such as the Ford Mondeo, while offering Volkswagen's upmarket feel. mycarcheck.com has recorded six checks, covering six different VINs, so this is a small snapshot rather than a full market picture.
