Buying a used petrol Passat CC - any good?

I am thinking of buying a used Passat CC, petrol and manual as we only do 4/5000 miles a year, so we would have DPF problems with a diesel version.

Also at 70/80 mph motorway driving how much higher are the revs in petrol Passat?

It will be geared at between 25mph and 30mph per 1,000rpm in 6th. The chain cam 2.0TFSI is the best engine, but the 1.8TFSI isn't bad. Don't go for a 1.4TFSI Twincharger.

Very good looking, stylish alternative to the standard Passat. Coupe looks with plenty of rear passenger space. Quality improvements.
