Where are all the new Passats? - Imagos
I'm a proud driver (company wheels) of a new shape VW Passat (i'll give you my full opinions if you like).

My question is i seem to be alone around my town. Only seen 1 or 2 on the road in the last month and not around here so where are they all?

Are they not selling? if not why not?

It's a fine automobile..

I've seen a load of them - mostly in a pale blue.

I really like them but I think (and I'm not taking the mick now) that the boot's too short. If it were about 5 inches longer the whole car would looka whole lot nicer.

Cool rear indicators though!

Adam, take a look inside the boot if you can it is HUGE!!

Lol - I've no doubt over the capacity - mine's a lot bigger than it lets on. I just think the overall profile would be helped externally by the boot being stretched.

What spec is yours and what do you get with it?

I saw a gold one in High Wycombe today, i've seen a few but i keep mistaking it for the Phaeton though due to its similar front end design!

These cars are generally company cars. My company offers these alongside vectras, mondeos etc.

The Passat is more expensive (contribution to company) & most people opt for the Vectra.

Most people spending their own money would buy a beemer or something?
