2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon 2.0 T Review

The autochannel has a review of the 2007 Passat Wagon. I think the only thing missing from the 2.0T in a passat is a little bit less cabin noise.

CONCLUSIONS: The Volkswagen Passat Wagon is a fine alternative to an SUV, and a fine alternative to the basic, boring family sedan.
