Driving this unique new Passat
So how does the following new Passat feel on the road? Well, it actually seems more like the previous Passat CC in its dynamics, with firm, secure street handling even in coziness mode. It has very little noise intruding the vacation cabin at speeds among 110-140km/h. The pickup, mid-range velocity and top rate feel almost like an ongoing Golf GTI but with some reservations due to its increased weight and larger hind end. In ‘sports’ mode, this engine works very well using the 6-speed DSG with no hesitation. You’ll be able to chase up to the more pricey competition from Indonesia (Audi A4, BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class) and keep up with the BMW all over corners and even far better the C-Class at times. Their ‘cousin’ the Audi A4 provides a few more bells in the arsenal but this Passat from below RM200k carries adequate equipment and push feel to sit side by side. All that is left will be badge snobbery.
