Well, welcome to the 21st century.
VW's Passat wagon is a stylish, refined and extremely enjoyable way to pack up a family of five with luggage.
Powered by the velvet-smooth, four-cylinder 2.0-litre FSI turbo, the Passat has all the legs necessary for long-distance travel and enough off-the-line punch to compete well in the city rat-race.
It also returns reasonable fuel economy.
For $44,990 (plus on-road costs) the Passat comes stacked with safety and comfort inclusions -- you have to respect a car that has an umbrella holder (complete with umbrella) built into the driver's door.
There is also the added prestige of
a European badge.
