    Volkswagen Passat 2016 FAQs

    Recommendations for a new station wagon

    You are choosing from a good line-up as all three of your contenders get The Tick from me. My personal ranking puts the Passat ahead of the Outback but there is no reason not to go ahead with the Subaru.

    Is the Passat troublesome?

    As it transpired, it was only a loose hose that affected the turbocharger on the Passat test car but it's the first time I've had a test car that needed to be trucked away. You can read the full report in this week's Tick.

    Passat, Liberty or Mazda 6?

    Until this week I would have said the Passat was fine but I've just run into a problem with a VW test car. I would now punt for the Liberty, which has just been updated and gets The Tick.
