Front-wheel and VW’s 4-Motion all-wheel drive are
Front-wheel and VW's 4-Motion all-wheel drive are also both available, with my tester including the front-wheel drive option.
The V6 Passat with its various options can exceed $35,000. But my Passat for the week was more than $10,000 less. And in nearly every category ? acceleration, steering and handling and comfort ? the Passat has a lot to offer for a fair price.
Most impressive is the combined effect of the Passat's steering and handling, acceleration and ride quality. The car just feels right on the road. It has quick (but not overpowering) acceleration at any speed, with the standard 0-60 mph test (with automatic transmission) reported at 7.4 seconds.
The Passat smoothly and confidently maneuvered through every driving scenario presented ? winding country roads to intense freeway traffic. Some major car review publications have cited wind rush from the windshield at high speeds, but that wasn't the case during my drive.
Volkswagen takes a straightforward approach with the Passat's interior.
