The Volkswagen Passat was a car that i, at first, thought was going to be a car that was average at best. My first ride in the car completely changed my mind as it took off and got up to 60 km/h in about 2 seconds or less. The acceleration of the car was incredible and surprising. I never thought a car like this could perform like a corvette or Audi. The interior design makes you feel like you are in a real nice luxury car. The money was not an issue at all. Roughly $18,000 for this car brand new and it feels like it should be worth $40,000. A great car for travelling, very comfortable and relaxing.
