Exterior
The Passat’s exterior didn’t really appeal to me, but it looked as unique as I believe a VW should. It was sporty without being small. I asked other people what they thought, and most found the Passat to be sharp- or cool-looking. The test model I drove included the Hi-Def Kit with fancy front and rear bumpers, side sills, a lip spoiler and a sport exhaust tip for added Passat pizzazz.
Overall, the Passat’s exterior proves that you can have a spacious, fuel-efficient sedan without giving up style and character. But I did have a problem with its four doors. I’m afraid I’m just getting to the point where a two-door car is actually more convenient because of my small kids. Getting everyone in through one portal seems easier to me than running around the car to make sure that everyone is in the car properly. Does anyone else see it my way?
