Safety
Having fallen head over heels for the Passat because of its many features and how much fun it was to drive, I honestly never called into question its safety features. Somehow, the car seemed so prepared; I just knew it wouldn’t let me down in the safety arena.
In case you’re curious, the Passat includes an electronic stabilization program, anti-slip regulation, antilock brakes, all-season tires, front and side airbags for the driver and passenger, side curtain airbags in the front and backseat, height-adjustable seat belts, side impact bars, and automatic wipers and headlights to keep your hands on the wheel at all times. If all these features don’t satisfy your safety fancy, VW throws in 24-hour roadside assistance for the first four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. That’s right, no worries.
