Had Honda's, Nissan's and Toyota's in the past, but when I was looking to replace my old car, 2012 Passat TDI caught my eye. None of North American or Japanese come even close in comfort,fuel economy, workmanship,product finish, reliability and styling. Car is super comfortable, Fender stereo is a must for music lovers and lets not forget fuel economy. On my last trip i did 1300KM on 55l liters of diesel. Can anybody else give you that. Put it this way, I just hit 35000 KM and only did 33 visits to a gas station. I love the car and would buy one again.
