Very nice my wife has one - better after a remap though - excellent car for a family, plenty of space etc.
However, for power and MPG my golf TDI 150 is much better - i get 45mpg without even trying.

Cheers

Hi Bobby,

How are you mate?

What can you get out of them with a remap? Isnt your Golf remaped too?

Im thinking about getting one. The Golf was a option until I realised I needed more space.

I do alot of driving now because of work.

Everything good mate just busy with work and family. U?
Passat after a remap should be between 160 - 170hp but its the torque that makes these go.

My Golf has been remapped around 190 - 200hp i reckon - pulls like a train and I get 500 miles to the tank every week.

If you fancy a drive pm me

Cheers

My wife had one for the twins , we grew out of it tho and bought a new Galaxy .
the passat Estate sport went quite well but the suspension was so soft you had to be really careful with it , especially over speed bumps . the sport apparently has the stiffer suspension so god knows what a std one would be like .
