VW PASSAT 1.8T SPORT. 4/1781/150. 3060. 8.4. 20.8/15.0 34. 26/14. 110. 101/74. 2.8/11.0 470. Alfa . WITH A HOST OF TALENTED newcomers appearing on the larger-family-car-cum-repmobilescene, this was no time for the current four-year-old Passat to be sitting on itsw ell-deserved laurels. So it didn’t. Now there’s a new model – or at least a much made-over one – to square up to Mondeo, C5, Laguna II et al. It’s longer, stronger and boasts a new nose and a revised tail. Under the bonnet there’s a selection of no less than seven engines, three of them new. Our choice this time was the light-pressure turbocharged 1.8-litrepower unit that, as its 150bhp suggests, is the sporty choice within the range. But it’s not only entertainingly quick, it’s wonderfully refined with it. Whether you want a smooth thrust-in-the-back sprint to seventy, or just an amble along the lanes, it’s happy to oblige. Complementing it is an exemplary gearchange. If there’s a better power train out there, we’d love to meet it.
