Volkswagen Passat Variant 2.0 TDI Highline

No. We didn't queue up to give it a ride. But on the other hand: if you had to travel somewhere, this was your first and favorite choice. Because it's practical.

Practicality covers three areas. First, the trip: you sit, you go. No problem, it's not difficult, everything works. Second, the trunk: space! If you go on a trip, then at least in our case you take with you at least a suitcase and a bag with camera equipment. The automotive part of the editorial office did not end there until the trunk. And thirdly, the range: a thousand! When necessary, and several times it was necessary, we also rubbed it a thousand miles with no refueling in between. That's all.

Basically, this is exactly what we require from a car. It's not bad if it's at least a little neat next to it. It may sound funny, but we constantly say that the car can still be so good, and indeed, if the driver (and passengers) are freezing looking at it, especially inside, the trip is exhausting. It bites slowly, the person suffers, and the driving time is equal to the time of feeling unwell.

This Passat, still the legacy of Robert Leshnik, no I don't know how beautiful it is, we even hear the opposite statements in the extended edition; to be precise, even boring - even inside. Now we can conclude that inside the form of the previous generation, with some changes in functions and, above all, with the addition of interesting lights, Leshnik managed to make the most of the appearance, which he probably dared to do at the time - given the general

Volkswagen's policy of restraint in design. Inside, things seem to have moved on, which is a good thing. Even better, from an ergonomic point of view (and from the front seats) this Passat feels almost perfect, but certainly better than many more noble and expensive cars of the same size but in a higher price range. Okay, we've seen the key better too, but everything from the doorknob to the steering wheel, buttons, switches, levers, screens, and - most importantly at some point - places to store knick-knacks and drinks, is here, and everything works so it doesn't hinders, and therefore facilitates being in the car.

There are few such pictures left, as I said, and I dare to suggest that - if we consider only this - there is still no better one. Well, the exception is the clutch pedal travel, which we at Volkswagen found too long with manual transmissions for some time. It would be nice to read it in Wolfsburg.

Despite the fact that we tested it ex officio with all eyes, including the eyes of the family, it was mainly a business class car. So for shorter and longer trips for one, two, less often three people. City trips, of which there were at least a third, confirmed, for example, a rule that has probably been in effect since 1885: the shorter, the easier it is to get around the city.

It helps if you're a little more experienced, which is why we (again) found that we jumped a little easier with the Golf (our previous super test car of this brand), but we were not harmed with the Passat either. Even our service garage, where there is often paint on the corner wall, did not cause any problems. And this is partly true: if you enter and leave, you are probably stopped by some old Italian city.

The sign for the settlement turned out to be even simpler: thanks to the good steering wheel, which is one of the best, which is helped by electricity when cornering, thanks to good visibility and, above all, good work in the middle rev range, which allows a very dynamic driving up to the steepest overtaking. And, of course, the track at the end: more than half of the races took place there, mainly at high-speed mode, if you understand me.

This means that we did not try to be particularly frugal, except when it was reasonable and appropriate. The same engine performance and a very well calculated transmission (its gear ratios and differential) ensured fast driving even where there was no speed limit, so the engine did not need to be controlled even close to the red field on the rev counter. let alone finish. Some drivers of highly respected, expensive and fast cars will not remember us too much, but we understand: we would also find it a little tedious if we watched from a Porsche as some "ugly" van drove by.

Taking a look at our well-written supertest book reveals all sides of this Passat, good and bad. We can still try, but a damaged hood under the engine, a damaged windshield, a broken outside mirror, abrasions on the body and a damaged windshield seal on the rear door cannot be loaded either by the car (e.g. Wolfsburg) or by the service where we serviced it (i.e. Ljubljana).

We tried but couldn't find a good story. When asked who is to blame, we must raise our hand. The driver's seat heating also interrupted on thin ice, but it turned out that someone had stuck wires under the seat. We packed the case nicely with the very likely likelihood that someone was actually consistent in sucking.

As quite typical users who summed up their lifespan (or most of it) in just two years, we at some point found that some kind of sound was coming from somewhere in the chassis that did not work properly. The doctors shook their heads and replaced the front wheel hub bearings under warranty, but nothing.

What followed was a very good, albeit old lesson: Tires are to blame! The official doctors did not immediately find out (and then we will not know about it), but just then two things coincided: worn tires and the time of the season change. When we changed the tires the sound went away. If only we had heeded the hint of Sam Valant, who fell into the passenger seat and made the correct diagnosis without hesitation. In any case, apart from the fear that something more could go wrong, there were no serious consequences.

Least use of a parking device; it's the most highly anticipated thing that beep-beep-beep does to prevent an unscheduled plumber visit. Well, we bet on the Passat PDC, as it worked reliably for almost half the duration of the supertest, and from then until the end it was unreliable or did not work at all.

The notion of unreliability turned out to be the least popular: when we already thought that the system was working, we made a scratch. Even multiple services didn't help. In the end, we got to the point where it (more or less) worked, but it turned itself off, so we had to turn it on (manually) over and over again. An awkward word. Because of this, she was once picked up by the (inactive) director's limousine, and the driver, who had not been on the trip, was already thinking hard about a new job. Well, shortly before the end of the supertest, he was tamed at the service station on the advice of the plant.

The rather difficult working conditions once again confirmed the claims made so far that Volkswagen TDIs are not only loud (compared to their direct competitors), but also that they love to drink oil. At least on the first tenth of the way, I had to top up quite a few times. And also later, but much less often. However, everyday working conditions confirmed another conclusion - Volkswagen automatic air conditioners love to be serviced.

Front passengers are satisfied with the air conditioning after about an hour's drive, when the screen shows 18 degrees Celsius, but rear seat passengers then whistle in sweaters and jackets. Balance, so to speak, is not the best side of these air conditioners. Since most of the trips we made were with a maximum of two passengers, we noticed this less often. However, it is also true that this irritation is associated with external influences - in addition to air temperature, also with the speed of the car, lighting (sun) and the power of the sun's rays. It is also important that the Passat was dark blue.

The trade wind with the windshield washer turned out to be quite gluttonous, but this story has completely different reasons. Increasing the safe distance will probably save a liter, but in the end, nothing will be learned about it. However, this will be visible on the windshield, which may, but only possibly, remain intact. So, some lost pebble just found the Passat glass.

Among the unplanned "breakdowns" were burnt out light bulbs - only two, one shaded and one parked! In fact, it turned out that the side light did not burn out at all, but the wire contacts were weakened due to corrosion. The classic problems of a car that is on the road every day (even in winter - salt!). We also had an unpleasant experience when an oncoming driver drove straight into our lane - fortunately, we took it away only with a broken left mirror. Even today, we are grateful to the anonymous driver for not being able to "make it all the way." A few scratches on the bodywork, which were surprisingly few, were caused by other drivers while the Passat was parked in public parking lots.

We also admit the possibility that the flowerpot has rolled out of some other dimension. However, almost at the beginning, we broke the tire entirely through our fault. As an excuse, let's say this was due to some unknown stationary object on the road that we could not avoid.

For dessert, we saved a commentary on our consumption measurements. And here is the disappointment! We also expected significant fluctuations in fuel consumption depending on the time of year, driving style and type of road (urban, out of town, highway), but it turned out that we constantly revolve around the same numbers: from a good five to a good one. a good ten liters per 100 kilometers, but such extremes were observed only a few times.

In most cases (98 percent), the consumption ranges from 6, 3 to 100 liters per XNUMX kilometers? in winter, summer, in the city, outside the city, on the highway, at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the test. Only in the parking lot (and with the engine off) the license plate has changed significantly.

In short: on average, we were not very gentle, it is true, but not particularly rude. Once again, we have stabbed anyone in the chest who claims (and we know for sure they will after that) that the TDI consumes less than four gallons of gasoline per 100 miles. Yes, you can, but only with the help of tricks. Copperfield!

Despite all the good and bad, in the end we were very pleased with this Passat: we drove to the end (and a little longer) without serious breakdowns, and it was a little less than three months ahead of schedule! Whether anyone from the editorial office was also emotionally attached to him, we have no official information (although we suspect something), but we are sure that as buyers we would think about him very seriously; both from a business and family point of view.

Face to face

Dušan Lukšič: What I remember most about the super test Passat was that it was always at hand when we needed it. Long haul? Passat. Lots of junk? Passat. "Courier" around the city? Passat. And wherever he went, he did his job well. My first long drive with him was to the Geneva Motor Show last year.

The mechanism provided for switching the driver and passenger in the middle of the route. So nothing? I left the city driving only in Geneva (after one very short stop), fully rested. I was so rested that I felt that I could turn around and go back to Ljubljana. A big credit for this is the really comfortable, great seats that provide the right support for the spine, have enough lateral grip, and are firm enough that your back won't hurt even after hours of driving. And cruise control to rest both legs.

What did I miss? Automatic (or better DSG) transmission. Clutch movement is a definite comfort offering, and the engine isn't flexible enough to be completely lazy when shifting (for something like this, a car this big needs a bigger cylinder). First of all, it turned out that the service (somewhere up to two-thirds of the supertest) was not at the level of the car.

And only after several paragraphs of text appeared in the magazine, that we should know how to take care of the car and take better care of the client at the service station, things went uphill. Then the crickets we were pointing at disappeared. And also the parking assist system, which was a little annoying all the time during the supertest, they suddenly learned how to tame, and in the end it worked just as well as it did when it left the factory.

Is it a trade wind or not? If you want a van like that, then definitely yes. Reliability was at a fairly high level, the new Common Rail TDI engines, which replace turbodiesels with a pump-injector system (for example, the one in the Passat supertest), are much quieter and more refined (thus eliminating the last drawback that is worth mentioning) are so large and useful cars with such capabilities and (profitable) expense are also not very common.

City width: All my meetings with the supertest Passat were positive in all respects. As a family car for a family of four, where women are the majority, I was impressed by the amount of luggage space. Have I also taken the Passat several times for sports? with the rear seat down, there was enough room for a bike or three pairs of skis and the rest of the winter cover needed for fun on the snow. Likewise, I was impressed by the comfort of the driver and passengers in the front or rear seats.

After long trips, we never got out of the car tired or “broken”. The instrument panel is transparent, and all the controls and buttons are at your fingertips and in the right places. It is full of small drawers and storage spaces that can hide your phone or wallet from prying eyes. The car looks classic on the one hand, and modern on the other. Despite years on the market, it still attracts the eyes of passers-by. After several updates, it will probably excite rivals for a long time to come. I can only criticize a little the engine, which was not as responsive and peppy as I expected from it.

Fuel consumption in the Passat Supertest has always been solid, although it has been used by many drivers, each with its own driving dynamics. Looking at the Passat's rivals in its class, I can praise its large fuel tank, which makes it long, and you're not a frequent gas station visitor for moderate driving. Last but not least, if I had to choose between cars in this class, I would definitely choose the Passat. Mandatory for the variant, never for the sedan.

Vinko Kernc: Without hair on the tongue, I would dare to recommend it to anyone who would seriously consider it (and it is in this combination of body and engine), but I would never buy it. And it's not that it lacks anything, quite the opposite: if you subtract the annoyances, mostly related to maintenance (that is, I don't blame the car here), the Passat is a car that offers everything from a distance and offers everything well. . .

It rides nicely, sits well, the equipment is good, the ergonomics are excellent, the trunk too, and even decently neat. If I look at it after 100 kilometers, I always remember the headline in this magazine a decade and a half ago: Zivinche. But in an exclusively good sense, because this is not friction, it is not good, it is always available for cooperation, for work. After Primary School: Behavior? exemplary.

But this is where taste comes into play. If the car has serious flaws, you rely on these facts when choosing, and if everything is more or less good, you do not hesitate to include personal taste. While I argue that everything at Volkswagen is heading in a direction close to me, I still believe that this Passat is also devoid of emotional content. What do I know, or maybe both are incompatible, in the same way as winter and summer tires are not? Who knows. Fortunately, we humans are so different that there are more than golf clubs and trade winds on the roads.

However, I know that the adage “Never say never” is very human and very true: people change (read: age), supported by a suitable (price) proposal for such a Passat (ha, I mean a well-preserved, summer, with 20 mileage thousand miles, lighter in color, but not silver, with the Sportline package ...) will quickly take your emotions to some dark corner. ...

Petr Kavchich: It is always difficult to say something short, saying as much as possible in several sentences (well, at least I think so). About the Passat supertest, when I think about this communication time, I can write that it always amazed me with its impeccability. Never, but never really, was there a single thing that I could blame him for while I was spinning the wheel in it. Everything was "set up", it worked.

From the mechanics, the chassis, the gear lever to the steering wheel and of course the seat and everything else that surrounds you in a car like this. It also has a large, but not huge trunk that fits in what we wanted on family trips! Fortunately, the materials of the seats and upholstery are also durable enough (and washable) so that even two naughty children don't leave long-term consequences inside them. I would not verbally exaggerate driving performance, they are superfluous with such a coordinated chassis. But this great word says directly what I mean.

Yet Passat and I weren't close. The unusual (clumsy?) Combination of materials in the interior was striking all the time. I would be much more satisfied with, say, quite ordinary gray plastic than a cheap imitation, I don’t know which one (certainly not under a tree). But that's just a matter of my taste. In any case, I have never been particularly interested in luxury cars. However, this car is definitely the right combination if you can afford it and if you are one of those who need a big trunk or, for example, you do a lot of highway driving.

In fact, our test Passat ended up with no luck getting the same car, but with the word Bluemotion, which meant a few deciliters difference in average fuel consumption. If memory serves, the difference was about two liters. Bluemotion is also proof of how much progress they have made in just two years.

Matevj Hribar: In the editorial office, I take care of two-wheeled vehicles, which sometimes require driving more than 100 kilometers to check. Fortunately, Passat helped with this on several occasions. To ever dream of him sooner? I do not remember. Although my uncle has been working flawlessly for 13 years, and although I often hear good words about this car, it has never really attracted me much.

I perceived the super test van in the same way as BMW motorcycles years ago. Outstanding appearance, no sporty soul, a little skinny. ... But only until you have run a few miles, preferably a few hundred. Then you will see that this is a great product. Comfortable and well-adjustable seats, clear dashboard with all buttons in the right place, very good radio and sound system (no MP100 support or USB connection), highway stability, enough room for four passengers, non-slip cruise control. ...

All these are functions that help the driver not get tired after a long trip, and the passengers can snore calmly and comfortably. The fact that it is long is felt when it needs to be parked in a small parking space, that it is rather heavy, but with faster twisting movement. And I had the misfortune of refueling the engine twice. Otherwise, he convinced me. After a few years, I can think of a used one.

Alyosha Mrak: I won't explain that the Passat Variant is a good family car. It's like telling you that there are many trees in the forest. It makes sense with a large luggage compartment, a comfortable chassis, unpretentious handling, modest energy consumption and a fairly rich equipment. I'd just like to point out that there's a pinch of sportiness in the family uniform as well, though in terms of driving dynamics it falls short of the new Mondeo, Laguna and even the Mazda6. The years just bear fruit, and the Passat is gradually losing the advantages that were obvious when it was introduced three years ago.

I would put the seat first. He is quite tough, he has a good lateral grip and, above all, the ability to pamper both tall basketball players and small midgets. Few rivals allow for a stance so low that it gives a truly sporty look, although some drivers are exaggerating and can barely see between the steering wheel and the dash. The three-spoke steering wheel sits right in your hands and has switches. It's like building a Formula 1 Schumacher race car.

Joking aside, turning the sports steering wheel feels good under the front wheels, and no matter the weather or road conditions, this Passat will never take a thirsty person through the water. If we took care of the appropriate pedal distance (read about long clutch travel) or, following the example of BMW, introduced the accelerator pedal to the heel, Passat could easily get a high school grade for driving ergonomics. The gearbox is one of the slowest, the gear lever moves are mostly long, but pleases with the accuracy of all gears, including reverse.

Well, in the end, we come to the hidden trump card in sportsmanship. With every shift, you can hear the sound of a purge valve from under the hood, which releases excess air and protects the turbocharger. Restrained, unobtrusive, but distinct enough to hear the characteristic fjuuu that we once heard with raised hair on the legendary Lancia Deltas, which were much more generous in their sonic pampering. . Therefore, sometimes it is worth turning off the radio, even if the Passat "only" has a two-liter turbodiesel. Basically, the only thing that bothers me about the Passat is the build quality. If you're unlucky, like some of my acquaintances, you'll often be in the CRT, and if you're born under a happier star, it'll pamper you all over Europe like the supertest of us.

Average yield: It seems that we will write about the ST Passat in the same way, which is not bad at all for the overall impression of the product. When you get into a Volkswagen, you are usually not surprised by anything. Even when you look at him from the outside, is the impression the same? nothing shocking, just conservatism, which does not watery eyes, but does not make you kneel in front of the toilet. Inside, though: it sits well, space is plentiful, despite several years on the slide, the Passat's trunk is still an unattainable feature for the vast majority of competitors, which is still of great importance to true van users. Also, because of the size of the trunk, the Passat was so popular in the editorial office that it was easy to ride bicycles in it, it could fit all suitcases ...

I would not have thought of "wood" inserts on the dashboard, which do not remind me of real wood. The other one inside, I would not change, as the driver (and passengers? Only ventilation in the back seat is worse) feels good. The ride is easy, and the non-athlete Variant rides exemplary, instills courage and confidence.

Anxious? The 2.0 TDI already has a successor in the VAG group, so we can confidently say that the engine choice is enough (new TDI, but TSI ...) if you don't want to listen (especially in the morning) to a loud diesel that is a little in the lower rev range, sleepy and at about two thousandths it becomes so lively that I recommend a firm grip on the steering wheel. The case takes some practice to get used to the sound and effect. However, a good feature of such a motorized Passat was its low fuel consumption, which was repeatedly confirmed during tests.

I have made several longer trips myself and the average fuel consumption was about seven liters. Worthy of praise, given that my journey was not the least expensive. Oh yeah, those parking sensors on the test Passat often did not give the desired effect, since I did not work there. I don't remember having any problems with the ST, other than topping up oil a few times (VW's previous super test - a Golf V with the same engine - had the same hunger). Otherwise, if I needed such a big car, I could easily see it in my garage.

Matevž Koroshec: To be fair, I've wondered quite a few times over the past two years if this Passat might be supernatural. In our newsroom, believe me, he had a tough job, but nevertheless he did it well. When he came to us a good two years ago, he was still quite green. We (well, some of us at least) were proud of him. After all, she was drawn by a Slovene, and that matters. But the excitement in my head slowly subsides, and the Passat has become another super test car. Like everything so far.

So we didn't spare him, which means we tested him in almost every situation. Even in winter. I myself still remember a trip to the Dolomites last January, probably the only day when it snowed there. So that the path was not (too) boring, did you choose a new direction? I rode five dolomite passes, the last of which was the Passo Pordoi. Of course, I did not have snow chains, but I had a lot of good will, and just below the top I noticed that only two people were running through the pass without chains, a local resident with Transporter Syncro and myself. Even today, I maintain that the Passat is one of the best snow machines out there.

And also for everyday needs. The interior (Variant) is very practical, beautiful and with the Highline equipment package also comfortable (improved seats, multifunction steering wheel, drawers, two-way air conditioning, audio system ...). If anything bothered me, it was wooden decorative accessories that I would never have imagined combined with a dark interior (perhaps a light one), a poorly fitted and made ashtray cover that protrudes and spoils the appearance of the center console, rather than - the PDC and the electronic parking brake are functioning, which does not do its job automatically. Although it seems to me that at the very beginning she knew this (automatically gave up at startup).

At least in my opinion, everything else is commendable. This applies to the driver's workplace, ergonomics and comfort, as well as the chassis, road suspension, transmission and engine. If not, let's ask ourselves where else but Volkswagen could we find out what the right recipe for a good family car is. They just have to think about the consumption of engine oil.

The car is flawless

After the super test, we took the Passat Variant 2.0 TDI for a classic inspection to an authorized contractor. Since it is not yet that old, the law does not require this, but we still wanted to be convinced of the results. There were no surprises, Passat passed the inspection without any problems. The exhaust is in the "green" zone, the brakes (also in the parking lot) and shock absorbers are working properly, the headlights are on properly. Even when inspecting the chassis, everything was fine. The latest Car Flawless record tells us that the Passat is safe and technically flawless to drive even after a good 100 kilometers.

Power measurement

Also, at the end of the supertest, we took the car on graduated cylinders to RSR Motorsport (www.rsrmotorsport.com). While the meter showed slightly less power (97 kW at 1 3.810) at the beginning of the test than the factory promised, at the end of the test the measurement results were already approaching the promised figures. From the graphs of the last measurement, we can see that the power increased to 101 kW at 3 rpm and, as a result, the torque curve jumped slightly, peaking at 3.886 Nm at 333 rpm (previously 2.478 at 319 rpm).

mm

Perhaps the Avto magazine supertests in Slovenia are the best indicator of what a step cars have taken in the last 40 years. If in the first supertests we found excessive and uneven wear of mechanical parts, now the situation has changed to such an extent that wear is found only in the frames of the factory design and only in those parts where it is most pronounced - in the clutch. and brakes. Since our Passat driving to the end did not show the slightest sign of fatigue of any of the mechanical components, only the clutch and brake discs were finally checked. Measurement showed half wear. The front disc will be able to go at least another 50 km with the same driving rhythm, and the rear disc and clutch are at least another one of our super tests.
