    Volkswagen Passat Estate [auto]

    I have just bought a brand new passat estate 170bhp. I have been getting 60mpg solo and about 35mpg towing. A great tow car, i would of liked the auto but was advised against it for towing! Also head the auto box only lasts for 60k miles.

    Volkswagon Passat Estate 140bhp against 170bhp

    Thanks for all your info, I will probably go for 170 sport, not to bothered about cruise control. Still would like a DSG, but not heard to many good reviews. When did the common rail engines come out. Thanks

    Volkswagon Passat Estate 140bhp against 170bhp

    I am thinking of buying a different tow car, has anyone got any experience of towing with a Passat? I quite fancy a 170 Sport, but there are not many around! they are mainly the 140 version. Is their much difference in these two power outputs? My caravan has a MIRO of 1207kg and MTPLM of 1422kg...
