CarExpert's Take
James Wong
Marketplace Editor
James Wong drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Segment-busting practicality
- Sharp pricing, well featured
- Mature European road manners
Misses
- Australia still gets old 1.4 TSI donk
- Aisin auto not as sharp as a DSG
- Most people will still choose an SUV
Anthony Crawford
Senior Road Tester
Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- It's the ultimate affordable sleeper with muscular straight-line performance
- Adaptive suspension makes this a delight on long hauls and quick through the corners
- Huge boot and loaded to the hilt with kit
Misses
- A more satisfying engine note would be nice
- Enjoying your Passat 206TSI R-Line comes at a cost at the bowser
- Get used to three-point turns
