When Trade Winds Blow
Hard - Volkswagen Passat 1.8(A)
Volkswagen’s reputation has not been that of a
performance vehicle manufacturer until recently,
with the likes of the Golf GTI, Jetta TSI and
now the Passat 1.8 TSI. The new 1.8 Passat TSI
is raring to prove us wrong though, and we’d gladly
let it do so…

Performance: 160bhp, 250Nm, 0-100 9secs, 215km/h

In a Nut Shell

tonnes of space
