I bought this car when it was already twelve years old with 194000 Kms on the clock,one previous owner.This was my first secondhand car since 1972 as I have had eight new cars in the interveining years due to my tax free status at the time. I have owned this car for the last four years and it now has 233000 Kms.It has sailed through the German TUV (mot)twice with no defects, apart from brake shoes the normal service costs. I am not a slow driver and I regulary cruise at 160 Kms per hour(100 mph)on the german autobahn although for short distances it gladly shoots to 200Kph +.What is astonishing is that it still feels new. The car rarely uses any oil between service intervals.
I am a company car driver and had one of these for 3 years (07-10) and 40k miles.I had a choice of a passat,Mondeo or a Renault Laguna.I personally…
Had this car for 90k from new. A 56 plate. In over 2,000,000 miles driven this one has broken down the most of any car I have had. DO NOT get a 2.0…
