    I feel like the Passat isn't a car you own, it's a more advanced bus ticket. I drove the 240 TDI a few years ago and nearly crashed because it had no steering feel, lots of understeer and hid its speed very well. No thanks, Peugeot or Mazda for me (didn't try the Ford)

    It would be interesting if the std. suspension is as bad as in the pre facelift models. Had a 2015 Passat B8 Vatiant for 3 months and got rid of it fast, since its standard suspension was way to hard and really noisy on rough surfaces, even with 17" tires...even my trusty old Golf 6 had a more comfy ride.

    Issue I have with the Macan is it picks up roadwork speed reduction but often doesn't pick up when limit ends... same with the Passat?

    • @MarekDrives

      There needs to be a sign that cancels the roadworks speed limit or sets a new limit.

      The question is, which generation/version of the system you have. It's possible to only have a camera reading signs or only information stored in the sat nav without a camera. I never noticed problems you mentioned.

      We have the 2.0 240ps diesel :-) optimized though, currently sitting at 300 ps, 600 nm. (Dq500's max torque is around 600, so we kept it there to be sure). Running 0-100 in about 5.5 seconds.. Variant.. so a sedan would be faster.
