Read a review of the VW Passat vs the Skoda Superb: www.autoexpress.co.uk The family car sector has come under fire in recent years, with buyers abandoning traditional saloons, hatchbacks and estates in favour of SUVs, MPVs and premium models. However, VW is keeping faith and has just launched a new version of its long-serving Passat, which is now entering its seventh generation. Bosses have been careful not to mess with the hugely successful Passat formula, so the newcomer doesn’t look much different to its five-year-old predecessor.

you are so stupid, the ford is better than a vw passat??? you should explore more the vw passat, the new ford mondeo is made in turkie, and vw passat is made in germany, i think is a big difference between this two cars, stupid gay ….

passat does not win…MONDEO wins! anyway, this is irrelevant…what it’s really true and I know it because I’m driving one, is that Ford Mondeo is an amazing car! absolutely amazing! Mondeo has the looks, has a great engine, great comfort…just feeling the difference!

Now all we need is a car that has VW image, Vauxhall’s interior and Ford’s practicality and driving dynamics. Hmmmm, If only . . .
[Translate]
@Schuluskus And that’s why Ford’s residuals are stronger than VW? Watch the video again and listen to Mat- VW has the stronger image overall so it goes beyond the car.

The Passat is a lot more refined than both the Mondeo and Insignia.
Bear in mind that both Ford and Vx inflate list prices i.e. you will work out of a Ford or Vx showroom paying quite a bit less than you would for an equivilent Passat.
VW don’t really negotiate prices.

@Zlyzer
I’m a Fordie, but I’d have to agree with you. Ford service is the same in NZ too. C’mon Ford provide the service to compliment your great new cars!

@derbigpr500 do you work for peugeot by any chance, it doesn’t matter if on paper they are better, it’s still french which means it will inevitably break..

@JELH I’d put it like that probably as well. I like the Insignia , its has the best interior of the 3 in this video, best engines, and feels like a more expensive car. Passat is just below average today. Mondeo is very cheaply built inside, and Mazda is typically japanese, drives good, looks good on outside, but interior is filled with plastic and designed in 10 mins.
[Translate]
@derbigpr500 Yeah! 
Lol! Now, seriously, in my opinion: Insignia > Passat > Mazda 6 > Mondeo (too expensive, the eco version is hopeless and the interior looks outdated).
[Translate]
@derbigpr500 And at the end, Peugeot has the best built interior, has great engines (developed together with bmw), best comfort/handling combination in class (feels like Audi A4, while being more comfortable and smooth), loads of room inside, loads of equipment….etc etc…its just feels like a far better car than almost anything in class. Passat literally looks like crap next to it, especially if we look at interiors. I think that 508 is a proper premium car to be compared with A4 and BMW3.

@derbigpr500 Ford Mondeo and Mazda 6 drive best, but they have pretty cheap interiors, Honda Accord drives pretty good, has great interior, but it has very little room inside and it has no turbo-charged engines to compete with other. Opel Insignia is very comfortable and quiet, has great engines and drives pretty good, but interior quality is not up there with the best. Citroen C5 is BY FAR the most quiet, comfortable and pleasant to drive, with great interior, but its not very sporty.
[Translate]
Currently in class:
- Peugoet 508
- Citroen C5
- Opel Insignia or Ford Mondeo
- Honda Accord
- Mazda 6
- VW Passat or Toyota Avensis
Passat is just too old to compete with any of newer cars in class, and Peugeot 508 and Citroen C5 are just too good to be beaten by any of the cars in class. They are by far the most comfortable, have by far the best interiors (especially 508), handle great (especially 508), have great engines, best equipment and overall feel like better cars than others.

@JELH Mazda 6 beats any of these? In terms of what? The quantity of cheap plastic inside?
[Translate]
Passat feels very cheep and old inside. Its the worst car of the three, and its the oldest.

i’d get the vw anyday – vw FTW
