  VW Passat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The current Passat was launched in 1996, and was significant in that it returned to Audi underpinnings, again using the classic "overhung" longitudinally mounted engine with front wheel drive.
The B5 Passat shared its platform with the Audi A4, though the latter was redesigned and received a new platform in 2002.
The new Passat was launched in some parts of Europe in the early part of 2005, shortly after its introduction in the Geneva Motor Show.

 CanadianDriver: Volkswagen Passat Wagon 4Motion
The Passat's front wheels are steered directly from their centre points, rather than at the end of lever arms like other front-drive cars.
The Passat includes standard frontal and side airbags - the latter are positioned in the front seats so that they move in relation to the passenger when the seat is moved.
Passats also have a collapsible steering column and an interior with recessed door handles and control switches, crushable sun visors, a foldable rear-view mirror, and an absence of sharp edges.

The Passat is capable due to the large and effective flaps to land in a smaller area but will soar quite well in moderate to light lift.
The Passat is perfect for sport thermal flying and with the proper motor system and radio gear it is possible to fly the Passat at a reasonable wingloading for moderate weather thermal flying or electric competition.
The thermaling ability of the Passat is excellent with a capability to stay up in moderate lift and still penetrate to find the far off field thermals.

 AMR Preview: 2006 VW Passat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The interior of the new Passat is gorgeous.
Here, I would put the Passat very close to the level of the Acura TL (when the Passat is dressed in wood), which I think has one of the best interiors for under $60k.
The Passat is now once again riding on the same MK platform as the Jetta and Golf (though stretched) which is now in its fifth generation, which means it is again using a transversely-mounted engine, and can use the "VR6" narrow-angle engine those cars make use of.

 Chip's Passat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
I think the window and window defogger switched are the same, and the height is the same, but the spare cutout in my Passat is for the seat heater option that I don't have.
Since the Jetta switch is smaller, I had to glue it to two bits of plastic from a Passat panel blank.
I thought about pushing the switch all the way to one side, but the depth at which the switches clip into the Passat is much shallower than the Jetta, and the switch travel (when you press the button) would be impeded.

 2004 Volkswagen Passat Sport review
However, on a recent run down to Cornwall which forced me onto the smaller, twistier roads, the Passat was no fun at all.
For those who think that the Passat is just a family car and shouldn't be fun to drive, I did the same route in the (then 110,000 mile) Focus last year and came back grinning.
I still like the Passat, but its weaknesses are very frustrating.
