		The 2006 Volkswagen Passat has not only gone upscale in styling and appointment but also has advanced considerably in the chassis and engine departments--not that the previous generation was deficient.
		Handling is very good on the 2006 Volkswagen Passat, aided by the electromechanically assisted steering, which dispenses hydraulic fluid and sets the car up for inclusion of active steering and lane-departure systems in the future.
		Volkswagen's VR6 has always been an interesting engine from a technical standpoint, with compact packaging from a narrow 15-degree angle, and the new version improves upon the old in all ways.
