A very nice car. Cool/expensive thing about the Passats is that they don't handle like a bigger car, all due to the way the front suspension behaves. It works elegantly, until the balljoints fail, then it is very expensive. Each BJ is permanently installed in its' aluminum arm, which means it is very expensive when they fail. But since you are used to Benz's, you should be good. :-)
That V6 is a hog, but it doesn't suffer from the leaky 'crack-pipe' the VR6 does, so that is a small win.
