We won't just copy other webistes hard earned content and we like to give credit where it's due, so rather than publish the complete Auto Express car review, we'll just show you a few extracts to tease you, and if you'd like to view the review in full, there's a link at the bottom of the article:

Auto Express Magazine says:

"The airy cabin has excellent fit and finish, with the textured plastics and silver centre console giving a quality feel. The driving position is excellent, with plenty of seat and steering adjustment, and the seats themselves are comfortable..."

"The Passat is not a particularly entertaining car to drive, but it's capable and comfortable. The suspension set-up gives an excellent ride and makes it comfortable on long journeys..."

"The VW appears more upmarket than every sector rival, and thanks to cues such as the chrome grille and circular LED rear lights taken from the firm's flagship Phaeton saloon, it's both stylish and distinctive..."

Volkswagen Passat Clarksons Times Review

VW Passat - Jeremy Clarkson Times Online Review

In our mission to bring you nothing but the best, most unbiased UK motoring press reports of the new VW Passat, we have below the latest writings from a certain Mr J Clarkson, courtesy of his Times column. Or at least some juicy extracts from Mr Clarksons scribblings anyway. We don't want to steal his work, so we're just printing a few snippets of Jeremys ramblings (and if you're familiar with these you'll know them to be articulate and funny but tell you very little about the actual car) and if you want to read his full review, then just follow the link at the bottom of the screen to the times website.

Jeremy Clarkson says:

"I must say that overall the Passat is a dreary and boring car. But it does have just enough attention to detail to make it a worthwhile buy for those who don’t care about cutting a dash..."

"If you thought the last Passat was dull to behold, you really ain’t seen nothing yet. This new one is sculptured ditchwater. It looks like it was styled by someone who was either in a big hurry to get the job done or who was having sex at the time..."

"Apparently the best configuration you can buy is the 140bhp 2 litre turbodiesel allied to the double clutch DSG flappy paddle gearbox. But really, choosing the best from a range like this is like choosing what sort of wallpaper paste you’d most like to eat..."

"You will also like the sun visors that work on the side windows and the windscreen at the same time, the air-conditioned glove box that prevents your Werther’s Originals from melting..."

What Car? Magazine Says:

"Volkswagen has a reputation for quality and the Passat mostly lives up to this. It looks appealing and the switchgear operates with a precise action..."

"The Passat is impressively composed and it's as adept on a demanding country road as it on a motorway cruise..."

"The Passat's 1.9 diesel engine is rough and noisy, but the 2.0 diesels are smooth and quiet. The four-cylinder petrol engines are easy on the ear unless they're worked hard, while the V6 howl of the R36 is lively..."
