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.

"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..."
