I bought a Passat B7 to replace my Fabia Estate (outright).
I sort of wish we'd gone for a Superb if i'm honest, the space would have been useful.
Interesting, thanks. I thought they would fairly comparable as I assumed they are based on the same platform but maybe not?

They are based on the same PQ46 platform yep, but a lot of the VAG platforms are modular and can be tweaked - a superb is 100mm longer. The rear seat leg room is massive and the latest superb wagon has a 633L boot.
We have a 2014 Passat Alltrack, 2.0 TDI, DSG and some ridiculous amount of options we paid £11k for it. 8 think the boot is more like 600L, and we found the front passenger seat was a bit compromised with the rear facing baby seat we had.
15k might just get you into a B8 Passat which is bigger than the B7 internally but about the same outside.
My shortlist was Skoda Superb / Passat Alltrack or Volvo XC70
