• Has anyone driven the 1.4 TSi engined Passat?

  • I have the 1.8 TSi in my Beetle with 150bhp output. It's pretty sensible for power for me and my driving and it will hang with most things in the far lane on the motorway. I would imagine that the larger Passat with the smaller engine would not be the punchiest of vehicles.

  • No. But I've drive a diesel mk6 Passat a bit, and we have a mk6 Golf with a 1.4TSI. Both DSG.

    I think the 1.4TSI is really useful. Based on you car history Idk if it'll be sexy enough, but it's happy pulled a absolutely packed car up and down France with kids and holiday kit. And also a similar journey with a small PA system and tonnes of booze. If you put your foot down or put it in sport it goes fast enough.

    Imo the Passat drives incredibly similarly to the Golf. Shockingly so for such a large car.

    The one downside of the 1.4TSI is that irl it's not that economical. That could be how we drive and all the random shit we've always got in the boot.

    Basically it would absolutely be suitable for what you need. But Idk if it's what you'll want.
