Volkswagen-Passat: feedback from owners about the fifth generation of legendary German cars

The fifth generation of the famous German car"Volkswagen-Passat" was developed in 1996. This novelty has become one more step in the history of development of the concern Volkswagen. Immediately after the appearance on the world market, the fifth generation of "Passat" gained such popularity, which the German developers themselves did not even dream about. The secret of the success of the model was the following: the novelty could be sold in two body styles (station wagon and sedan), had a wide variety of engines, a high level of assembly, and also had a wide range of colors. And now let's talk about everything in order.

Volkswagen-Passat: owner feedback and review of the exterior

In the design, the novelty did not differ in any wayrevolutionary appearance, but at the same time the exterior contained the classic features of efficiency and accentuated accuracy, which gave hope for expanding the range of buyers.

In 2001, the German company presentedpublic restyled version of the car "Volkswagen-Passat". Reviews of owners about the updated sedan noted the presence of smoother and more modern lines of the body, which made the car more elegant. In front of the car decorated a new radiator grille, headlights of the main light and a modified bumper. Behind, too, everything was not bad - triangular stop lamps together with a massive shock bumper give the car a serious look. It should be noted that this restyling went to the novelty for good, and the German concern has something to be proud of (although up to this time the company invented more than a dozen models that had the same popularity as the fifth Volkswagen Passat).

Photo and interior review

Inside restyling also left its traces,In spite of the fact that engineers did not deliberately intend to do any global changes. There were good reasons for this. First, the interior of the car was originally designed to perfection in terms of ergonomics of the control elements. Secondly, the layout of the seats did not cause any complaints from the owners.

Now very few people remember this, but in those yearsmany manufacturers (even with a world name) often saved on the development of seats for the driver and passengers. The situation changed with the arrival of the fifth generation of the Volkswagen Passat. The owners' comments noted the comfort of the seats, which consisted of thoughtful side support rollers and eight adjustments to the seatback and headrests. Changes in 2001 consisted only of finishing materials and ... in general, everything. However, what is the point of changing the salon, if it is already functional and ergonomic?
