Volkswagen Passat
The nicest improvement in the 2010 Passat is the addition of the DSG transmission, which assists the 2.0TSI four-cylinder engine. The Wagon version doesn’t get it since it is powered by a V6 engine and all-wheel drive system. And for a year now, a third model enhances the series: the four-door CC coupe. The three come standard with rear airbags, the suspension is sportier for the Highline variant, and more communications tools are included in the Comfortline variant.
