2008 Passat performance review
The 2008 Volkswagen Passat is a luxury sedan with an attitude. Similar in appearance to the equally popular Volkswagen Jetta, the Passat captures the body of a full-size car with the brains of a sleeker, more sophisticated sports car. The Passat comes standard with Volkswagen's 5-year, 60,000-mile warranty, but new for 2008, the car also comes in four distinct models - the Passat GL, Passat GLS, Passat GLX, and Passat W8. Recent 2008 Volkswagen Passat performance reviews reveal that while each of these models is markedly different, each possesses the same balance of style and sensuousness that defines the Passat line. For any 2008 Volkswagen Passat info, or to check out our 2008 Passat pictures, keep your browser pointed right here, the best site on the internet for the 2008 Volkwagen Passat. Looking at our 2008 Volkswagen Passat performance review with an impartial eye, we are impressed with the Passat's excellent construction, safety, and performance. As our 2008 Passat performance review points out, at the heart of every Passat is its engine, and Volkswagen experts hail all three available engines in this year's group. First, the 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder inline V-5 that comes standard on the Passat GL and some Passat GLS models delivers 170 horsepower and 166 pounds- per-foot of torque. Next, the 2.8-liter, 6-cylinder inline V-5 that comes optional on other Passat GLS models and standard on the Passat GLX delivers 190 horsepower and 206 pounds-per-foot of torque. Finally, the 4.0-liter, 8-cylinder inline V-4 that comes standard on the turbo-charged Passat W8 delivers 270 horsepower and 273 pounds-per- foot of torque for performance that outdoes all of the cars in its class. Other standard features on the 2008 Volkswagen Passat include power-assisted rack and pinion steering, standard five-speed manual transmissions, front and rear gas shock absorbers, and power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes on all four wheels. The 2008 Volkswagen Passat is a fine-looking car, too. External features on this vehicle include a roof-mounted amplified flexible black-whip antenna, center mounted rear stop lamp, black grille with center logo, daytime running lamps, dual-tone horn, heatable driver and passenger side mirrors, heated windshield washer nozzles, and a standard power glass sunroof. Internal amenities aren't too shabby, either, including benefits such as CFC-free air conditioning, cruise control, electric rear window defroster, brake wear indicator, multi- function trip computer, luggage compartment light, automatic locking system, 120-watt audio system, chrome shift lever base plate, auxiliary power outlet, driver and front passenger comfort seats, and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat. The Jetta also comes optional with the HomeLink navigational system, and a leather multifunction steering wheel. More important than any of these features, however, is the Jetta and its safety record, which, quite honestly, speaks for itself. Volkswagen experts continue to name the Jetta one of the safest cars in its class, and with features such as side curtain airbags, anti-intrustion side door beams, front crush zones, LATCH child restraint tether anchoring hooks, and automatic tensioning retractors for front and rear passenger safety belts, it's no wonder.
