I have €33000 budget to buy new company car. I currently have a 151 VW Passat 1.6TDI Bluemotion Comfortline. I drive approx 45 - 50000 Kms per year and am at a bit of a loss as to what model to change to. I like the Passat but, since the model hasn’t changed, would be getting the same car with newer Reg. I have 2 teenage kids, so rear space, legroom and boot space are a high requirement. I’m looking for best bang for your buck. What would you recommend?
Our answer:
Hi Chris,
The thing is, it’s hard to beat the Passat in all of the areas you’re looking for. It’s a really good, well-rounded car. That said, there are some good alternatives. Have you considered a Skoda Superb? All of the mechanical strengths of the Passat, but with even more space in the back seats and a humungous boot. In fact, it’s hard to think of a more teen-friendly option. You could also look at the Mazda 6 (more stylish than the Passat, but not as roomy as the Skoda), or the Toyota Avensis (plain and simple, but very roomy and reliable).
