2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon 2.0T
$14,995
Introduction
With its distinctly European styling and engineering, the Volkswagen Passat has become the car of choice for those bored with mainstream family sedans. Last year, Volkswagen fully redesigned the sedan, making it roomier, more powerful and packed with upscale features. Rear passenger room is especially generous, and the Passat’s 37.7 inches of rear legroom is about an inch more than what’s offered by many competitors.
he Passat’s interior boasts class-leading fit and finish, lending a more upscale feel to the cabin when compared to mainstream family sedans and wagons.
What’s New for 2007
The Wagon Version of the Passatt with the new body style debut’s this year. Other updates this year include the addition of a new adaptive cruise control system, an auxiliary input jack for the audio system, and minor standard feature adjustments.

Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
Plenty of standard features come with the car, such as 16-inch steel wheels, a tilt-telescoping steering wheel, leatherette upholstery, air-conditioning, a CD/MP3 player with an auxiliary input jack, cruise control, power windows and locks, keyless entry, power heated mirrors and a trip computer.
Powertrains and Performance
Base and 2.0T models come with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 rated for 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic (standard on the Wolfsburg). We clocked a sedan version running 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds. 3.6L cars can better that time by about a second.
Safety
Antilock disc brakes, traction control, stability control, a tire-pressure monitor, anti-whiplash front head restraints, front-seat side airbags and full-length head curtain airbags are all standard. Optional for all trims are rear-seat side airbags. In NHTSA crash tests, the 2007 Volkswagen Passat earned four (out of five) stars for its protection of front occupants in head-on collisions. Side-impact tests resulted in five stars for front passengers and four for those in the rear.
Interior Design and Special Features
Every VW Passat presents a comfortable and upscale cabin. Fit and finish is superb and there’s a feeling of precision to all the controls. Starting the car is a bit unusual but easier than the normal stick-the-key-in-and-twist drill. One simply inserts the “key” into an easily seen/accessed slot on the dash and pushes it to start the car.
Driving Impressions
A fully independent suspension along with an impressively rigid structure provides sportier handling than previous generations of the Passat. Factor in the powerful engines and the 2007 Volkswagen Passat makes for one of the most entertaining rides in the midsize segment.
