Subject: Passat vs 9-5


I owned a '97 Passat for 11 months and it was by far the most uncomfortable car I have ever driven. The car handled the turns like a champ and had good acceleration but the seats were AWFUL. I know most German cars have less than perfect seats but the Passats were a new level of discomfort. It was a GLX with all the extras. We traded it on a new V**** V70 and couldn't be happier. I don't think the Passat is a fair comparison to the 9-5. The 9-5 is technologically more advanced and the top of the line in both cars are in a different class. The 9-3 maybe a better comparison. Before anyone buys a Passat I would take a looooong ride and see how your lower back and shoulders feel before you plunk down $$$. Just my humble opinion.
