All I can say is that the Passat wagon is great. I've got a '99 B5 (Passat with a 1.8T engine, 5spd, leather) for the past 8 years. 246K.
She's great. Two kid seats, a weekend of crap in the footwells and a German Shepard in the back, and we roll.
It takes a canoe easily, pods fit well (no overhanging front or back), and its fast for a 14 year old car...I am sure that the '08 is great too, as they kept the same relative engine format, widened the bore to 2.0, but have kept that block on a lot of VAG group cars for years.
you know nothing is gonna break for those 2years/24K.
repairs on that passat are expensive (Timing belt, not chain, control arms, expensive engine sensors, etc)
