JTMav had a 97 Passat. The 98 is much different. I have a Volvo just like JT and I believe that it has the best seats in the world. I also have a new Passat. The seats are not as good as the Volvo, and maybe a little less comfortable than my old 900, but the rest of the car is far better. I am not saying that it is better than a 9-5 though; remeber that a 9-5 cost a lot more than a Passat. The Passat costs less than a 9-3! -Doug jtmav wrote: > I owned a '97 Passat for 11 months and it was by far the most uncomfortable > car I have ever driven.
