Passat, boring yes. But I would definitely prefer the VW turbo engine to what saab is currently offering in their base model. Makes you wonder who has the turbo heritage. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was VW based upon a few drives of their 20 valve four cylinder turbo Jetta. It just pulls. The VR6 is even better. Don't like the looks of the VW vs. the new 9-3 (exterior), but it sure does drive darn nice compared to the base 9-3 sport sedan and the interior is more conservative. By that I mean it doesn't seem like it's trying too hard. The shifting is also more precise in the VW. I'm a saab owner, and I'm also ready for a new car but haven't made any decisions yet. I know I won't buy a VW jetta, but only because it doesn't look nearly as expensive as it is.
