Comfortable, loads of room, handle "well enough", plenty of cars came equipped with multifunction steering wheels and cruise control, loads of torque from the PD which run for miles and can run on cooking oil...

This isn't Japanese Public Transport, where they'll give you an excuse note to show at work if they make you late because _no one_ will believe you otherwise. That's how dependable and reliable Japan Public Transport is.

Google can’t be trusted for public transport timings, you need to use whatever the bus company’s app is.

Great video lads, keep up the good work 👍

B5.5 for the win! I recently upgraded to a Touareg but I sure miss my Passat. Great car.
