Compared to most compact and mid-size crossover sport-utility vehicles, the 2008 Volkswagen Passat Wagon has a better ride, a quieter interior, and superior fuel economy.
And although handling isn’t a strong suit for the Passat Wagon, it’s more responsive as well.
The closest competitor to the Passat Wagon is the Subaru Outback, which comes with standard all-wheel drive, whereas VW’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive system is only included on the top VR6 model of the Passat Wagon.
The Passat Wagon does have a better ride and more spacious backseat than the Outback, and its standard 2.0T engine is more powerful than the Outback’s 2.5-liter.
Other alternatives include the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi, which also has good versatility and zippy performance, and the Volvo V50, which has responsive handling but a somewhat noisier interior.
The V50 has an attractive interior design, while the 9-3 looks quite plain next to the Passat.
Both Swedish models are pricier than the Passat Wagon, which appears to be an especially strong deal for the base four-cylinder models.
