Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- It's the ultimate affordable sleeper with muscular straight-line performance
- Adaptive suspension makes this a delight on long hauls and quick through the corners
- Huge boot and loaded to the hilt with kit
Misses
- A more satisfying engine note would be nice
- Enjoying your Passat 206TSI R-Line comes at a cost at the bowser
