B L would buy this car again because: "It's a great all rounder, and back to the original question of whether it does what I want it to, for pretty much any reasonable purpose, that's an affirmative."

R A purchased this Volkswagen Passat used for $42,000 (including all on-road costs) in 2020. R A would buy this car again because: "The Passat Alltrack offers almost unparalleled practicality in a reasonable sized package while providing great levels of overall comfort. The extra ride height is reassuring on getaways when rutted dirt tracks are an eventuality. At the same time, the Alltrack still handles better than pseudo SUVs like VW's on Tiguan. For these reasons, it really is an underrated value proposition in the market. "
