Solid build. Firm ride. Confidence-inspiring performance. These are descriptions that have been applied to German automobiles.Conventional styling. Lack of interior conveniences. These descriptions have also been attached to German vehicles.
Both sets of descriptions apply to the 1994 Volkswagen Passat GLX. Our test vehicle was somewhat boxy and didn't display the attention to interior detail that we would have liked. But it was a strong performer on the road, thanks to its responsive power plant, road-gripping handling, precise steering and effective braking. As a matter of fact, the latter two attributes were instrumental in saving us from a potentially dangerous accident during our test drive.
Our Passat GLX Wagon's MSRP base price was $23,500. We added an electronic four-speed automatic transmission and a Brilliant Black Clearcoat Metallic paint job that brought the MSRP to $24,940.
