I had a C reg Passat Estate with manual steering. Wasn't bad until I had to park in a tight spot. Managed good tough. Wish I had kept that old girl now. It was of the era that had a front end like an Audi 80 or a Scirroco. Took a beating too. Maybe i need to pick up another for a beater/hauler. Make a good second car. :) Best 100 quid I ever spent

I wish mine was a 16v. it was the old 1.6 with a carb on it. didn't go for anything but seemed to tow things around well and could load half the world in the boot. :)
