I have a Passat 1.8 20 V SE on an R plate its done 145k but drives like a car that has done much less as all VW's do if they are well looked after. 125bhp pulling that big lump is by no means quick but I enjoy it as a daily drive and gives me something to look forward to getting the Golf back off the wife at the weekend. Any how check these links out -

Well I've bought it now and luckily I know the car well (as its a family members) and has always had money spent when it ever needed anything, has full history and is very very tidy (and was used as my wedding car!)....
It's a 97 1.8 20v S (non turbo) but coming from an 8v gti it wont be so bad!! and all for £600

and hopefuly it will look like this soon!

I honestly need something a bit slower as driving round hairpins at 60-70mph with the misses driving is scary stuff!! She thinks the golf has the same performance as her driving instructors 1.0 corsa!!  :shocked:

and chuff....when's your mk3 arriving? you will turn soon too  :wink: :grin:

Good choice, my V5 is a great family car. Mine has 80K on the clock and came with full history. Had it for over a year and spent a little putting it right.

Welcome to the Passat B5.5 club! :D
