Used Volkswagen Passat

The Passat is now estate-only, and honestly that suits it perfectly. It is the archetypal long-distance workhorse: vast, comfortable, efficient and utterly unflustered by big miles, with a plug-in hybrid option that makes real sense for company drivers. It is deeply unglamorous and completely brilliant at its job. Buy it if you rack up motorway miles and want space and calm above all else.
