Thanks for the review.

I had a Passat diesel about 10 years ago. At that time it was a 1.9 TDI. The same engine was available at 90 hp (Golf only), 100 hp, 115 hp, and 130 hp. The latter was known as the 'red badge' model of the Passat, since TDI was in red instead of black on the boot lid, and it used the same rating/configuration of the 1.9 TDI as the Audi A6 of the time.

So here we are 10 years later, and they are up to 140 hp. Driving comments sound pretty similar to the 2001 version. Mileage sounds very close as well. That that is in a smaller vehicle. I thought they would have come further.
