Just My unusual Passat

Volkswagen, 1997, Passat Passat 2.3 VR5

STORY PHOTOS

My car is Volkswagen Passat 1996 model, I purchased in 1997. That moment it was the most popular and generallly recognised car for its reliability and price. I took it used, just with 20 000 mileage, I'd say I took a car with break in, quite new at all.

My car has 2.3 rare engine type V5 cylinders with 150 h/p, supercharger, so rare for gasoline VW models. The dynamics is well for me though can not be compared to BMW, that's foir sure. I don't need any fast cool BMW as Passat is the right car for me and my lifestyle.

Any rasonable person can understand its advantahges. They are cheap maintenance, high reliability and durability combined with essential comfort and safety level.

I own my car for 8 years and you can say it is old but nothing like this! I cater it properly and even now it looks like 3-4 years old only. I don't think my car story is so captivating but is nt the point, I just wanted to tell you about my car. That's it done!

I like the way your cool car is designed, yet its technical characteristics aren't that impressive.

It's definitely not a new cool car, but I still adore its fair characteristics.

I can say your car is an average middle class, yet with some unique characteristics. 5-cylinder 2.3-liter? I guess it's quite an economical car!
