Volkswagen Passat R36 full review

This video (with summary below), is the full version of a review I used as an entry to a promotion to become an automotive journalist. It is as if the car was new... but it is a 2009 and I shot this in 2015. But still worth checking out if you are in the market for an R36

One morning, you wake up, and realise you are one suction cup short of a "Baby on Board" sign. It hits you. Perspectives must shift. Unfortunately, when my wife fell pregnant, there was no magic switch that flicked off my innate love of fast, great handling, sports cars. This lead to a conundrum; what car to buy now! Is it Tarago-time?
Enter Volkswagen’s Passat R36 wagon.
Shift perspective future and existing parents; family cars can be practical AND fun!

Powerful 220kw V6 engine with AWD stability and great handling; 5 Star NCAP safety, plenty of room both occupant and storage; FUN

Alcantara not the best seat material for messy children; thirsty for 98 Octane fuel; Awkward removal of rear cargo cover & barrier before folding seats flat
