    Hi, I have good deal on VW Passat 1.6L TDI.
    Drove it just a little bit, felt quite good. I was aiming at 2.0L to be honest as im not a thin person and prefer to have some power under feet. Is there a big difference in efficiency?
    The car itself is well speced, maybe just miss parking sensors. Any opinion ate appreciated.

    The 2.0 litre will have similar fuel economy if not a little higher due to the fact it will be under less stress shifting the Passat body around. It will also be quieter on motorway journeys due to the extra 6th gear (assuming you are looking at B6/B7 Passats).

    To be precise B7 2012. As far I remeber it was 6th speed gearbox. Maybe on friday I will have the opportunity to check it on motorway. Pn the road around dealership it felt nice but I didn't go faster than 40. At the same time I drove Mondeo 2.0L and it felt weaker plus the seats weren't as comfortable as in Passat.
