Well thats odd. Fueleconomy.gov gives the Passat a 1mpg edge. Both are 2l
though, same engine?
I prefer a manual trans in general. I've driven Ford's version of the DSG and
while I'm sure VW's is better its still just an automatic.
Not sure I need any more space in a car and I surely don't need a bigger loan.

If you go back, check out a Passat while you're there. It's a larger car,
but gets better MPG than the Jetta. Drive a DSG tranny also - you might
like it (I do).
No, the VW is not a Mercedes replacement - the quality just isn't there,
but still like mine and plan to keep it a long time.
Go to the Mercedes dealer first, then the prices at the VW dealer will look
like a bargain!!!
