I was very happy with the CC until someone reversed into it in a petrol station, courtesy car was a new Passat and I hated giving it back, two weeks later I hated the CC and traded it, damn crap driver cost me fortune!

How strange, it's exactly the same as mine in terms of spec except it's got business edition wheels.

You happy with the car in terms of how it drives fuel efficiency?

GrumpyOldGamer

Yeah, yours will ride better in my opinion, the GT has 18s and is 15mm lower, it's a great looking car and motorway cruiser but it won't get you going on the twisty roads.

It's a comfy and quiet mile muncher though that driven correctly will get you over 60mpg.

I have my holding deposit on the Passat €500... should be collecting this week..

Well that was the plan until this morning

When we discovered the 3rd child be on the war Aug/Sept this year

Problem is already have 2 girls in car seats
Currently driving a Suzuki Grand Vitara XL7 5 seats

I’d be very surprised if you could fit a 3rd car seat in a Passat

Any thoughts on my dilemma
Thanks

Congratulations!
There's 3 X 3 point seatbelts and the middle seat is wider than many. I think there's only isofix on the 2 outer seats, so that might be rht issue.

Personally I am not convinced about the inherent safety of the back seats in 7 seaters and access is usually poor as well. Can you run to a bigger Volvo or similar?

Congrats.
