Bullet proof?
Go wrong every 10 seconds and be ignored/abused as much as possible by the dealers you mean, surely

Maybe he was referring to the ancient one that VBH slowly destroyed (ala Top Gear Toyota pickup) in the name of entertainment

The Passat has loads of space - old neighbour used to have a Citroen C5 estate and that had a huge capacity for junk

Honda Accord
Never thought I say it but diesel preferable to petrol.
Running one as a company beater at the moment.
Honda reliability...what more can I say?

Hey Gad, I've found the world's coolest big estate:

1979 Citroen CX 2400 TC Auto. RHD. 69K miles. Arctic white manual (sic) with havana hide interior. One of the few surviving rare series 1 chrome bumper models. Fresh MOT. Museum stored. Superb...
