I test drove an auto estate a few years back and the performance is deceptive. Not my favourite car but I did keep looking for one and still have an eBay search saved!

Missed out on an estate the same colour as this one, but black recaro interior and heated front and rear seats - was v low miles and a bit over budget but sold before I could get up to view it

It's noted somewhere that the gear change isn't right on that car so prepare to pay for the box to come out for a check

There's a few common issues with these that are similar to '8s - auto boxes can blow (or torque converter), engines can be problematic with sensors and timing

Electrics no more problematic than any other passat - convenience modules get wet, headlights a bit pants despite xenons

Specs can be light - lots of stuff was optional
