Vehicle Highlights
Ranking as VW's biggest car, Passat was available as either a 4-door sedan or 4-door station wagon, in a single GL trim level. Power came from either a twin-cam, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard on the sedan, with 4-speed automatic optional. Wagons had the automatic as standard. Four-wheel disc brakes were standard on both body styles, while antilock braking was among the few options.
