hi all,
newbie to this forum. have briefly browse around, its an excellent website with a bunch of helpful members i have to say.

i am currently looking for a sensible family car, i have around 1500 to spend, I want something as realiable possible, had a look in autotrader, i have noticed there are different versions for the passat and a bit confused.

im looking for 1997 onward models, so do they comes in 1.8 20v and 1.8t 20v? what other engines they came with? also, I am looking for something with as basic as possible to stay away as much problem as possible, put it otherway, which model has the less problem from you guys?

any opinions will be appreciated. thanks
