I know the 2007 Passat 2.0L manual base model quite well. It's equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing around 85kW of power and approximately 160Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The body dimensions are about 4.77 meters in length, 1.82 meters in width, and 1.47 meters in height, with a wheelbase of 2.71 meters. The interior space is practical, and the trunk offers around 450 liters of capacity. The features are basic but sufficient, including manual air conditioning, fabric seats, and an AM/FM radio, without many electronic gadgets. For safety, it comes standard with dual airbags and an ABS anti-lock braking system. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, possibly higher in city driving. I've driven it a few times; the handling is stable, and the gear shifts are smooth, but the acceleration is somewhat weak, especially noticeable on uphill roads. Regarding reliability, with regular maintenance, there are few minor issues. Common problems include timing belt aging or minor electrical faults, which are inexpensive to fix. In the used car market, it's currently valued at 20,000 to 40,000 yuan. Overall, it's a sturdy family car.
I've driven this 2007 Passat 2.0 manual base model for several years and found it quite reliable. The 2.0L engine delivers around 115 horsepower, the manual transmission is easy to operate, and fuel consumption is well controlled - about 9L/100km in city driving and around 6.5L/100km on highways. The configuration isn't fancy, with manual AC that cools effectively, fabric seats that stay cool in summer and warm in winter, plus ABS and dual airbags for safety. Driving experience-wise, the chassis feels stable without floating in corners, though acceleration is slightly sluggish especially when fully loaded. Spacious interior accommodates three adults comfortably in the rear, with good luggage capacity. Maintenance-wise, I change oil every 5,000km with minor services costing around 200 RMB, encountering few mechanical issues though tires wear relatively fast. Overall, it's a cost-effective, practical choice for daily commuting or family use with low ownership costs.
