    Very cheap no ? Clean up she'd look a very respectable car, I know the 2.2 is dead power wise and I'd assume thirsty enough been a heavy weight but looks a nice wafter

    Would def make a great cruiser (if it's not falling apart.. Ad says something about restoration?) but you don't strike me as the cruiser type

    At that money it's cheap enough to have some fun no I'm really a 36 man more so but it's quite cheap and looks fairly together. Nice ta waft around at times, this passat has calmed me an awful lot

    Its definitely worth that, even in parts but you could be buying bother for NCT purposes.

    Not to sluggish would be grand for cruising round in its 200kg heavier then your Is but has an extra 2 cylinders and 30bhp which make up for it the diff gearing is different and more laid back for motorway etc

    Mpg wise your probably looking at 26-28 city 35-37 motorway

    There no drift slag though but should shit all over the passat quality handling and driving wise iv had both theres no comparison for similar age cars

    Be warned though there very easy to be hooked on obviously a bad one will break your heart just like any other car mods are savage expensive if you want slippy diffs and stuff you wouldn't have much change from a 1k
