A view into the price lists manifests the conclusion-finite Ranking: The BMW remains despite its horrenden surcharge organization the number one - it sets off too clearly in nearly all other disciplines from the competitors. The Mazda lands by its Dumpingpreis at the second place - although it uses at most. OPEL lands before VOLKSWAGEN on rank three - despite extra bonuses: The sympathetic Ruesselsheimer done beside the 250-km/h-Abriegelung also without the nerve-killing belt bleeper - and lies thereby at least in the anarchy valuation in front impossible to catch up. That is nevertheless which.

Ps, Passat with DSG and 4Motion

Yet another interesting group of cars that make a very interesting test!

The Mazda and Opel look very cheap on the inside.

Passat with quattro ?!
You mean 4motion, with Haldex diferential, not the latest Quattro with Torsen C.

4Motion

I driven ASTRA OPC, worst car I ever driven. I was suppose to try Vectra OPC but I didnt have time to try it but the salesperson told me it was a better car than AStra OPC, I hope he right. anyway, Astra OPC didnt have a nice interior either.

The Passat on the pic dont look good either (interior pic), looks cheap with alu.

Marcus, ever sat in that Mazda? I did and to be honest the looks, feel and quality of interior are quite good for Mazda...

Oh and Opel... Damn! They'll never make a decent interior... Never!:

Yes, I drove the Mazda 6 when it first came out. I thought about one for a brief moment. For some reason though the best version of the 6 appears to be cheaper looking if not actually cheap to the touch.

Well as you know Opel is part of GM and they're just behind when it comes to interiors.

That is a Passat Highline and the aluminium trim is real unlike the 3 series which is fake (painted plastic).

PS. Just_me it would be nice if you posted the link to the article too.

I was waiting on Yannis to say something about a VW being dissed.

lol, I dont like it, real alu or not. You attack faster than the great white shark
