Azera has 106.9 cu. ft. for passengers and 17 in the trunk. The 2006 Passat has 96 for passengers and 14.2 in the trunk. I think the 2002 had 95 cu. ft. for passengers. That makes the Passat about as roomy for passengers as an Elantra.

Replying to: bjbird2 (Dec 06, 2005 2:20 pm) That makes the Passat as roomy for passengers as an Elantra. The Passat 3.6 L is nearly as heavy as the Azera. The VW is only 53 pounds lighter than the Azera Limited. |

The difference between the 2 isn't as much as some people want you to think. Granted, the Azera is a bigger car, but not to the point where you can call the Passat small. After checking a few other models that are in the same class ?? the Azera is bigger in some measurements, close in others, and smaller in a few. Believe me when I tell you the Passat isn't a small car. I'm a big guy, and I feel comfortable in the Passat. I test drove the Acura TL, and even though it's a beautiful car, it's tight inside. Same with the Maxima. I don't think you can really call any of these cars small, but in my case, the Passat feels good. Add in 20 more HP, and 10 pounds more torque, plus an extra gear, and quite a few more options, and we have a nice car. Once again, my opinion.

Replying to: bjbird2 (Dec 06, 2005 8:59 pm) C'mon, who are you trying to fool? You are only fooling yourself! Sizewise, compare the Passat to the little Elantra. Your numbers should be a lot closer. Except the trunk. |

Replying to: njerald (Dec 07, 2005 4:10 pm) The Elantra is a pretty small car even though the EPA calls it a midsized car.

Replying to: averigejoe (Dec 07, 2005 4:17 pm) Some people aren't interested in the roominess but are after other attributes.

Replying to: njerald (Dec 07, 2005 7:46 pm) I can honestly say it's been the best ALL AROUND car of the 30+ cars that I've owned. |
