With the feature packed VW Passat by your side, Mondays have more than just one colour.
I HATE MONDAY MORNINGS. MORE than the return to routine that the start of the week entails, it’s the ubiquity that Mondays bring back that especially haunt me. The ubiquity of the working week; driving to and from work and being stuck in endless traffic jams can be exhausting and, frankly, gloomy. You feel like one among the crowd of bored-out-of-their-minds office goers. One fine Monday however, the Volkswagen Passat came forward to rescue miserable me.
Much to my dismay an early start with the Passat was planned and I left the comforts of my house at 7am. Immediately obvious was the fact that the Passat is dressed to impress. The muscular tightly pinched lines all over the Passat help accentuate its well-balanced proportions. The shade of metallic blue on the one I was driving around elevated it to another level. The elegant design holds its own and is quite handsome to look at with its LED headlamps and tail lamps easily recognisable even at a distance – plus it does not age quickly like other flashy designs. The Passat has the classic charm of a gentleman in a well-tailored suit and that is something that never gets old.
