What he said, the Passat diesel, as much as I generally loathe VW products is a great vehicle, and not at all underpowered. The power is different, much shorter rev band and sweet spot, doesn't have the rush of power building to 7k like my I6 but you can spec a manual and look on fuelly.com- these things can touch/exceed 50mpg and crack 800 miles on a tank straight hwy. Are they fun to drive? Depends on your driving and what you consider fun, but if you do a lot of miles especially hwy miles they are very compelling.
