Gave up my '99 Passat wagon (GLS) for '02 Linear wagon. I feel the Passat has only 2 advantages: better lumbar support and slightly more legroom in back and cargo room. Other than that-no comparison. handling in Saab is far superior (passat has skimpy 15" wheels and smallish tires) as is acceleration and just solid feel. The Saab is wider up front and feels like a true luxury car. My wife actually feels safe driving fast in the Saab. With incentives you should only pay around 31k for a 5speed Linear with premium. The Passat GLX is about the same price. I feel it is way too much. 4 wheel drive is expensive and over rated. The GLS should come in around 24K. Passat GLS is a great car-for the money, but it is no Saab 9-5.
