I agree with Golf being the exception. I love my (mk7) GTI, and still smile when driving it--a year after buying.

Tried a (United States) Passat for about a week, and it felt like a waterbed on wheels :( not sure if it was "because rental" or if that's how they are; any owners care to comment??

That's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

The Passat wasn't meant to be sporty (except for the R36)
