Handling and Ride

The Camry drives well, but is no match for the European handling and ride of the Passat. For taut turns and precision handling, the Volkswagen benefits from German engineering, even though it is constructed in the United States. One difference can be found in the choice of transmissions. The Passat offers an advance 6-speed Tiptronic automatic with Sport Mode that provides precise and unobtrusive shifts. The Camry transmission doesn't offer the same features. The Passat is nimble, due to its higher torque and 70 lb. weight advantage. Only the Passat offers premium wheels, rear air conditioning and a CD changer. The Volkswagen scored a 5-Star rating for the Overall Frontal Crash Test, vs a 4-Star rating for the Toyota.    

While the Passat and Camry are evenly matched in several ways, the Passat is the clear winner when it comes to value, size, performance and safety.
