Alot has been said bout these 3 cars in various threads. Each car winning various awards worldwide. Lets see what you guys (and gals) have to say when given a choice to buy either one.

When you choose, please use the following criteria as a guide:

1) Price
2) Specs & safety features
3) Engine and transmission
4) Fuel consumption
5) Exterior & interior design
6) Build quality
7) After sales service standards
8) Maintenance costs
9) Warranty
10) Resale value

Lets limit the fanboy comments please. Let this thread be a more mature technical discussion rather than a fanboy playground. So please do your homework before commenting.

Cheers!

only one i know is winning awards is ford mondeo

the rest are just ok

Ford Mondeo was launched much earlier. Anyway, the others have won awards too. Google it up.

the passat won awards for tech we don't get, the 508 won because it's an improvement on itself not beating rivals

You buying car or just want to see the market feedback?

French vs US vs GERMAN

obvious answer

demm, i was just about to open a new topic cos my dad wants to buy one among these three. i recommended him ford though. bigger, faster, and cheaper than passat. passat looks too dull.

then only setback for the mondeo is the odious rear design >.<

so which one will be the 1st to hit half price in 3years?

Well, Mondeo is not really a "US" car.

Mondeo is European, it is almost never being sold in the US.

Mondeo of course. Peugeot is still a problematic car and with Naza's rubbish back up service, you are better off with a Proton. Passat is abit pricey, but the weakest point is the dull design and a weak engine. Previous gen of Passat looked better and has a more premium feel.

Mondeo is fully engineered and designed in Europe to distance itself from Ford America - soft rubbish suspension with no steering feel.

dont complain on naza after sales service, obviously you know nothing about ford SDAC, and VW is not any better.

so in terms of ASS (after sales service), its a tie, none particularly better, but sdac is definitely at the bottom of 3.

SDAC mmg not capable. Especially when it comes to the newer Fords. They're probably used to servicing the ford rangers and the old focus and everything. but when it comes to the new ford with dual clutch technology and everything, they're pretty much clueless.

And which branch of SDAC is this?

Jalan Ipoh. others i dunno. but generally there have been lots of complaints regarding SDAC's capability to handle complicated problems such as gearbox, as highlighted by lots of Fiesta owners in the Fiesta club site.

Looking at performance, Mondeo FTW!

Agreed with you..

2.0L Ecoboost is just simply Awesome But there will be CKD Version of Passat.. maybe TS can wait longer?

For Passat, I think the price reflects the CKD version already. Just the early batch is CBU.

Get Accord & Camry if you dunwan to be caught in no resale value and expensive maintenance
