This year is the 40th anniversary of the Land Rover. But has the company done enough to update this once world-beating product? William Woollard looks at the Land Rover’s past achievements and examines its future. The Passat has never had a reputation as the most exciting of Volkswagen’s model range. There’s a more spacious and aerodynamic replacement, but is it much of an improvement? A Top Gear family tests the new car with Chris Goffey. And Sue Baker asks why manufacturers don’t do more for the driver that’s taller or shorter than average.
