Currently driving a 2016 VW Passat 2.0 TDI DSG and looking to move to a hybrid automatic.

Want something:
- reliable long term
- at least 2.0L or similar performance/torque
- comfortable for motorway driving
- decent on fuel
- not completely boring to drive

Budget is flexible depending on value.

I’ve looked at stuff like the Lexus CT200h, ES300h, Corolla hybrid, maybe even BMW/PHEV options, but not sure what’s actually good to own in the UK long term.

What would you recommend coming from a Passat diesel?

Cannot charge at home(rental property) phevs are out of the window
And id rather drive my shitty passat then buying Chinese hybrids

Hi all, flying from Gatwick in June with a 5am departure. Planning to use the Official Long Stay car park and need to be at the terminal by 3:30am.
I’ve read online that the shuttle runs 24/7 every 10–12 minutes, and that during off-peak hours (midnight to 5am) you need to press an intercom at the bus stop to request a pickup.
Just wanted to hear from anyone who’s actually done this at that kind of hour did the intercom work? How long did you wait? Was there any issue or did it all go smoothly?
Also arriving back at 11pm any issues with the shuttle on the return at that time of night?
Pre-booking in advance any tips on whether the official Gatwick site or a comparison site (Holiday Extras, APH etc.) gives better value for a 4-night stay?
Any help appreciated, thanks! 🙏
