Introducing the new Volkswagen Pat, a car that comes with a massage button - yes, you heard that right. This estate car, starting at £38,000, offers a touch of luxury with its top R-Line trim hitting £43,000, and a specific engine-equipped model at £47,000. The design screams sporty with Matrix LED headlights, 18-inch wheels, and a sleek front bumper. Inside, the revamped dash, alcantara effects, and a large infotainment screen give it a modern edge. Storage options are plentiful, including wireless charging and a panoramic glass roof for that extra touch of class. The rear space is roomy, with quality materials throughout, making it a practical yet stylish family car.

When it comes to driving, the Volkswagen Pat promises a relaxing experience, especially with the optional adaptive dampers for a smoother ride. However, the extended wheelbase has increased the turning circle to 12 meters, affecting maneuverability. Thick pillars create blind spots, but rear visibility is commendable. The automatic gearbox can be a bit jerky at low speeds, but the steering is light and brakes are smooth. Weighing in at 1.5 tons, the car offers a comfortable ride, with the plug-in hybrids adding a bit more weight for potential comfort trade-offs.

In conclusion, the Volkswagen Pat is a blend of luxury and practicality, offering a massage button, sporty design elements, and a spacious interior. The driving experience is described as relaxing, with some minor drawbacks such as increased turning circle and potential blind spots. Despite these issues, the car's weight contributes to a comfortable ride, with the option for adaptive dampers to enhance the driving experience further. Overall, the Pat presents itself as a versatile option for those seeking a mix of style, comfort, and functionality in a family car.
