PERFORMANCE : RA > PASSAT. The stock 150 Hp engine in the Passat is not sufficient to keep up with the "torquey" 2.4L MIVEC engine in the RA. Also, the weight of the Passat is a disadvantage.

HANDLING : RA > PASSAT. The Ralliart suspension is designed to be "sporty", and the Passat suspension design is oriented on comfort.

COMFORT : PASSAT > RA. It's more than evident...!

OVERALL : hard to say...I choose the Ralliart over a used Passat because of the it's use. I'm young and searching for a "sport" drive, not a slow, heavy comfortable ride. For the same price, the Ralliart was the right product for me....!
