That's interesting for me, I too have a 2 year old Passat CR TDi DSG that I bought from new and do 18k miles a year in.
My wife has a 116i on order and my plan is to do 6k of my miles in it and cut down the Passat's mileage to 12k a year.
My commute is early morning and early afternoon motorway and A roads and I average 50mpg in the Passat, bit more in summer, bit less in winter.
The cruise control in the Passat is one of it's best features in my opinion, the ability to preset speed then engage and jump in single units or in 5's etc is excellent. It's good to know the BMW's system is just as good if not better.
Ride was very important to my wife which is why we went with an SE with 16" non run flats but with sports seats and sports steering wheel etc. Yep it is a lot lower to get in and out of than the Passat but I'm sure she will be OK
Cheers
