I was amused when I saw one of the statistics for my VW Passat B5.5 car, which stated as follows:

Kerb weight with driver - 1425kg

I know this is a very weird question and I hope its not too inappropriate to ask here on a "Maintenance & Repair" site.

How much does VW's driver weigh?

In other words, what is the actual kerb weight of the car?

Looking at this page, it shows the curb weight of a Volkswagen Passat B5.5 1.9 TDI 130 6sp to be 1342 kg. Subtracting this from your number, it comes up with 83 kg for your driver weight, or about 183 lbs for us 'Mericans ;-) This should be fairly close as long as it is the same spec as yours. It should be fairly close, though. I'd imagine there are some differences in curb weight between the automatic and standard versions, but it's not going to be that great of a difference. Besides, 83 kg seems like a fairly usable average for driver weight ... but that's getting into opinion realm.
