Thinking about an Eos...

I had a 330d for a few weeks and man that thing goes

I assume a 123d would give the passat a good run! Good luck keeping up with your wife!

I reckon it'll probably be quicker in real use than the Passat. Officially it's 7s 0-100, the Passat is early 6s without launch control. But in gear the 400NM of torque in a car that's about 250kg lighter will make a difference. Nice 50/50 weight distribution, RWD, and yes unless it's wet I reckon she'll be quicker than me both in a straight line and around corners. Having said that, she is quite a sedate driver...
