For the record my 04 HCH CVT came with Bridgestone B381s.
These are rated as the lowest rolling resistance of all tires.
I forgot the link.
It is a green website, but if you ask I may find it again.
I have no problem with these tires, but I drive gently.

Here you go Kenny.
As far as handling goes, the suspension's stiffness has a lot to do with it.
My suspension's are:
Bilstein TC's shock with Neuspeed Sport coils and a rear 28mm Neuspeed sway bar.
It's pretty stiff, but because of the Passat's long wheelbase (103.3"), it's also comfy.
I can make turns as fast as a Porsche's or a BMW's if I want to.
I would keep the tires and maybe try a rear sway bar, it could be the solution for the less $$$.
