I had a really good test drive of the passatt cc. same engine and gearbox as the R36. The performance wasnt overwhelming, but this is expected coming from a worked rex. great interior, fantastic seats, and for the money, much better value than the other euro's.

so your wife is going to ding it in the carpark, multiple times, and bingle the door by parking too close to

someone at the mall, and your kids will kick the seat backs and fill everything with food

fluids and god knows what?

if your family is anything like mine

which is why what I want (RS4 wagon, R36 wagon, etc) isn't what I will allow myself to own!!

hahaha thats 100% right!!!! moneypit my family is like yours!!!!

pasts car she has done well, no dings surprisingly. But slight marks on bumpers here n there.

Lifes short my friend, if you can enjoy now do it. So we wont have the mid life crisis later hahahah, so go get that RS4

Infact we Also test drove a B7 RS4 demo, very impressive. Test drove B8 RS6, but they were just too expensive for us to buy. we werent preparing to go over 100k

just to let u know... u may have a few probs with the DSG.. i work for a dealer.. we are always fixing them on all the new cars!!

On the other hand, I've owned my DSG VW for over a year now and not one problem with the box.

Best choice I've made regarding cars.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
