I havnt left the sports wagon market behind completey, this is the new family taxi... My stagea made way for a GU patrol and just got this for the MRS and her old 34 is now the toy.

Its a 2008 VW Passat R36, has a 3.6ltr V6 with AWD and 6 speed DSG box. Basically the same size outside as the stagea but heaps more room inside. First euro car we have ever owned, keep finding new things it does.

It hasnt stopped raining the last few days so its a bit dirty in the pic.

I loved the whole stagea concept so when we saw these we jumped at it.

So for my own curiosity - what made you choose this over an M35?

Looks?

We wanted something newer with warranty and local back up. We live 2 and 1/2 hr's from Perth, and no one locally like's anything to do with imports unless you wana pay through the nose.

Also wanted something as safe as possible for the family, and these are 5 star safety.

Fair enough.

It's interesting going from jap to euro (I went Delica -> BMW -> Stagea). They put emphasis on different things...not necessarily better or worse...just different.

It looks great. enjoy! :D

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
