Was it not worth holding out for a 177 DSG Alltrack?
Been down to the garage today to finally make our mind up about the passat alltrack. It I think has been the hardest decision car wise I've had to make. 1 I didn't want to loose so much money on the gti 2 I fancied dsg which this car doesn't have. So today we went down and tried a cc with dsg my wife drove it because I'd already used it when I'd had the car serviced. It was only 6 mths old and it was at a good price. She also drove the alltrack. She enjoyed both initially picking the cc we both let our heads rule our hearts and went for the alltrack. We are picking it up Saturday then I'm going away for a week so when I get back I shall post some pics and let you know how I got on

Prefer the Alltrack to the cc by a mile. Look forward to seeing the pics:smiley: I'm about 80% decided about ordering the R this Nov, instead of next March. Still could change my mind though
it's been a nightmare booth all of my own doing (not wanting to let go of me gti) to be fair the cc is a really nice car but the alltrack is more practical and that is what we need. DSG would of been good but the wonga I wouldn't and couldn't part with + I financed a small part of the car to get the servicing package and the cheeky b------s put down as occupation retired I'm a stay at home dad You order your r when you feel the times right and enjoy. What a piece of kit Oh and I forgot to say I've joined the passat forum not as busy as this one but hoping it's just as informative. Now we're are my slippers

Nothing remotely 'retired' about being a stay at home dad (or mum). I went back to work to have a rest now gone back full time so the old man can start to ease off a bit. Enjoy the Passat forum but don't be a stranger charlie. Half the people on here don't have gti's anyway
I spend more time on here instead of uk passats. It's fine for those who buy a 200k mile B5, then spend a fortune on making it scrape on cats eyes and fit stupid wheels, but not much for grown ups that like a bit of tounge in cheek banter.
In all honesty, im tempted to trade my GTD in for a mk6 R and go ham on stage 3 mods. Bought my GTD for a commuter but I've ended up finding a job couple months ago 10 mins from home!
