Intresting tool...W8 passat!!! only ever seen one of them.  I know what your saying but i wonder if any one has test drove a R36?? they might not be as bad as you think. I think VW know they have dropped a bit of a clanger with this one like, bad timing with the alleged credit crunch etc, BUT i reckon maybe give it another year to lose the rest of what its going to depriciate and you,ll get a cracking car. low mileage etc as it seems at the minute no one  wants one
AND
dont forget petrol cheapest itsbeen fo 4 years  :grin:.

I drove one for a couple of days and did a couple of hundred miles. I have to say I LOVED it and would have been tempted except it was £32K with the options on it! :shocked:

It was fast, smooth, comfy, sounded good and returned 26mpg IIRC.

The problem with cars like these, though, is that they are too smooth and anything under 100mph feels like nothing, so your only fun is booting it off roundabouts. :laugh:
