re: #676 albusteve

so do I, but I won’t spend that kind of money on one…my new car buying days are behind me…I’d love to have an 06-08 Passat…and I will…I now all kinds of pure performance people…I know all about speed and my little Jetta will cruise at 100mph, but the Passat is bigger and far badder…I’d love a wagon

I’ve never bought a new car and never plan to. let someone else absorb the depreciation hit. I like the look of the B5.5s the best when it comes to Passats (2001-2005) but I like the super-boxy euro look, and they have the same engine as my car, which means lots of ways to tune it for more HP.

There’s those insane Passat AWD 8 cylinder beasts around, but I fear the reliability issues on such a complex engine. :P
