Silver, luxury package, black leather package. no monsoon or cd player.
Check out the thread over at www.vwvortex.com for the possibilities
showroom floors and 6 months can mean alot when it comes the economy
and markets as we saw last year.
In addition, I think that it will be packed with enough surprises that it will
capture it's anticipated market share...
frustration...it seems that the Dealership is standing behind the Certified Pre-Owned Warranty,
even to the extent of providing you with a Service Loaner, which is NOT part of the Program
by the way.
Try to be patient, and be thankful that you made a wise decision getting a Certified car...A typical
*used car* carries a 90 day 3000 mile Powertrain Warranty only, and this problem would NOT be
covered.
And...*Lemon* cars cannot be Certified by VWOA....
What is VW's "anticipated market share" for the W8? Do they think it will outsell the other engines or merely be offered as a super performance variant available in limited quantities...like an M3 is with BMW?
couple of hours when VWOA formally launches the new Warranty Pkg.
87 regular $1.69
89 premium $1.79
93 supreme $1.89 & up
I know the manuals suggest anything higher than 91.... But could I get by with 89 octane?
We are talking about an extra $2.80 per fill-up to keep your new $20,000+ new vehicle running it's best. Small price to pay if you ask me.
The biggest reason for the '01.5 reskin of the Passat was to lengthen the nose to accomodate the upcoming 8-cyl.
The new for '02 Audi A4 is built of the new "B6" platform. The next Passat and A6 wil be as well.
I can't imagine getting a better driving/handling/powerful car without spending close to $10000 more. Also, though I have the auto trans. I was told you have no choice with the 4-Mo. Only Tiptronic. I live in the NYC area and winters fairly mild, 4-Mo not necessary. Good luck.
But you did mention "attractive",which to me suggests that you are a car entheuist.Because I do think you have to be one to really be happy with a Passat.It is a little more expensive to maintain,but it is MUCH more fun to drive. I'd suggest the 5spd. 4 cylinder. The 6 adds $3,000 because it comes also with a lot of wood trim inside. Even if you didn't think you were a manual transmission person,consider it. As the automatic is a 5spd with "tiptronic"shifting,it is rather expensive($1,000)And the stick shift adds a LOT of fun to the driving.(Superlative silage(31 mpg)too).
But the car must be looked at as a luxury of a sort,in that it has a lot of sport built into it. Whereas an Accord is meant to be like a refrigerator-after its initial expense,you don't want to spend a dime on it or even think about it. The Pas sat you can get involved with,and I do think iot is,bar none,the most attractive sedan on the market.

You're kidding right?
car...This is a matter for your Insurance Co.
Any damage to your car is from the shell; not the egg!
What you are saying is that you would hold the Manufacturer of your
Television set responsible if the Cable service went out of order....
g20eng
Oh my goodness, you're serious!
It is not VWOA's fault that there are stupid people in this world that like to egg new cars.
I would put it in the past, talk to your insurance co. and park your car in the garage next time.
point of origin.
This has nothing to do with the 26 coats of paint on your Passat...Actually
you can also test this yourselves in another less dramatic way...Take a key and
drag it down the side of your new car...then do the same thing to your Steinway
in the living room or den, and then finally any another beautifully painted object in
your home...
The results will no doubt all be similar; putting to rest the idea that VWOA is
selling a faulty product, but one that is merely vulnerable to vandalism...
I turn off the AC, I can hear the noise for a while and then can't hear that. So, if someone have same problem, let me know how to fix it.
And you guys know Homelink with sunvisor extension. But I am not sure what it is.
I have this option for my car but I couldn't find sunvisor extension at the manual or wherever.
If WV didn't install the sunvisor extension,
I should ask for it.
Last thing, my car do have sunroof, but it didn't work at first. I was so upset and I want to find out what is the cause of malfunction. Actually I couldn't wait for the dealer service during the weekend. So I tried to dignose the problem by myself, and found that VW didn't install the fuse for the sunroof. Oh, my goodness! Then I put the fuse in the box and now works fine. Can you believe VW didn't put the fuse and didn't test all systems.
to compute the GVWR for all vehicles...Cars & Trucks...
Not too dissimilar to medicine that uses 165# as a standard from which
all else is then computed, drug dosages, etc. Sort of the Common
Denominator...
As to Booklet 3.3 you have to multiply 150 X 5 = 750#s, plus Luggage and
the other ingredients...
Now...give me another 10 situps!!!!
I notice the "lag" that occurs when I accelerate from 0 in drive. When I use Tiptronics shifting the lag is not there. It's more fun driving on surface streets using Tiptronics anyway.
Other than that I've had no complaints. This car is sporty yet classy, cool yet sophisticated, stylish yet conservative, slow yet . . . . that's enough.
I get so many looks and compliments about my car. I wish I could have afforded the leather, sunroof and wood trim, but then again when you add all of those options the Pas sat ceases to be the bargain I was looking for in the first place. By the way, I walked into the showroom and asked to talk to the Fleet salesperson. I drove away in my 2001.5 Pas sat for $350 over invoice. In my opinion Fleet is the only way to go.
Please advise, any comments will be appreciated.
We are considering to trade the Passat for a new one, this time an automatic with a V6 because the wife does not find the 5speed convenient anymore in the stop and go traffic.
Any comments from Passat's with auto and V6.
Thanks
So, has anybody got any suggestions on how I can improve the AM reception with this Audio system supplied with my Passat
bluenic.
02s, CD coming with the late Sept. & early Oct. cars.
Steve...you might want to check on something as simple as the AM ground...
Don't get me wrong, I think that some of the color combos with black and grey interior looks good but I'm leaning for a tan interior with a complimenting/contrasting exterior color I saw and *liked* the Silverstone Gray Metallic exterior with the tan interior till I saw the "horrendous" post in regards to the color combo. Other colors I like was the Blue Anthracite or Blue Silver.
Am I just a sicko with bad taste?
Uluru.
FloorPlan Interest Reserve = $92
Total = $117
Diane...I love the new Beige(Butter) interior; some do not...That is what makes a market!
It is really more of a practical issue to me...I like the Beige in my Indigo Blue GLX, but
then again, I don't transport a lot of kids and their gear in it. Beige is Beige and if low
maintenance is important, then Grey or Black is better. My Wife's Variant has grey
leather, and although not as bullet proof as the black it is certainly more forgiving
than Beige...But...You should get what you like...no one here is going to step for
your payment; so live large!!!
