Hi everyone,
I'm from Melbourne and recently purchased a 2012 Passat Wagon TD, 'Iceland Grey' in colour.
I haven't actually taken delivery of the car yet, it's somewhere on a ship in the Indian ocean, about two days out from Fremantle. I've been tracking the the progress of my car since it left Europe on the 2/4/12. I discovered how to track V.W vehicle movements, when I happen to read a post on the subject, linked back to 'WaterCooled'. A very valuable article, as it turned out.
Anyway, I bought a Passat after months of research into various cars, finally concluding that the Passat best fulfilled my criteria of, safety, comfort, features, economy, quality, ride and style. The style may not be to everyones liking, including motor journos, who often describe the new shape as too conservative, boxy and or bland, but I quite like it and the interior in particular, just oozes luxury and simplicity. My car also comes with a few little extras, GPS and reverse camera, panoramic sun roof and auto tail gate. I hope these extras are worth it?
So, all there is to do now, is wait, in anticipation for the day when the dealer say's, "it's ready to pick up". I can honestly feel a bit like a child on Xmas eve. The anticipation and expectation just keeps building.
Anyway wish me luck, I'll try and post some pics when it arrives.
Bye for now.
Jon.
