New Passat Wagon

[natwsmith]

Picked up my new passat wagon yesterday - Im loving it - finding it very hard to work today - would rather be out on the open road testing her out. Loved it when the VW rep said that I need to give her a flogging every now and then to work her in - alot better than when you get told to drive it slowly and come back after 1000km for an inspection.

Cant believe the car gets to 6th gear by the time you are doing 50-60km/hr. Suppose this is a big reason they are so frugal with the gas.

White MFD is awesome and RCD510 radio is good as well - just have to find an SD card around 16GB to fit all my music onto and that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

Congrats on the new wagon.
16G SD cards are well priced now days. Look online.

I don't believe it either. Using 'D' mode, mine would just be going into 5th at the top end of that range (60kph actual or 65 on the speedo). It only goes to 6th just before 80kph and is only doing about 1400-1500 rpm then.
