Introducing the Passat Alltrack - VW's Outback Competitor

[FSI 220]

When I met the wife and had to upsize from the WRX to a Forester XT turbo (known in the WRX club as "tractors") I also changed out the Geolanders (they really do grip like trough lollies on stainless...!), but not until I took em to wakefield for a laugh!

Anyhow... I only went to the fozzy because I kinda wanted a WRX that would make it thorough bad farm tracks....wife's folks live on a farm... and the forester was tiring.... high riding cars are neither one nor the other... IMHO (and it is only my opinion) they are a comprimise. You need at least 210 mm of clearance to crest a track crown without decking the sump/gearbox/skidplates whatever and between hilux to landcruiser wheeltracks to run in the ruts, the corollary being a nice low ride height so you dont have stuffed roll centres if enjoy a decent drive up some switchbacks...

Drive.com.au state that it is likely to be released on a 40k price tag.

However this is likely to be for the 2wd 118TSI model rather than the 4Mo 125TDI that people actually want.

we loved our 04 outback. but the H6 was mega thirsty. We loved our '06 passat that replaced it, what a great idea to combine the two!
