New Passat 206TSI R-Line

[snala]

Anybody tried or thinking about one of these? Gets good reviews from a lot of VW, Audi and Skoda drivers? If it gets rid of a bit of the low speed gear change shunt then..... It's a version one on my car looking underneath

After much deliberation the proverbial trigger has been pulled on a '17 built, Tungsten Silver 206 with sunroof.
Should have it by the end of the month.
I've owned an Amarok Highline for the last 4 years so this will be a huge change for me but I can't wait!!

Congrats! What you end up paying if you dont mind me asking?

I'm keen on a new Passat 206 R-Line to replace my ageing 125 kw Passat. Can someone tell me if the R-line Passat has auto dipping high beam feature. I live in a rural area where I often use high beam at night but am sick of manually turning them on and off with on coming traffic.

Short answer...No!

However it can be activated via VCDS / OBD11 etc.

Myself personally can not get it activated!

That's a bummer... I might ask the dealer about it when I head in for a test drive. If it can be programmed I may be able to convince them to do it.

What sort of wait times have people experienced recently? The Tiguan is horrendous!

I think there are a few dealer cars kicking around. Otherwise orders ~ 3-6 months.

Bought my 206 TSI Wagon in White back in May - Took 1 WEEK to deliver, soooo Happy with it, a few tweeks with OBD11 to get VIM and changed dashboard tube to the Arteon one! It is 1 sweet car..only issue I dont like is No car net / Freeview for us folks in Australia..Just love putting my foot down when an unsuspecting WRX or Audi TT tries to play hehe

I am currently torn between a 2018 3.6R Subaru Outback or the 206 TSI Wagon, lots of pluses and minuses on both sides - I was wandering if there were any reliability issues with the Passat that members have come across?

Had to laugh as I had that issue back in May I was torn between the Outback R / Levorg / Legacy B -Spec and the Passat but in the end the Passat was the way I went ..

p.s Never liked a Passat until the 206 TSI R-Line came along

Picked it up yesterday MY18 wagon - and really happy with it. Had to go to work today so couldn't drive it but looking forward to the weekend.
