Just picked up my wife's new 2013 Passat TDI SEL. I have noticed one problem. The passenger side fog light is not working. I am hoping it is just the bulb. Other than that, I am loving this car. The mileage is incredible. The windows should be tinted this week, the top of the back bumper is getting a clear bra shield on it (kids backpacks, etc.), and VRM V710 wheels are getting put on tomorrow.

Looks great! Picked mine up last Friday and already have over 500 fuel efficient miles on it. Can't tell from photo if ou have blue or black? Ours is nite blue.
Good luck with the bulb issue.

Have you turned the switch to the fog light setting to verify? The cornering feature in Auto can catch you off-guard. I thought the same thing until I figured out the the fog lights come on as the wheel turns. I felt pretty silly, but it has become a feature I really enjoy.

Hey! That's my car! It looks like the Platinum gray!?
What tint are you putting on the windows?

That's a good thing to check. Thanks for the tip.

Yep, Platinum Gray. Looking at about 20% all the way around.

Need pics of those wheels too - I'm looking at those for mine so I'd love to see them when you get them on... Congrats on the car - I love the color.
