I traded my 2013 Accord Sport 6 Speed in for a 2014 TDI SE DSG. My wife hated the Accord mostly because of the manual. I thought it was a good car. It was fun to drive and reminded me a lot of my BMW E46 in terms of driving dynamics. I must say the Passat is on par with the Accord in terms of driving dynamics. I would give the edge to the Accord in terms os sportiness. I do like the Passat but 500 miles in and I'm bringing it in for a problem. I'm getting a squeaking rubbing noise under light on/off throttle inputs. Sounds like something is rubbing on the firewall. Anyone else experience anything similar. I took the belly pan off and looked around but could not see anything. I hope its not related to the DSG. kind of disappointed that I am already having an issue. This isn't my first go around with VW's. I guess I did not learn my lesson.
