Re: first 1000 miles with the new Passat TDI
I'm up to 20,000 km on mine (in 4 months!). Really happy with the performance. Lights right off in even the coldest weather. Average fuel economy (most of those 4 months have been in winter) has been about 35 mpg (US) or 6.7 l/100 km. Mostly commuting into Montreal, 75 mph on the highway for about 90 km, then bumper-to-bumper crawl into the city for the remaining 15.
My only mod so far has been the bi-xenon lights. They aren't the greatest HIDs out there from what I can gather, but I do notice the difference mostly when I go back to driving our Jetta at night, even the e-codes with high-performance bulbs seem dim in comparison.
Very comfortable highway cruiser as well. I could see myself driving cross-country in this car. Very non-fatiguing to drive.
