Has anyone replaced their Passat TDI, DSG with the new 2.0 gasser Passat? If so, I know it must be a huge let-down after the TDI but is it livable? I ask because I am very satisfied with the Passat comfort, handling (for its size) and storage. The rear seats allow for full trunk access which is a big item for me. I toss my bike back there almost daily.
After lots of yoga and meditation sessions I have come to grips with the knowledge that nothing will replace the TDI performance. Unfortunately that is a dead issue now. However, the newer technology (backup camera, etc) is appealing to me and I have not seen anything else that might be a reasonable replacement. I did take a closer look at the new Honda Accord - God help me...
