    When will we see the 2016 Passat?

    I'll never see mileage like that in my R. The best I've gotten on a tank is 26.x and I'm now refueling every week instead of every 3 on the Passat. Oh well. This thing sure is fun!

    Fact/fiction about these Passat's.....

    In the 3 years, 63,000 miles I had mine, I didn't have any issues. In strictly highway driving, my best MPG was 46, and I normally averaged 43 or 44. See my fuelly sig for details. I can't speak about the sportiness and handling of previous Passats, but I didn't find it handled badly for a car...

    Another TDI defector

    Thanks! Here's another that I took once I got home. It's been raining every day since, so I haven't taken any other pics. I have considered that, but for now, it's fast enough. (I can't believe I just typed that)

    Another TDI defector

    So far in mixed driving, I'm averaging 23, as opposed to about 37 with the same commute in the Passat. I'm sure it will get better as it breaks in (only 246 miles on it), and if I can keep myself from putting my foot into it...but isn't that the point? :D

    Another TDI defector

    First off, the Golf is a much smaller car than the Passat, and while that's obvious from the back seat, it's doesn't feel cramped up front. It's really obvious how much smaller it is when parked in the garage. The ride is firm, but compliant, and it's very nimble. The interior fit and finish...

    Another TDI defector

    After almost 3 years, I traded my Passat TDI yesterday. I had no problems with it over the course of ownership, and loved the space, but have been wanting something a bit more sporty. Well, while at the dealership having my battery replaced last week, I found something I couldn't stop thinking...

    The question is why do you care so much about what he is driving?

    RNS 315 map update sale

    Since v.7 just came out in November, I'm guessing v.8 won't be out for a while.

    Sound Off on Current Diesel Price

    The last time I filled up, it was $2.39 at a rural station about 7.5 miles south of my house. According to gasbuddy, it's down to $2.25 now, but it'll be another two weeks before I have to fill up again.

    Diesel fuel $1.00 more than gasoline!

    Yeah, if I didn't think the prices would rebound, I'd be seriously considering something more fun, like a new GTI.

    Diesel fuel $1.00 more than gasoline!

    That's what I paid on Sunday when I filled up. The stations in town near my house are in the $2.96 - $3.00 range, but if I drive 7.5 miles south of my house, there is a little country store (Conoco) that's selling it for $2.39. I talked to the owners, and they said they are making money at that...

    Anybody out there in Louisiana?

    I have a friend in Lafayette that used them for one of his scheduled maintenance visits for his Jetta TDI, and he didn't have any complaints. I called them when shopping around for my 40k service, which included DSG flush, and they were actually more expensive than the dealership. My buddy did...

    what new tires for 2013 Passat TDI?

    I went with the Michelin Primacy MXM4's when I replaced mine. Very happy with the choice!

    80k checkup today

    I called Das Autohaus when I was price shopping for my 40k service, but they weren't any cheaper than my closest dealership (at the time), which was in Lafayette, LA.

    DSG Stall Reverse to Drive

    Mine has done that one time in almost 60k miles. I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes frequent.
