140 tri passat questions

[Gazza]

B8 also has a slightly smaller fuel tank than the B6/7 (65L vs 70L, I think), so that will make a difference to the range.
Having said that, I found my previous 2010 B6 gave slightly better consumption than my B8 Alltrack for the same driving conditions, but you also have to factor in that my Alltrack is AWD and has only clocked 11,000kms. I found my B6 really only started to loosen up after about 15,000 kms.

1100Kms in everyday use; better on long motorway runs.

After almost 30 year using vw (20 overseas and 10 years in Australia), I found very vw is great car with shi...ty support, overpriced Services and rude call support.
Now I am tossing between ford Mondeo titanium md wagon and vw wagon b8 tdi......

I don't own a B8 TDI but when looking early 2016 I was really keen on one, based on how my wife's Golf 7 110 TDI drove. Was horrified by the lag on the 140 TDI Passat, my wife drove them too (we tried two different ones) and she agreed she couldn't live with the lag. Just something to look out for, perhaps they've ironed this out now, if so I may be in the market for a Passat Alltrack, currently prefer the Golf Alltrack 135 as no lag issues on that engine.

I was driving new passat b8 and no lag whatever (maybe just luck). Also, I was driving Mondeo titanium with full options with no lag as well. Price difference is huge. Still thinking about which car.
Petrol car is not option since I using car for work on field.

Not sure if the current gen is better, but my mc ti was a dog to trundle in.
No lag and plenty of go when you are up it, and cornered well when you are up it to, but just cruising and need to take a corner and it would steer slower than the titanic (which it became known as)
Dare i say superb or occy?

I was driving md titanium and I was impressed how handling. Cornering nice, plenty power for overtaking. This was 2016 wagon.
Passat are definitely better quality inside, outside but.md comes with full options. Still like more pasat engine ( old habit)

The MD Mondeo is a highly underrated Car.
I have owned a 2016 Mondeo Titanium Wagon TDCi and also a 2017 Mondeo Titanium EcoBoost.
Both fantastic cars, though the EcoBoost was very thirsty (averaged around 14L/100kms).
The TDCi on the other hand was more like 7L/100km.

Would I get another one? Yes...
