New Passat 206TSI R-Line

Congrats on the pickup! She look very nice! Can i ask what you paid drive away?

Is it true there is 3 silvers to chose from? A light one, the one you chose and one in between?

I paid $62,800 for mine. as per the colour, I think it is only the silver and the grey that I have?

Pickup is supposed to be today but thanks to good ole Western Australia, it doesn't exist in the Department of Transport database, so they can't register it. I'd taken the day off to do some errands and pickup the car. Cross fingers that something happens today. I really don't want to bust another day off for nothing.

Hi Chopper,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Wife decided on Tiguan and not the Passat 206 TSI R-Line. See signature below.

Thanks Chopper! Once more people has taken delivery, we should organise a morning drive somewhere!

Great idea! I've found they're often hard to organise... but if we can pull it off, cool!

ok, counting down the hours..... Finally picking mine up today. Wagon - Night blue with sunroof and towbar...can't wait...

I'll post some pics later.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Night Blue! Welcome to the club!

There are two light silver colours... Reflex Silver and Tungsten Silver. My old GTI was Reflex... so I went Tungsten this time. It's more of a pewter colour.

I had a similar problem in NSW. It was so new, I couldn't get insurance. Had to get a broker to arrange it because it wasn't on the RTA System. Then... had to wait for rego... it near drove me nuts!

Bro... if ordered the 206, you'd have it by now. You could have a divorce quicker than that Tiguan...

Actually Chopper,

I can speak from bitter experience. A Divorce will take longer than the delivery of the Tiguan.

Be happy for me that we also chose the Tungsten Silver.

Enjoy your 206.

Good to see the Passat forum abuzz! I've enjoyed reading the enthusiastic posts ... so much so I'm taking a 206TSI Passat sedan for a test drive tomorrow afternoon.

Crazy as it sounds I'd be happy to trade in my current B8 140TDI Highline sedan with R-Line and Luxury Pack at 7 months of age and 18,000 kms for a 206TSI sedan (without sunroof) ... if the price is right.

What do you guys reckon I should aim for with changeover?

Will post again tomorrow night with an update. Cheers!

Hey guys! Just picked up mine this afternoon! Indium Grey Wagon with sunroof!

Nice! Especially the matching license plate.
How long did you have to wait for stock? I still haven't received a date or details from the dealer as yet...

Which dealer is that if you dont mind saying?

All good David... you have a great taste in colour!

I couldn't even hazard a guess! I'd say you'll take a fair haircut on it though.

Wow!!

Praise from Chopper is praise indeed.

I am truly appreciative.

I have waited 3 weeks for this ... They have secured the car on 27th Oct and it arrived australia on 30th Oct. Custom and compliance took around 2 weeks and it trucks down from brissy to Sydney last week.

I PM you for the dealer and contact.
