Well done Mate... she looks fantastic! I love the colour. I always buy light coloured cars now, but only because of the temperatures living out west. I miss having dark, rich colours like this in my garage!

The first time you get away from the traffic lights and you expect some wheel chirp, because that's what you expect from your old car... but she just grips and goes, it will put the biggest smile on your face! You'll also do it every time after that. I look forward to being the first to a red light now...

Absolutely agree... she actually reminds me the first time that I drove my Scirocco, but a grow up version of it! I couldn't wipe that smirk off my face when I was driving it on Monday. Cant wait to have her back tonight!!!!!!!!!

Still waiting for the licensing department in WA to add the proper stuff to their system so the dealership can register it. It seems that the Western Australia Department of Transport is a little behind. I'm guessing no one else in WA has taken delivery?

Took a 206TSI Passat wagon for a test drive and came away suitably impressed. As expected, the engine is smooth, response and a most willing unit. In every day driving it isn't dramatically better than the 140TDI Highline, but does leave the diesel feeling somewhat sluggish in comparison when really pushed.

However, there is a marked difference in ride quality. Whereas the 140TDI Highline can thump and crash over bumps, the 206TSI soaks up road irregularities with ease. Perhaps Chopper's previous comment that the 206TSI rides slightly higher than Highline and Comfortline with R-Line pack giving it more suspension travel and hence the ability to cope better with our roads is the reason? Not sure, but the ride quality was a pleasant surprise, to be sure. I am hoping the ride quality I experienced in the 206TSI wagon is just as good in the 206TSI sedan.

Unfortunately, I went for a drive late after work and will have to wait until tomorrow for a valuation on my existing 140TDI Highline sedan. I'm hoping the changeover price is favorable because the 206TSI is a mighty fine vehicle. Fingers crossed!

If you don't have the R-Line package, I'd say it's just the fact the 206TSI has the ACC fitted, as the suspension travel is the same. This doesn't surprise me though, as the ACC makes a huge difference to the feel of the car (in my opinion). If you do have the R-Line package fitted, it should be like riding on a supportive could in comparison!

I'm looking to hearing what the changeover is. I wouldn't think it should be more than about $20,000 (assuming your Highline has the Lux. and R-Line packs!). Any more than that, it's probably not worth it!

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 206TSI Wagon. I'm currently driving a Black R36 sedan.

A few questions:

-How is the moonroof? Does anyone have any experience with one in the Passat? Does it get too hot?

-Any opinions on what colour the Passat wagon looks best in? I'm tossing up between white or grey.
