Hi fellow dubbers,
As my 08 TDI nears end of lease I've been looking at Passat B7 and Alltrack for replacement.
Alltracks are very nice, and am considering a sports pack addition for the swish seating, paddles and tint (and the 4 wheel roadholding). However, Passat wagons appear to be very good value, with an panoramic sunroof model being advertised under the magic 50K (2013 compliant). My only concern is the beige interior, how does it go for staying clean? I do find it rather garish, especially the dash contrast between the two colours.
My black leather has always been simple to keep clean with a quick wipe over with the chamois.
However the Passat is the right colour, instock and available now.... Difficult decision as a similar Alltrack would be a 6 month wait and probably $5K more!
