Anyone know how to access the 'more' link on the VW Aust. Website relating to the R36? When I click on it, I'm taken to a logon/password screen. Seems odd.
Also, those of you with current model Passats, could you give me an indication of the running costs pls (eg. avg service costs). I'm assuming the insurance and tyre costs for the R36 would be higher than the regular versions.

I'm guessing tyres will be more expensive than those for the GTI and fuel consumption will be on par with the old Ecotech V6 enchines that Holden used to stick in the Commodore.
Servicing costs... don't go to a VW dealer

I've already organised my budgets for the R36, and comparing the 3.2L Passat I previously had on order it's not too much more.
25,000km's a year
15L per 100km's Average @ $1.50 per litre
Tyres @ $2500 a set to replace every 25,000kms
Servicing @ $1000 per year.
I'm sure the servicing comes under $1k, but I am a bit worried about maintenance items such as brake pads, rotors, shocks, etc...

Does anyone have any photos of the interior of the R36 from the BMS?

I got someone of another forum to take some pics for me, I've uploaded them here:

Looks good!
I guess it would be too much to hope that we get a GTI style steering wheel and/or one like the Passat CC concept with the Audi like controls on it.
Still, the rear seats look comfy (not that I'll ever be in them!) and the brushed aluminium looks a lot better than the stuff shown in the concept.
And another question for Passat wagon owners... do the rear seats fold down, and if so, to what extent? Are they flat, or not quite?
Cheers!
