It is not that bad yet, i love driving the car and looking at it... i'll judge it after VW has had a chance to rectify... just annoyed and venting... had I wanted an Alfa Romeo I would have bought an Alfa Romeo (love driving, love looking at, would have had plenty of time to be prepared for "idiosyncratices"...

Just to let you all know, I have had my MY12.5 Passat V6 wagon for about 3 weeks. These are the issues I ahve found already.

1) Rattle underneathn rear (found to be a loose heat shield & since fixed)
2) Steering wheel off centre
3) Centre right air vent broken (vertical fins won't slide left or right)
4) rear right wheel arch plastic moulding dust/direct deflector missing.

Points 2-4 are supposedly going to be fixed at the interim 7,500klm check up. I agree with FSI. I didn't buy a $70,000 car to have these crappy issues. Let's hope VW rectify & that is the end of it. Loving the driver feel though. It meets all my driving requirements & then some.
