Very nice mate!

Do you know how much the car is lowered?

They claim 10mm

Very nice mate!

Do you know how much the car is lowered? Also have you test driven a standard highline? If so how much difference is there in ride quality (harsh/firm over bumps, etc)?

I'm only asking because Im thinking about lowering my Highline due to body roll, but don't wanna compromise the ride quality too much.

Congrats anyway on the purchase

Mine measures 36cm from the centre of the wheels to the guards (35cm on left rear), so measure yours & will will all know the truth! The ride is firm but quite acceptable & still soaks up bumps quite well. I like the ride/handling compromise but only you can decide if it's right for you. If you want a flatter cornering experience, some comfort has to be sacrificed.

Let us know what yours measures at the guards.

Hi,
Congrats..When did you order this car anyway?/Also did the dealer give you some sort of tracking number to check the progress of your vehicle?
I ordered mine in NOvember 2011 and won't expect the car to arrive in May 2012 with sports pack...
I'm gonna try and go to dealership that has similar spec car to mine to have a look at it in person. I ordered a black sedan with the sports pack.

I ordered mine end July and was told Dec delivery. This then blew out to Feb/March before I eventually was given the VIN number to track the car. This showed it left Bremerhaven on Oct 1... eventually arrived in my driveway on Dec 9. Your dealer should be able to give you the VIN for your car at some stage & then you will be able to see it progress as per the tracking info on these forums. Hopefully it won't be as long as you have been advised!

Hi cru22z

if you go to the german site, Volkswagen Deutschland , you can go to the konfigurator and check it out... just pick the Passat "Exclusive"... pick your colour etc... looks good in black with those wheels too...

For those that are interested, the Passat Alltrack is now listed as well!

the original visualise the sportspack (coz VWA wont give you anything) is
