The main reason I bought the Passat was because the WRX just ended up being too small with all the baby stuff I had to carry around - and also having to transfer stock between the Pharmacies - but with the wife owning a CR-V - we could probably get by with me having a smaller car and just swapping when we need to - so when the lease is up with the Passat, I will probably look at getting a Golf GTI or R, or with Opel coming back to Australia - maybe the quickest Astra that is available for sale.

Lease is still about 2.5 years away from finishing though so plenty of time to thing about it. Otherwise the car has been great and its a wonderful cruiser - but I do miss the "chuckability" of a smaller car like the WRX which is why I'll probably downsize.
