G'Day All,
We've been thinking of changing our to a VW Passat MY15 sedan. Drove it a few weeks ago and liked it.
Looking here for advice and problems (DSG anyone)
Thanks

If you can afford it get the diesel. It has a lot more torque down low and has the more reliable DQ250 6 speed DSG. You'll have to rev the 118 to get any performance whereas the 130 diesel pulls well from low in the rev range.

Hi,
Not a big fan of diesels. Having driven Peugeots and Fords most of the time, not scared of revving the engine a bit. Those Peugeot engines love to be revved.
Afraid the budget doesn't extend either. For $36,990 drive away at the moment, I think it is a good buy.
May be I should post in the Passat tread.

There's a lot of standard equipment in these and the pricing is pretty keen. Not sure what your timing is like but there will be a new Passat here later in the year.

If you're looking at Passat you should cross-shop Superb. You might get a better deal or more car for the same money.
