We have basically decided to order a 206TSI wagon. We have been given a Highline wagon to test drive over the weekend to make sure car seats etc. fit and make a final decision.

The car is great (even with the 140TDI engine)... but I'm shocked at how bad the audio is! My GTI has the standard audio package... and I had no complaints with it. I ordered it with the standard package because our Lexus has the $3,000 Mark Levinson option... and I couldn't tell the difference between it and the regular Lexus package (so I'm no audiophile!). But... the Passat audio is AWFUL... no bass, no clarity and a cheap, tinny sound! I've spent 15 minutes playing around with it, but no luck.

If the Dynaudio was an option, I would definitely have fitted it, but it's not... so I need another solution. It's not a deal breaker as the car is pretty good (and I imagine it can only get better as a 206TSI) but I don't think I can live with the sound.

Does anyone have any options / ideas about how to upgrade the speakers and sound while retaining the head unit???
