Hi Folks,
I'm a newby here, and tis great to see such a strong following for the veedubs! I owned a passat 1.9 TD wagon almost 20 years ago in Scotland, and it was great.
Am about to trade in a 2002 allroad on a new passat wagon, but not sure which way to go yet. I like the older shape (MY10.5?), but am still working on the MY11 with the "sharper edges".
Am going for the TDI in any case, but interested to see what you folks recon about the new shape/model/differences between the two, as I can get a new car in either model.
Resale (I guess) will probably be better down the track with the "first of the new, rather than the last of the old" (good discount on the older model just now tho), slightly better fuel consumption....

And what about colours? the Icelandic Grey looks nice - I've had a couple of black cars in the past, look great, but need regular washing, and now with 3 kids, don't have too much time to keep the wheels sparkling!

Extras - gees. there are a few available, but which ones would be handy?

I've had a good read thru a few of the posts in here, and would muchly appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers

Lambo.
