Well just wanted to say at long last, ive found the passat owners club forum!.
ive recently purchase a Passat B6 on an 07 reg.Its a Steel Grey Metalic,Sport 170 DSG estate with Front/rear parking sensors,Winter Pack,Cruise Control,And ive added to it Multifunction Steering wheel with paddleshift and Ipod prep,and soon to be adding Mfd2 sat nav aswell.
I previously owned a high spec Golf Mk5 GTi dsg with a full extras list, but begrudgingly had to sell due to larger famly! getting bigger in size with a new Baby arrival 2 months ago.I have to say although the golf had 200bhp with the DSG and was an absolute blast to drive, the passat's performance is incredible!, in a straight line overtaking pull in the passat is very close in excellaration from 30mph, obviously not as agile as the GTi into corners but thats not what the car was made for.
Cannot find fault with the new wheels and have yet to spot many others like it (ie Sport 170 estates) on the road!:Dhttp://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/philmcavity/golfgtipics031.jpg

'Phil' - Hi and welcome.

Don't be put off by us all moaning, generally we are very happy with our Passats - well I am anyway - and there's a lot of experience here and on the other forums if you do get a niggle, as a read back through some of the threads will show.

Welcome Phil I have a 170bhp DSG SEL Estate, they do go well but be warned with spirited driving and the back fully loaded brake fade is evident :) but justified in the circumstances.

Your's is the same colour as mine too and the same wheels.

Hope you enjoy they are great cars despite some of the issue's other have had.
