I understand the Q50 is on DAS. But when u tested the cars, do u remember which one is quieter etc? Thanks 

Passat quieter.  Q50 can feel the difference during cornering because of RWD.

Hi all, 

I was wondering if its a wise choice for me to change to a 2017 Q50, am currently driving a B7 Passat and was wondering about the difference between the Q50 and the B7 passat (eg consumption, ride quality/NVH, drive and servicing) 

Appreciate any help! thanks!!

Q50 esp the sports, great sound system and speakers and very good to zoom zoom on the roads, drivers' car, servicing outside not exp

Used q50 depr is generally low 

Fuel consumption not so good

same price 80K+, between 4-year-old q50 and 10-year-old E250 COE car, which one is a better buy?

Depends on mileage & condition....I would pick the Q50 if condition is nice,difficult to find a low mileage E250.

True. there is one 2010 E250 with 63,900 km only,  1 Owner, Full Service Record At CarLab, mileage is similar or even less than those 80K+  2016 Q50.  difficult to weigh the two.

Better buy in which aspect? Driving pleasure? Status? Costs of ownership?

They may be at the same price but depreciation is quite different.

Understand that "better buy" is a function of all these factors and varies from person to person, just curious to know how people weighs the two under fix budget as my references.

Ok, from a car lover point of view, the W212 is a great car, with excellent build quality and a real sense of solidity and understated luxury. It is also spacious and comfortable. It should also be relatively straightforward to maintain as the car ages. Do find one with the 7-Gtronic gearbox as the older 5-speeder is not as nice.

Having said that, I would like to go for a younger car, though not the Q50. It does not appeal to me as it doesnt have a strong identity cos of its rebadged Nissan Skyline with a MB drivetrain. I also find the rear seats uncomfortable. It is strong value for money as a used car though. 

I would be thinking about a B8 2L Passat if it was me.

There is no 7 Gtronic for COE W212 yet, got to wait for 2012 pre facelift model

Thanks for pointing that out. I think the GB was upgraded to 7-Gtronic in the last quarter of 2011 for local cars.

Hi! I am new to this thread.

May I ask if anyone knows the actual fuel consumption of the 2019 Q50?

FC depends alot on the Driver's Right Foot & Road Condition,i would say for 2.0,highest about 9Km/L,lowest 13Km/L.
