Ian1 2nd Gear June 6, 2017 Share June 6, 2017 Just booked the Passat comfortline at $144,400 event unit. 30k omv car. Work out to about 13k dep per year. Close price to camry and accord and mazda 6 price. Any mod or addon for the car to increase the accessories on the car? Wow really awesome deal. If they offer me the Passat Variant R-Line 2.0 at $14,000 per year depreciation, I grab without hesitation. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I can think of for now. 1 is just that the windshield is oily/dirty. Clean it up properly and it will be fine. For point 3 you mean you are not able to update the map in the sat nav?

Anderang 2nd Gear June 11, 2017 Author Share June 11, 2017 1 is just that the windshield is oily/dirty. Clean it up properly and it will be fine. For point 3 you mean you are not able to update the map in the sat nav? (1) I tried various ways. Got better but problem remains. (3) I am able to update myself by following some guidance from VAGSG forum. However the sat nav cannot work sometimes, it is unable to calculate the route. This happened many times. Still Acceptable,My Brother In Law Sharan always got Bulbs blowed.. I just learn to accept. Overall, it is a nice car to drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochran 1st Gear July 5, 2017 Share July 5, 2017 Hi Guy Will be collecting my 1.8 Passat soon. It only come with the 17" Rim. Looking to change to 18" when collecting the car. Any wheel shop more into vw car that i can look at more rim option for the passat or where to look for? New to vw car. Or bro can advise or share the rim u r on. The trade in value of the stock rim will be about how much in market in the shop? THank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trade in value of the stock rim will be about how much in market in the shop? THank you. Why not stick to the brand new 17" rim first? Shop will quote you low trade in value for the brand new 17" rim n tyres. Maybe after 1 year then change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemint 2nd Gear December 10, 2017 Share December 10, 2017 (edited) AFAIK, there will be a gap of about an inch between the bottom of the head restraint and the top of the seat's backrest.
