You really need to be pimpin in a big old barge - it's the only way to roll. Shocking amount of car for the money. The Passat 4-motion (really an audi quattro) and the volvo are along the right lines. My mates mondeo ST220 is faster in a straight line, but just not pimpin enough and wrong wheel drive. My preferance is a nice RWD Omega Elite. In fact I'd literally sell my familly for this one which is the same as mine, but has all the once ultra expensive Irmscher bits - bumpers, skirts, wheels and exhaust. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Might be now, but previous gen Passat was built on audi a4 platform and really is a proper longitudinal engine quattro underneath.

LOVE my E39 BMW, would never have another car for my daily driver, fast, very comfortable, solidly built, no need for indicators and other people tend to get out the way when approached fast from behind in the fast lane!!!

Just about to have the 3lt turbo diesel engine chipped too.... can't have enough torque





If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Oh no it's not.

**Anorak Alert**

B5 and B5.5 Passats are mechincally identical to the same age A4s being built on the same platfrom.
If it's a Quattro on this platform, it's multi link suspension and torsen Quattro IV whether it's a Passat or an A4.

No Haldex clutches - proper, permanent 4wd.

the current B6 Passat however is really a LWB Golf.

***Anorak Alert Ends***

I used to have a Passat 4mo myself, but the whirly bits underneath in a synchro are the same.

Great car.

Pity it wasn't the family bus you were replacing as mate tipped me off today to a really low mileage R75 in Wishaw
