I'm looking at buying a 2004 Passat TDI wagon. The product litrature is full of marketing mombo-jumbo that us Americans seem to like but not many detials. Any answers below would be appreaciated!!!
---- Trans ------ The litrature says that you can slide the selector to the right and push forward to upshift and pull back to down shift.
My question is does this really work like a manual transmission by locking the engine output directly to the drive shaft ( which would increase gas mileage) or does it just give you the sensation of a manual shifter but only really just changing to a new automatic gear?
Is "D" a locking overdrive?
---- Specs ------ Can this vehicle tow a trailer and if so how much weight?
Gross vehicle weight?
Vehicle weight? If you have the Jetta wagon weight to compare that would be great.
---- Jetta wagon VS Passat wagon ---- I'm torn here - I like the gas milage of the jetta wagon but I went to the dealer in Atlanta an it seems that the Passat has a little higher quality of construction but I really don't know? Any comments on Jetta VS Passat?
---- Options ----- Is their any way to get the six way seat, 16' Mags in a TDI model?
---- Ordering ----- I really don't think a dealer will have exactly what I want. passat wagon, leather, color, etc. If I order one will it take forever to get one.
---- How to purchase ---- I've never purchased a new car. Several people have told me the get the price off
---- Passat Wagon Owner comments ---- If any of you own the Passat wagon I would appreaciate your comments on the TDI wagon!
Thinks in advance!
