They're engineered that way.
The current generation of Passat is in a very different league but it had to be.
Yup. Very much like my Saab 9-3. The Passat is a good choice for motorways, but less in its element on a B-road.
They're all like it, you pick how much understeer you want on power, add a little extra for the 1.9 TDI, and there's your choice.
Yes, although it's such a barge of a thing that it's what I expected, so I wasn't dissapointed. Went like the clappers in a straight line, was comfy and quiet, has a good stereo - perfect motorway tool; better than the passat, anyway.
Nooo, more comfy than the passat. Quite a bit more. And if you let the rear tyres down a bit, you could get the back end to swing a bit :-D
Given a choice, I'd take the A6 every time.
Hmmm 'kay.
Is this an older A6 or a newer one?
Down?!
Okay... that's unusual. In everything I've owned, I've increased the rears a little for some rear action, so to speak.
I know - it's going crazy. But get this - a Toyota Aygo is the same size, inside and out, as a late shape Vauxhall Carlton! Go out and measure them if you don't believe me. People won't think you're mad or anything.

Factory bi-fuel is a good choice, smaller petrol tank to make room for LPG tank so you still get spare wheel and luggage space!
Heh. Pillock.
*mutters* where did I put my tape measure..?
Older. Was a '96 I think. The generation following the 100, with the inline-5 140Bhp diesel lump.
Yup. Well, if you didn't pump them up for ages, then the back end would start to do stuff. :-)
Same effect, probably, except your way is probably better for the tyres.
I had an A6 V6 TDi Avant for a while.
Nice enough car but it didn't do anything particularly well, although the stereo could reproduce Jack Whites guitar on "Hello Operator" better than most.
Was pretty good on fuel though.
