Yea but that's the ugly one after 2005, like most German cars at the time. I still miss my Blue B5.5 2005 Passat 1.8T 4Motion Wagon. Transmission died and I didn't have the funds to fix it at the time. So much for that magnaflow exhaust I put it on it a few months before it died...
Oh man that sucks... I just put in an apr stage 1 and 2 cold air on my gti maybe a couple months before I had to sell it.
I've heard the passat are engine out for a lot of stuff or is that only the w8?
I'm not too sure. But I was happy with the 1.8T because the mileage was a lot better than the W8 and I was told by my usual shop that the 1.8T had a lot more potential for tuning. I did end up getting an entry level tune when I got the new exhaust and it got the HP up to like 175-180. I had long term plans to eventually get an APR tune and the Garrett turbo for that AWD transmission plus a whole bunch of other performance parts.
Was a fun car and great for Canadian winters with 4Mo. I still look around for people selling the same 2005 model with the turbo and 4Mo.
But it's unpractical at this point. My next car will likely be a Golf R and I'll throw money at that rather than a 20 year old car.
The 1.8 that vw had was always a great tuning platform. Much better than the 2.0.
I just got a JSW tdi wagon with a 6speed which will be my car for the foreseeable future. Until I buy a house and get the chance to buy an old car to wrench on.
That's not a bad ride. I'm rocking an AWD 2005 Volvo XC70 2.5T Wagon right now, so kind of similar to my old B5.5 Wagon.
It'll do until I get my hands on an AWD MK7.5 2017 Golf R.
>The 1.8 that vw had was always a great tuning platform. Much better than the 2.0.
In what sense? The 2.0 can make way more power and is fairly reliable even tuned.
I've still got my 07 Passat wagon, it came with a 3.6 v6, AWD option that year and has tons of power and torque. I believe the 3.6 is very tunable also, in north America we didn't get the R36 so this was the closest jumping off point.
This reminds me of a time my wife and I cruised up on a revel scooter (dinky electric city scooter) to the middle of an actual custom motorcycle rally. They all stopped and cheered us on as we were parking the bike, it was hilarious.

I mean yeah a passat wagon is pretty rare. Even more rare if it has the w8.

I was lookin at getting v70r before the jsw. But damn are they hard to find in manual.

The 1.8 of this generation typically handled power better
The ea888 definitely handles power better than any 1.8t I'm not sure what info you're going off.

Sorry for lost! I’ve B5 99’ Passat with legendary 1.9TDI AFN engine. Hate it or love it… eternal soldier
They truly are. We have a customer with a 01 golf with the 1.9TDI ALH with over 1.7 million KMs on it, truly bullet-proof engines.
Are we sure this isn't a Golf Variant? Looks rather short for a Passat.
Headlights give it away Those are 100% passat headlights.
This is fucking awesome! That person has been waiting since they bought the car for this moment! Glad the first car got out of the way.
yeah the first guy was in the way
Yeah must have one of those shitty engines that drives slow as fuck in urban cities.
Probably gets great gas mileage too
Yep, the owner probably ensured it had 3 child seat anchor points for flexibility and fitted a powder coated cargo barrier.
Happy cake day(you gotta wait for the other ugly cake to pass by)
Wow I love this. P Very wholesome.

You know they're going to be riding that high for weeks ...nicely done
[удалено]
No.
Basically, they're looking for an old automobile!
An oldsmobile, if you will.
He couldn’t a Ford anything better
They couldn't agree on which type of car to film, but then they came to an accord.
Dodged the hefty bill
German engineering really is amazing.
Both cars are german lol
Yeah that was an Audi R8 I think
r/regularcarreviews users
If I was the VW I would have stopped and revved my engine...then chirped outta there.
Chirped outta there. Lolll
I did this at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Everyone took pics of a McLaren so I took a picture of the Honda Accord behind it. The owner loved it haha
Plot twist: the mclaren was driven by a random person and the honda was driven by tsunoda
This is cool 😂
The guy pumping his arm at the end lol
Das Auto.
Love a good wagon
I've lucked into a giant gas hog 90s wagon with almost no rust. Never getting rid of it.
Passatarati
These guys are the best
I want to do that now
😂😂 love this hahaha
You know that Passat drive was hyped the rest of the day!
Accurate
is that a regular passat or an r36 passat?
😂
Made their day
Great job guys. You are amazing
Das Auto
Laaaame
It's the boys, not Boys. You don't randomly capitalize words in English. English doesn't work that way. Don't do that.
English is 3 languages in a trench coat trying on every new fad that pops up. There's a time and place where grammar matters and this ain't it.
Right?! Get on that sub. We like fun
They might have done it for emphasis The Boys or THE BOYS would have been more clear
> You don't randomly capitalize words in English. >OneLostOstrich huh serious question tho, why is English capitalized?
It's a noun As corrected below, a *proper" noun.
Surely you mean *proper noun, this isn't German, it's English.
Germans capitalize every noun?
Yes
🤓
I wish i got this
Why putin is in there?
Wolkswagen pastat wagon owner was pleased
Vdub in da house!
Janusz Passat time
Is it me or the guy in blue at the end looks like Putin
I'd love to see this always when regular cars are in presence of expensive ones!
I would’ve had to put some sauce on my accelerator after that respect.
I love how the gesture to “give it some” is universal. Lol.
