Hear hear! Perhaps I should know better but I really am so surprised by how well it handles. Maybe my expectations were a little too low to begin with. That’ll teach me!

Evening all! Picked up my B6 Passat estate of the R variety just last week and can already tell this one is undoubtedly a keeper - superb motor!
