We decided to upgrade to a B6. Unfortunately being a 'whole number' version upgrade it was a rip and replace, so we sold the B5.5 to a mate (who's loving it) and went and picked up a B6
It's a *bit* leggy as it's had 133k wound on it already, but drives really nice and tightly - clearly hasn't been subjected to the abuse my family had inflicted on the B5.5
It also needs a new stereo so I can play music from the phone and do handsfree stuff.
Fitted two new Goodyear tyres to match the virtually new rears.
The Passat is only 50% of our 'fleet refresh' project. We also picked up another Haldex enabled vehicle to keep it company, in a curiously similar colour:
Both seem superb.
