Anyone here own a current body style (B7-B8?) Passat? My wife and I have our second child due in December and along with her nesting I've been thinking about making room for another kid as well. The only thing holding me back is we both already have 2016s. My Gti and her big dumb Kia Sorento "SUV", which as if that's not bad enough is a lease. The other issue is she's for no real reason insisting on keeping the Kia (even tho she never drives it. 13,000 miles vs my car at 40,000 currently) since she drives a RHD Cherokee I bought her for work. I really don't want to sell my gti or pay for her Korean missle crisis Kia, but I feel like the Passat would make the perfect kid Hauler. And since our plan is for her to play the stay at home mom role that kinda leaves me now responsible for paying for her car...so there's my reasoning. If I'm paying for something I A. Want to own it in the end & B. Don't want it to be a Kia.
So outside of any first hand reviews on specifically the 1.8T Passat I'm also open to advice on my vehicle situation.
