Go Kart Newbie
Had my car in for service today. They usually give me the crappy jetta 2.5 for a loaner, but today they upgraded me to a 2013 loaded passat with 400 miles on the ticker.
I was quite impressed. The interior was fantastic looking with brushed aluminum trim and an analog clock in the middle. I want an analog clock, need to find a way to retrofit into the GTI.
The ride wasn't bad. Definitely a bit more power then the jetta, and smoother delivery. Of course it's not as much as my gti, but at least I felt good about merging on the highway. Handling was pretty good for a sedan. The triptonic transmission is a joke in any car however. It was snowing to boot, so I couldn't wait to get my stick back at the end of the day.
The jettas make me feel like I'm driving a plastic powerwheels toy. This passat felt like a real car. If I had the kind of money to own more then one car, I think I would consider this as a daily driver and make a real performer out of the gti.
The brushed aluminum look is much better in person, but here's some pics anyway. Next time I'm demanding the cc I know they have in their fleet!
