Hi, I'm just after some real life feedback on the Passat Alltrack.
Are they worth buying ?
Cheers

theres an australian water cooled VW website that might have more chatter on that sort of thing, I found it the other day while searching on something on the touareg.

Are they still basically the same as an Audi Allroads, or a completely different setup these days ?
My cousin has had three Allroads in a row absolutely loves em... bit of light off-road capability, plenty of space for 3 teenage kids and all their gear... all without being as tank'ish as a Prado or the other fancy type fourbys.

Audi makes two versions of the 'allroad quattro', one based on the larger A6 and another on the smaller A4. Both models now use the VW Group's modular 'MLB' platform, which is for longitudinal engines.
While earlier Passats shared the Audi 80/A4 platforms, the 'B6' sixth-generation Passat of 2005 broke away and used the VW 'PQ46' platform', a enlarged Golf 5 platform with transverse engine. The B7 of 2010 was just a facelift, and the model the Alltrack is based on. So no, while the Passat Alltrack and the Audi Allroads are very similar in concept and in use, they aren't the same vehicle. The next Passat, the B8, will debut later this year and will be based on the 'MQB' platform used on the latest Golf 7.

Then you could drive at 100k/h, in the R/H lane of the freeway all the time.😂Calcool wrote:Should have driven an Outback!
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Picked up our new Alltrack late last week, and have to say we are very happy with the car and the service from Nepean Motor Group (VW Penrith).
👍👍👍

Hey, looks real nice, nearly 4 months from order to delivery, guess that means there was no room to haggle the price. 🙄🙅

Maybe not. We ordered our Golf Cabrio last July and picked it up in December and got a pretty good discount.donn wrote:Hey, looks real nice, nearly 4 months from order to delivery, guess that means there was no room to haggle the price. 🙄🙅
Car looks great Craig. Enjoy it.

3 out of the 4 dealers I visited were happy to enter into price negotiations.
