Continentals are not 'that' BAD as some think them to be. I am enjoying my ride now. Now I know why German cars are so good. Not too brad or talk big here but just to share my driving and ownership experience. Last evening after an appointment, was driving towards home trying out a new highway. At first I was just going at 90km/h to 110km/h just enjoying the drive and scenery. smile_approve.gif Saw a few cars zoomed past quite pretty fast. After about 10 mins of 'slow' driving, I told myself since there was not much traffic at that moment why not just try to hit 220km/h just to confirm that this ride lives up to its reputation and not some kind of coffee talk from its brochure. I enjoy driving and appreciate its engineering. I don't race with anyone when I hit 220km/h at that highway within seconds. At 180km/h the wind noise was pretty ok but 220km/h the wind was loud. However, my ride was very solid and planted at that speed. My wifey also agreed to it. There was no nervousness from the car nor me although that moment was my very first time in 20 years of driving that I hit more that 180km/h. smile_evil.gif Cheers to everyone who is thinking of getting a German, you won't regret but it is not about speed, it is the total package that one gets in one car. For this price tag, it has to be a German. wink.gif

IMHO, the Passat is best D segment ride to get for the technologies, specifications, safety features, chassis and suspension and braking system, etc one can get for that price. I think she looks good too. smile_approve.gif

Whenever I think of the manual front passenger seats, I can't help but feel it is a class below others smile_sleepy.gif

Technically it should. Since the VW brand is on the upswing now & more consumers are becoming more discerning. Just make sure the CKDs are up to par in quality.

BTW, samt81 I'm looking to offload my MkV GTI. How long do I have to wait for the Golf R?


Pmed...pls chk.
