Re: lots of audis

Ryan, it wasn't bad at all buying from the states...the worst part is paying the duty and tax on a used car lol! I say go for an allroad The hatch space is going to be very similar no matter what wagon you're looking at...it's when the seats are down that it makes the difference.

Re: lots of audis

Re: lots of audis

well after a lot of tests today i beleive we'll be going allroad

VW sales staff weren't exactly helpful at northland

b6 passat was OK
allroad drove amazing and we can get warranty until 2011 which is fine with me
b5.5 passat wagon is cool but hard as hell to find with 4motion

Re: lots of audis

Hey Ryan,

I was looking at the passat too. I'm 95% sure they were only available in 4-motion with the v6 which is why you won't find one when looking at models with the 2.0T

Re: lots of audis

You can get a 2004 Passat 1.8T 4-Motion Wagon in manual. Almost bought one of these cars from Ontario last fall. Price was something like $12,000 with 80,000km.

Re: lots of audis

ya i was trying to find a 1.8t with 4motion and the 5spd..

i'm sure we are going allraod tho.. the options make it a winner plus its so solid.. well audis are built 10x better than VWs and VWs are built pretty damn well already

Re: lots of audis

easy there .......go 1.8t 04 passat 4 motion 6spd

[R_Ethug]

Re: lots of audis

yea.. the passat b5.5 had enough room.. we'll see how we go with this allroad.. we get warranty for another 3 years on it which is awesome and i'll leave it stock as the wife is driving it.. i like the audi because its built better.. tons of airbags.. better stereo.. the air suspension is pretty cool
teh 2.7T in stock was great to drive.. its so torquey i was going around in 4th doing like 30km/hr.. well thats how i drive my s4 too..

Re: lots of audis

those allroads look great, how do they drive?

[Smarty39]

Re: lots of audis

Amazing for how big and heavy they are...very quiet and VERY comfortable.

So does that mean you pulled the trigger Ryan?

Re: lots of audis

soooon.. probably this friday

having castrol connections i'm having my father in law talk with audi canada to see if they'll cut us a dealer cost deal ahahahhahahaha!

Re: lots of audis

test drove a b6 passat wagon 2.0t 6spd today.. quite nice but man vw interiors need some work.. i guess i'm used to audi too much

went and put an offer on the allroad and audi didn't want to play ball so meh the hunt continues or the ball is in thier court.. i'm guessing i'll get some emails monday..

Re: lots of audis

2004 Audi Allroad posted on Craiglist. Nice shape but close to 100,000 kms but it is an automatic. : < (

Re: lots of audis

i'm not worried if its an auto.. its for the wife

actually after driving a manual b6 passat wagon i'd almost prefer a TIP.. its way bigger than my s4 and having to pay attention to where the back end is/shift annoyed me.. of course i'd get used to this

i want something under 70,000KM

ps.. a4/s4 avants are too tiny in the rear seats for us.. the hatch is OK but not great.. :/
