    Agreed, very rarely 1.8 came with 4mo, all b5/5.5 engines are mounted longitudely.

              Subaru is the best choice in my opinion. I've owned two modified ones and they were incredibly reliable and fun.

              I don't find the interior *too* bad. Not great, but they're relatively inexpensive cars.

              I prefer the 2.5L. 2.0 can make decent power but is laggy. Not much torque.

                All passats are longitudinal, regardless of if theyre AWD or FWD.

                    Hey guys,

                    As the title states, im thinking about picking up a new car.

                    I would like to get something thats: awd, pretty fun to drive, manual and i dont mind a wagon. ideally i would like to get one under 10k.

                    a tdi passat wagon with awd and manual would be the perfect car but i dont think they exist,sooo

                    the 2 main stipulations are AWD and Manual

                    Any suggestions?
                    How about a BMW 3 series touring? They come in AWD (the X) and manual if Im not mistaken. You may have to spend more then 10K to get a nice used one though.

                      IMO these are pretty underpowered though. Specs seem OK but driving one... feels like driving a tugboat.

                          If it's anything like an automatic, tugboat.

                            the a4 in stock form is pretty underwelming as far as performance goes. Take your GTI and add a whole bunch of weight at the same power. 400-600 pounds makes a huge difference

                              There's a fella from Edmonton on these forums whom I haven't seen in a while.. He has a gorgeous red 6 Speed Avant 1.8T, and a Gt30rs I believe.. might gt35.. Might even be an ultrasport

                              Pat D would be a primo resource for adding power to B6 A4's.
