VW Passat Variant - stationwagon model.
120 HP out of a 1.4 TSI engine!
Choice is due to the Dutch law, which offers lower "company car" tax, as this
engine is able to have the car producing a very low CO2 level.
As this model almost is to be replaced, the car could be ordered with loads of
options for very little money.
It's the only bigger car offering this lower tax.
Just 3 days to go...
Current car is the same with 1.9 TDI .
Cheers,
Hans
next weekend cold hands ride with my 1973 Puch moped

Next tuesday I'll pickup my brand new Volkswagen as standard family car.
It will have a 7-speed DSG gearchange.
I'm curious how this will behave....
Cheer,
