The Amazing PH Passat Alltrack Thread

[bigfish]

Got mine on order - 14 weeks I think.

One thing I was wondering, at £67 a month (something like that) is the chance of renewing this after 2 years pretty close to zero, or do you reckon you could extend ?

Took a peek at one last weekend too, looked nice, and inside way nicer than expected. Cracker of a deal

[GBSGR5]

Sorry if I've missed an earlier thread, but are these deals still available ? and if so, where do I find them ?

[Ikduncan]

zero chamce id say, see the recent renewal/extending quotes people have gotten for the golf r deal 2 yrs ago..

Is that the standard headlights btw??

I'm not sure. The led strip for front indicators are definitely standard but as seen in the video, these also turn white for drl. Whether that is standard too I'm not sure (you would hope so as you wouldn't want to pay the £1k upgrade for led lights if that's all you got)

I know that the rear LED's are definitely standard across the range but it's hard to ascertain what the front led option on the configuration website is....I'm assuming it's full led headlights etc...

[S7GVC]

I've seen numerous different front lights configurations on the b8 Passat. Have no idea what to expect will turn up.

Next question is how long from build to delivery? 4 weeks-ish?

We got a stock 150 in metallic with special phone prep and LED lights as options, £188 p/m on 3+23.

Being delivered in Thursday morning.

Took a look at one at VW Grimsby the other day, pleasantly surprised by how nicely it's done out. Glad we binned the A4 order for it.

This is one of the most thorough reviews I've seen of the Alltrack. 30mins long so grab a cup of tea....or a can of draught Guinness like me

You can see the upgraded led headlights on this one which makes me think that the indicator/white drl LED's on the other video I posted will be what we get as standard.

5 hours to go! Really looking forward to getting to drive this car! Not looking forward to half an hour of some salesperson telling me where the rack/reach adjustment is, how to adjust my seat, etc...

Oh Ray, last bit of advice before the handover. Don't bring that heated pad in with you.

I'll tell them it's an incontinence pad ;-)

Ta da...!

Bloody hell, it's flipping GORGEOUS! Drives like a dream :-)

[andrewparker]

I think that looks bloody great, congratulations.

I put an application in pretty early but was still too late to secure a car. It would have been a superb companion to my Golf R.

@RayPike

Don’t suppose you could take some shots of the seats – specifically the adjustment on the driver’s side? Also, are they half cloth and half alcantara?

[soupdragon1]

Looks fantastic RayPike. Lovely colour and those 19 alloys really set the car off beautifully.

I'm sure you must be delighted now you have it in the flesh, keys in hand.
