The Amazing PH Passat Alltrack Thread
Discussion
I've got a billy basic Urano Grey 190 DSG ordered. It's at stage 2 of 7 i.e. with the factory.
Looking forward to moving from a 120k mile 10-yr old V70 into something a bit more modern. This deal saved me from a pricey PCP on a Volvo XC60 and is quite timely, having just bought a house which needs lots of stuff doing to it. Quietly chuffed, but not opening the Babycham until it turns up outside the house. I was told 6-8 weeks by the broker, but they did stress that is a pretty vague estimate....
My only gripe is the colour, but will just have to live with it. Seems odd that VW are happy for lots of used Alltracks in battleship grey to flood the market in two years, would've thought offering another free colour choice or two would make sense.

I'm only being half serious but it's certainly something I'm considering! Why would I worry what the seats look like? Particularly when I'm sitting in them? I've had my current car for about 8 years and I think I'd struggle to pick out my seat design in an identity parade! I really don't have any interest in what the seats look like. And I seriously don't want one of my teenage daughters spilling yet another starbucks sugar-laden chocky-mocha-lattecino (or whatever the crap is called these days) on them! Took bloody ages to clean that up when one of them did it.
I'll DEFINITELY be getting a boot liner as my dog will shed arseloads of fine hairs over it otherwise, so I'd rather it was protected from day 1 and then when I hand it back in two years I won't be hoovering spaniel out of the cracks for days on end.

Yep, thats the bit I can't understand.... Mind you we still need to hear from the poster who was trying to see if VWFS were willing to change the spec...

Also really looking forward to getting the Grey Alltrack 2.0 190.
I phoned VW on [0800 333666] they estimate my build date is scheduled for last week in April. So hoping for delivery by end June.
Thinking rear seat covers may also be sensible to protect against my kids.
Hoping the car isnt too long for my works carpark.
Did everyone else get a better deal than me on the standard spec. I am on 3+23 @ £157
Not complaining as its a lot of car for the £.

All depends on mileage - your deal sounds like it might be a 10k miles per annum deal and if that's correct, then you've got one of the cheapest deal going.
Here is a youtube video of the B8 passat estate in Urano Grey. Granted, it’s not the alltrack but they are obviously very similar. The alltrack should look a bit better with its enhanced front, sides and rears.
He also guns it to about 140 MPH down the autobahn….with just the one hand on the wheel…..so it must be a pretty sure footed car

Mine is 3+23 @ £119.99 plus £239.99 in agency fees so £3359.74
That's for a battleship grey dsg with no options... delivery week unknown and I'm not rushing to find out as the later it arrives the cheaper it may be for "my brother" to buy in 2 years time...
5k with NVS? Same as me almost, although for some reason my prop went through at 6k and 128pcm and they couldn't change it.That's for a battleship grey dsg with no options... delivery week unknown and I'm not rushing to find out as the later it arrives the cheaper it may be for "my brother" to buy in 2 years time...
When the deal was first released I made a quick spreadsheet comparing the various agents and main dealers for different mileages with excess mileage charges etc. The difference between best and worst was so small it didn't concern me. So I just called up VW Crewe direct hoping for the best chance of grabbing one of these cars. So far so good. For those worried they didn't get 'the best' deal, don't lose any sleep over it. All the deals were great.
