Would an advert like the above not put you off slightly (assuming you were on the lookout for a Passat), or do people prefer 'comedy' in an ad?

It's quite gentle humour.

I was put off by the pictures. Didn't even get as far as the text.

The 'comedy' puts me off, though not as much as a side exit exhaust on a diesel Passat puts me off.

Even if it makes a 'woooooooo' noise?

How long would the intercooler last on the front like that? must get battered by stones, etc

What a pointless way to modify a Passat, imo.

"EPIC noise".... diesel vag engine.... Hmmmm....

I think I speak for everyone here when I say I'd love a car that sounds like a ghost, but this is a diesel Passat. It will sound like a diesel Passat.
