hi there to all. Have been reading through this tread and some of the previous treads for sometime now. i would like to ask about the Passat CC model. Would like some feed back from some owners regarding this models running cost and realiabilty issues. currently i am using a bmw 525i(E60) and its rubbish on its realiabilty. more like german version of our proton except it has better power and handling. so planning to downgrade(i my opinion more like an upgrade) to a VW. I already test drove this car(passat cc) and i like it not as good as the bmw in the power and handling but more comfortable then the bmw and it has a more solid feel to it like every thing is well built. excenlt paneling and everything is simple (unlike the rubbish I- drive moneypit). The salesman told me that a new facelifted one is due next year around febuary but the only difference would be cosmetic only as it will still use the current powertrain. personally i think the current one looks nicer. So guys i would really like some feedback from owners of this model. thank you guys
