Passat sport have 13k discount at glenmarie if i recall,
offer until end of this month

passat sport have auto folding, both front seats are electric, 18" and sunroof (can't slide back, just tilt)

don't bother with cc until they bring a 2.0 version la, 1.8 cc not on par with the old cc 2.0

if u leave it in D, even if u play with the steering +/-, it will go back to auto after a while....
there is no need to change to N then back to D... speaking of which this is a very dangerous thing to do.. u will lose control of the car...

if u wan to switch back to full auto, push the gear to the left then back again... voila... its back in full auto..
magic leh...

i think holding down the + for 5 second will return it to D too

I heard from friends that the well known dsg problem is caused due to switching to other gears or from D to N while car is still moving..
Is this true?
currently my driving style sometimes I switch to N and cruise.. So I'll bound to encounter dsg juddering?
*
from what i read, it's not recommended to coast on N
i drive mostly on S or manual mode, so far almost 40,000km only clutch pack replaced

SC tech guys mention not to coast on N with DSG

my replacement is clutch (gear slips at 5k rpm on 4th to 5th), car still usable
the common DSG7 problem you're refering to is mechatronic failure, where you can't change gears at all

blink.gif are you referring to the ICE player or just a reverse view cam?
AFAIK stock player is RCD310, you can upgrade it to RCD510 or RNS510 however you'll need to install the reverse cam
or bluetooth unit (9wz or 9w7)

Hi everyone,

I am considering VW Passat or Jetta. Tested drive Jetta, really powerful. Just a bit small, so still thinking to go Passat but it's a little expensive. Still deciding but really need your opinions before i decide.

Few questions.

1. My friend went against this idea. He said he heard many of his friends had services "sux" problems as well as spare parts either too expensive or hard to find (even from service centres). Plus some GTI or polo had engine problems too. Is this really true? Coz it is damn risky if that really true.
afaik those on 6 speed wet DSG (2.0 tsi onwards) have very little issues on stock form

2. For VW passat 2012 vs 2013, same with jetta, what's the differences? Coz 2012 seems got clearance sales. Which one should I go for?
1.8 turbocharged vs 1.4 twincharged, power level is similar on stock (1.4 does have better torque).
both are on 7 speed dry DSG
