QUOTE(okyjace @ Oct 12 2012, 12:07 AM) Carried out a test drive of the Passat today. I'm pleased to report that the car is pleasant to drive and acceleration is good. For me, I was a little let down by the CKD model not coming with GPS and Bluetooth. Seems rather pointless to have a big touchscreen for just radio functions, though I understand the intention to keep costs down. There is also no keyless feature, but that's not a big deal for me. Looking forward to doing a test drive on the Camry next. You can always add on the GPS and bluetooth functionality later on as well  But with added cost of course  |

Agreed, especially when I got a friend who bought a Passat (pre-reg unit) for RM153k.

QUOTE(kaneshi @ Jan 10 2014, 02:57 PM) Finally, got my new ride. 2 comments though: 1. Rattling sound from driver side (somewhere near glove box) 2. Road noise does not meet my expectation (slightly better than my FD2) 3. Wind noise noticeable at 110km/h 1. Some folks found a noise coming from the front dash itself, somewhere behind the speedometer panel there is something loose 2. It isn't really great reducing the road noise but I know folks who soundproof their cars or go get it Autofoamed. 3. Remember to use the rubber softener compound and rub it along the rubber linings at the doors. Keep it moist and doesn't let it harden. |
