Talking 2.0T Ftw!

My usual daily driver is the F350 duallys we lease at work and while completely awesome at work, they're not too practical for an everyday use.

So then I tried driving my Q7 for a few days to work but the gas mileage sucked. I was getting around 10-12 MPG on a daily basis and while I don't live far from work I drive a lot on a daily basis.

So I started looking for a roomy yet fuel efficient daily and picked this up.

Got a smoking deal on this out of lease 08 Passat 2.0T with 30k that was loaded to the gills with basically everything but nav.

Here's a pic of it in front of my office with my service loaner









It's not really "me" if I can say so but it's only job is to drive me back and forth from work. It's surprisingly peppy and I like the paddles.


Thanks for looking.

Oh and I fixed your thread title for accuracy.

It's getting tinted tomorrow afternoon. I'm looking for wheels but wanna get some nice OEM 18 or 19s. Eventually I'll drop it then flash it and be done.

As for APR, I have to find someone who does this locally. I'll ask around.

I'm going to get shot but I prefered driving the Passat over the loaner A4 CVT.

The tires are new on it thankfully.

I ended up getting a good deal on a set of Dunlop Sport Maxx summers from Tire Rack for the Q and bought that.

Thanks Todd. I still have the Accord. Despite the high mileage, I can't get myself to part with it and will keep it for another year or so.
