Whoo hoo! I'm useless. I mean, useFUL!



Passats with 1.8t & 4MO in the U.S.A.

MY01 - 11,072 (9,125 sedans / 1,947 wagons)
MY04 - 7,566 (5,670 sedans / 1,869 wagons)
MY05 - 3,249 (1,721 sedans / 1,528 wagons)

Total - 21,887 (16,516 sedans / 5,371 wagons)

In MY04/05, there were only 1,946 1.8t/4MO/5spd cars available. (1,420 sedans)

I've got one of the 199 imported '05 1.8T 4MO, 5 Speed Manual Sedans :)

I thought the power was *barely* adequate in stock form, but the APR 93 Octane program absolutely transformed the car.

This car is a frigging BLAST to drive, especially in the snow (reminds me a lot of my '02 WRX) ........

Yeah, ESP was very rare on this car......

Mine is sans-ESP and has velour interior, though I'm having leather installed in 2 weeks.

The good about these cars is that they're more family-friendly than the A4.....the back seat has more legroom. The downside is that it doesn't have quite the cache of the OOOO club and it isn't quite as drop-dead georgeous as an A4;)

Nice car, though...........we thought about selling ours about 3 months ago (check the archives), but decided to keep it and mod the hell out of it----saved me a bigger car payment and it's more fun, too!

VWGUY4EVER, that W8 must be really heavy, my car will spin the tires all the way through 3rd gear <GRIN>.................................................(in the snow, of course!)

Cheers!

I didn't know the ESP was rare. Mine has heated vinyl and ESP.

The BT comments are wishful thinking at this point, unless someone wants to do custom programming. Go shopping for any turbo upgrade for an AWM Passat, or exhaust for a 1.8t 4mo. Once I wrap up some other projects I will solve those problems, but for now APR chip makes it a good driver.

Okie-dokie.

In MY04, there were 118 1.8t/4MO wagons with 5MT and leather. Of those, 29 were Silverstone (that's 24.6%). There were 24 (20.3%) in Stonehenge and 24 (20.3%) in Reflex Silver. The remaining 41 came in black, blue graphite, blue silver, northern green, shadow blue, samoa red and wheat beige.

Not sure if I can find one in the immediate area or not.
