Re: car to get other than passat (navice_13)

I would be A4 all the way.

You guys keep talking about how the A4 is so small...It dose lack truck space in Wagon form (passat has 39ft^2 while A4 only has 27ft^2) , but in passenger space, you talking less then 2 ft^2 difference between them. All passenger space dimensions are with-in about 0.5-1.0 inch of each other. Front leg room is the same, rear leg room is 1" differnce.

And when you compare sedan to sedan passat has 15ft^2 of trunk space, while the tiny A4 has 13.4ft^2. wow a whole 1.6ft^2

I like wagons and there isn't much out there... I would probably get a Volvo v40 as the A4 is too expensive for me.

It's even closer when you look at a 4Motion Passat (which has less trunk space).

I think the prejudice is leftover from the previous gen (B5) A4 that really was a fair bit smaller. The new one is virtually the same size.

TL Type S--260hp, Independent rear suspension, GPS etc. Oh and they drive great.
Mazda 6- Interior isn't too bad, but it's slightly off the mark. Body kit on the good ones is lame. Though they drive pretty nice.

Used Audi A6 4.2

The Saab Wagon is for some reason very appealing to me. I don't even have a family-

Re: car to get other than passat (Macabre)

I want to know what toyota is smoking that they havn't brought it back yet.

I know its prices got pretty lofty when it finally bowed out, (just like the 300zx, 3000gt ect...) but its time it came back!

I think they're smoking some of the finest "the old car didn't sell worth a damn" available

Rumor has it there may be a new one 2005-2006. Hey look.. we're off topic.
