Hi folks. This is Taner from Adana / Turkey and we, too, love the Passat, though here the sedan outsells the variant by 1 to 10. Due to harsh taxation laws, buying a VW Passat, or any car that has a displacement of more than 1600 cm³, is severely punished here and therefore, thanks to VW, we can buy the new TSI (T-FSI to say) engine with 1.4 litres (yes, one point four) and 122 hp for about $40k. We know, don't tell us, you guys get the fully loaded version for that price.

I'll try to post more pics of our Passats here in Turkey. www.vw.com.tr is in Turkish but maybe you'd want to take a look, eh?

Ah yes, they DON'T ship the 3.6 V6 280 HP to Turkey, nor do they ship the 4Motions with the coveted DSG gearbox. The cheapest version you can buy, the 2.0T (called 2.0 T-FSI here) with 200 hp is the most expensive version here and costs about $75k.

BMWs and Mercs, they cost triple!

Hope to hear from you people! Bye and take care. Ah, Incirlik Air Base is just 2 miles from where I live. And I love the taste of Skippy Extra Crunchy!

small world

Dear Friends,

Taner & I are members of a similar Turkish forum dealing with the love for the Passat.

Whilst surfing the net, it was a pleasant surprise for me to come accross PassatWorld.

As my friend Taner said, we have a somewhat limited range of Passat's offered in the Turkish market due to many different types of taxes imposed on the consumer by the goverment so the only way to still offer cars that are within the league of many buyers is to keep the engines small etc.

Anyway, we look forward to hearing from you.
All the best
Izzet

:)Hi! from Turkey to all passatlovers of all the world..This is my second passat.First was 99 model 1,8 Basicline hybrid {both gas and LPG (liquid petrol gas)} and now I've bought a new 2003 Model Passat Comfortline hybrid with 130 hp force...As far as, I've purchased this car I investigated the prices in different countries of the world.For instance, When i searched used cars in the net in USA Unfourtanely i saw the view that has very low prices which can't not be compared the ones in Turkey.What an unprecedent car taxes in Turkey..I support my friend above.If i compare the prices between Turkey and USA, my car's price is averagely 2500-10000 USD in USA However the price band is meanly 16500-22000 USD in Turkey..That is why what do you think about the prices if you'll compare between your country (or USA) and Turkey...I'm looking forward your comments especially about the prices and the other features about this model...See You....:thumbup:
