New B8 Passat Estate GT 2.0 TSI 220PS

I collected my brand new B8 Passat Estate GT 2.0 TSI 220PS last week. Here are my thoughts after first week of ownership.

Spec:
Harvard Blue Metallic
Titan Black Nappa Leather
Integrated Child Seats
Rear View Camera
Electric Tailgate
Heated front windscreen
Heated steering wheel
Dynaudio "confidence" soundpack
Sports pack for DCC
Swiveling towbar

The 2.0 TSI engine also brings DCC, Premium LED headlights and the fake exhausts from the R-line trim.

I selected GT over R-line as you cannot get the integrated child seats and full leather in R-line. I also preferred the GT alloys, plus a saving of around 2k due to a some of options being cheaper on GT trim.

As the car is brand new and i plan to keep it for a long time i have yet to fully test it's performance until the engine has a few more hundred miles on it. So far it is a very relaxing drive, plenty of torque.

All the tech is great, especially the automatic cruise and active display.

If you are choosing a B8 and want any detail about any of the options please ask.
