B8 Passat Alltrack
Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2019 4:44 pm
Hello all,
I'd like to introduce my new 2016 B8 Alltrack aquired on Saturday. I've been away from Passat ownership for about 2.5 years running a Tiguan which I have to say wasn't a pleasant one right from the off. It was one of those cars that just didn't fit well in my life for various reasons.
Anyway back to the Alltrack - it's the 190 DSG version, just over 2 years old with 11k miles on the clock. I part exchanged the Tiguan at JCT600 Sheffield and it was a very smooth and pleasant deal. It came with a detachable towbar which was a bonus as I bought the car for towing. I don't think its a dealer fit item as I don't have any receipts for it but then again I haven't looked at it properly yet.
So I'm 2 days in and got to say I'm loving it! Everything feels so well built and oozes quality, it's so much better than my old 2011 Tiguan. Looking forward to making the usual journeys to and from work and towing to get a good comparison.
A couple of photos attached. Sorry can't work out how to embed them from google drive, img tags don't work.
