estate only IMHO, but i've never seen one listed on autotrader

tbh a B8 A4 2.0T quattro would be what i go for tho. they remap to 305bhp at Stage 1.

Rarer than rocking horse sh*t. Only seen two for sale in 2012, I think one of them was in Australia  :rolleye: Lovely cars for sure. Love the estate. The mpg is even worse than the R32, which I can just about stomach  :sick:

Try the 3.6 CC Passat. There are a few on Autotrader and look much better than the R36 plus have top specs and decent prices. Still have DSG and 300bhp too!  :happy2:

I have always liked these, nice and subtle and always very well specced and not many people know there any different from a normal passat. If you can afford the fuel and running costs then why not.

Still to 99.9% of the population it will just be a Passat. If thats what your after then go for it! Nice car!

I like the idea of the CC version though!  :love:

Trouble is there are only 9 in existence so finding one will not be easy!

There are two on the 'trader at the moment. For me it would have to be an R36 estate.
