Most people in the UK will not be able to afford it, the company gives it as a perk

I think the term is "brushed steel" inserts

[lancersfx]

Hey EVO6 The Passat sounds like you have a rich experience of the car now...C'mon post some pics please..Cant wait to see the car.

[car_crazy1400]

HEY EVO 6, Congratulations on your latest acquisition, but I also have serious about doubts regarding it being the first to be delivered in India, though I may be wrong. As I have seen one doing the rounds in delhi/ noida and no it wasn't the test vehicle owned by the dealer.

any how,Please do post some pics of the car & the brushed aluminum interiors.

Well german cars are built like a tank. Rather perfect on Indian road conditions. I havent seen a german car making creaky interior noises..

Depends how back the front seats are pulled behind. Even with me sitting the front and I am tall, there is good space behind. I wont say its super comfort but not bad. You could be right that the superb is bigger but I doubt it as both the cars share the same Platform

I have always found the dealer keep the tire pressure much higher than the recommended spec. See if the tire pressure is OK.

Thanx androdev. The tire pressure was a little high. After reducing it there was a big difference. Maybe after 1000km of driving the suspension will set in.

Firstly German Cars are German cars.

Comparing it to the cars in the same bracket viz a viz Camry or Superb, the rear seating is far more comfortable than the Superb. I am not too keen on the Camry coz I find the car too over priced, considering its in the same league as the Honda Accord. If it was CKD other than CBU then yes it would have been a good choice.

It came with a peppy 2.0 TDI engine and a DSG box so it has best of both the worlds. Auto Comfort for city driving and raw power and gear shifting for fun drives without loss in power and fuel economy.

Interiors are far swankier than many cars in that class.

Good rear leg space.. Camry might be 2-3 inches longer though.

Excellent handling. The car takes corners like they never existed.

TONS OF GIZMOS..
Its cheaper than the 3 series and the C class with either similar or more gizmos than the prior..

So all in all, it beats many cars in its class hand down.

Cheersss

beauty !!! overwhelmed seeing this beast in white .. it just looks gorgeous .. congratulations for the buy EV06 and I am pleased that you have the first few which are CBU's and i guess would be made in Germany, right ?
