Ladies and gentlemen, pay heed to this cautionary tale. If you want a reliable car, don't buy anything from VAG.

Be grateful you didn't swap it for a Passat R36. VW Australia fit illegal tyres as standard!
I test drove an R36 looking for a replacement for the R32. The DSG gearbox pigrooted bigtime (as in jerked and shuddered like a manual gearbox driven a gear too high by an unsympathetic driver) on a car with less than 1,000km on it.

My Honda has just under 1,000km on it now and is smooth, quiet.. and very economical.

Jeez.. I am getting old
