Good evening folks,
Needless to say, and evidenced by my numerous past posts, I will be in the market for a commuter DD car this spring.
How are the later model Passats? Specifically the TDIs? Does anyone have a modern TDI that can chime in on how well they start in very cold weather. I looked on YouTube and the cold start situation is all over the board -- some start great, some not so much. The poor starts, I can only imagine that someone might have gelled fuel and or weak/bad glow plugs.
I also see they have a DSG 6-speed auto. Are these trannys pretty good? I of course maintain stuff very well, so if it is a matter of keeping to the service interval, no problem.
Have never had anything German so really curious on VW. The seats in the cars look comfy.
