Re: Quick summer mode pics...

Not bad...looks decent, but i aint big on the wheels. They really dont flow too well with your car.

Not sure if a passat would get 1500, but back when I had my 05 golf TDI, I made it to osoyoos (just over 700k) and my needle was pointing exactly at half. Oh and I wasnt going easy on the gas...

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

I must say, torque is great. Coming back from Kelowna through Roger's Pass, I actually had to ask the wife if we were going up the mountain or down. I was going 140-150 up the mountain and there was still plenty of power for more........and $55 to fill in Calgary, drive to Kelowna, drive around a few days and drive back to Calgary with 160km still left in the tank doesn't hurt.........

now, back on topic.

I somewhat doubt you're getting over 1500+ km a tank.

(607km to Kelowna, 607km back to Calgary, 100 or so in Kelowna, and still having 160km)

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

yours is just as nice, mine's just faster

Yes... it is faster. I have a lowly chipped 1.8t. I do have 4motion, so that kinda rocks in the winter. At least that's what I keep telling myself so I don't get mad that it isn't a diesel with crazy torque.

ironic though.......you bought Ridelikeme's wheels and he bought mine

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

Thanks for the compliments guys, but popp's car is much nicer and he has better pic locations.

I work downtown but not around Joeys. Maybe there is a triplet passat?

The rims are from ridelikeme. I think they suit the car pretty well but I might make some different centercaps.

Re: Quick summer mode pics...

Do you happen to work in the Eau Claire area? I always see a passat that looks similar to yours parked kind of by Joeys at night. Car looks great and I'm liking the rims.
