i've been waiting since MAY for my fully loaded 24V GTI. Its a hell of a car, but I've been dicked around by VW for months trying to found out when it will arrive. My lease has been up since May 25th, and the guy that I'm leasing from extended my lease to wait for the 24V. Another issue is that whatever money he will get (minus the buy back) from selling my car when I give it back, he will put against my next lease, so I'm losing money every day. I wanted a VW with tech pkg options, and a manual tranny. Hence, the 24V GTI. The only other car to offer that (i think) is a FWD Passat V6 GLX. I realize these are two completely different cars, but is the Passat a sporty alternative? Will it be quick/fun to drive with a CAI and a good cat-back exhaust?
I love to know what you passat mavens have to say.
Thanks in advance.
