Very rare VW-- 4-Motion AWD (basically Audi's Quattro) with turbocharged 1.8 4-cylinder coupled to a 5 speed manual transmission. Very responsive (unlike the 1.8 with automatic); it really can move out. Gas mileage is very good, and you won't have to worry about your ZF 5-speed auto going out to the tune of $5-8,000. 

The Passat underpinnings are a mix of Audi A6 and A4 and the car has a real quality feel. Absolutely no squeaks, rattles or leaks, ultra smooth ride with precision handling. Far more solid  than my previous Subaru Outback (the one that blew it's head gaskets and $2500 of my cash.) Just a delightful car, full of character, but polished.

I'm the second owner and bought it about 6 months ago. I intended to keep it for awhile, so I did the following: new timing belt, coolant, thermostat, hoses ,serpentine belt, motor mounts. None were a problem--just preventative maintenance. The headlight adjusters were broken so I replaced the headlight assemblies. New Continental tires, 215/60-15. Highly rated (Tire Rack) for snow. Extremely smooth and quiet. New front brakes and rotors. And new Hitachi ignition coils, as the standard units in previous years were problematic. Clutch, AC, gearbox, power equipment, all are great. Shocks like new, no balljoint or tir-rod problems, and absolutely no rust. Nada. It really does drive like a new machine.

So, you say, why you selling it? My 67 year old knee went out. 

Bad: I just broke the left tail-light, not in pictures. Small dent in left front fender lip, dent in lower left bottom edge of rear hatch. I think that happened when the hatch was up. Slight wrinkle in paint just below that on horizontal part of bumper--VW has an aftermarket piece that would cover that. I'll replace the lens if I get a decent deal, otherwise it's $200 for a new one. Alloy wheels look OK but not great. They're painted, so repair (if you care) is straight-forward. The side carpet in back has a few marks. Full sized spare by the way, and unused.

That's my pitch. Always glad to talk or send more pix. Car is located on Vashon Island, WA. About 6 miles from Sea-Tac Airport.

VW delivers first XL1 in Germany

Mon, Jun 9 2014

Volkswagen has delivered the first XL1 diesel plug-in hybrid to a customer from Berlin, Germany. Dr. Christian Malorny received his Oryx White XL1 with black and grey interior from Volkswagen Germany's director of sales and marketing for passenger cars, Thomas Zahn, at the company's Transparent Factory in Dresden. The super-efficient XL1, which first debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, is powered by a 0.8-liter, two-cylinder TDI engine and electric motor, with electricity supplied by a 5.5-kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a seven-speed DSG transmission. With a curb weight of 1,753 pounds and a drag coefficient of just 0.189, the XL1 is rated at 261 miles per gallon on the lenient European cycle. It is capable of traveling solely on electric power for up to 31 miles. "The XL1 has inspired me from the beginning and I am very pleased to now be driving my own," said Malorny, (translated). "With its visionary design and high-tech appearance, Volkswagen has dared something new and innovative." The futuristic XL1 seats two passengers, and can carry 4.2 cubic feet of cargo. It features a carbon fiber reinforced plastic body, and a low center of gravity. It is diminutive of stature, as you can see in the photo, measuring 153.1 inches long, 65.6 inches wide, and just 45.4 inches tall. It is being billed as the world's most efficient production car, but it's unlikely Dr. Malorny will be making his money back on fuel savings any time soon; despite the first sale and the vehicles appearing on the German VW site, Volkswagen has not officially announced the price tag for the XL1. In the past, we've heard it will cost approximately $145,000. Only 250 are being produced. Check out our drive review of the Volkswagen XL1 here or read on for more information in the Google-translated press release, below.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota Prius airbag recall, Peugeot launches eU01s e-bike

Fri, Sep 16 2016

Toyota is recalling 7,600 Prius vehicles for an airbag issue. Certain examples of the 2016 Prius could have malfunctioning inflators that could cause the passenger side airbags to deploy accidentally. There are no known injuries from the faulty airbags, but Toyota says, "This has been observed when the vehicle is parked and unoccupied for a period of time." Toyota also says this issue is unrelated to the massive recall of airbags supplied by Takata. The automaker will contact affected owners to arrange free repairs. Read more at Automotive News. Peugeot is adding another e-bike to its portfolio with the eU01s. What sets this electrically assisted bicycle apart from both regular bikes and other pedelecs is its ability to propel the bike to 28 mph under electric power. It comes with either a 400- or 500-Wh lithium-ion battery, providing 47 or 59 miles of range, respectively. It also offers an optional on-board computer with its 4.3-inch screen, through which riders can customize the electric assistance, get directions, receive sports coaching, and connect their smartphone. Earlier this year, Peugeot also launched its e-Kick scooter and folding eF01 e-bike. Read more at Green Car Congress. BYD is expanding its manufacturing facility in the US. In the second of three phases for the plant, BYD is adding onto its factory in Lancaster, California, where it currently builds electric buses. The Chinese company plans to triple the number of employees, up from the current 400, as it expands the facility by 40,000 square feet. BYD plans to build medium- and heavy-duty trucks at the plant, but declined to comment on whether it has plans to build light-duty vehicles there. Read more at Automotive News. The German states of Hesse and Baden-Wuerttemberg are suing Volkswagen over the Dieselgate scandal. The states are joining other investors seeking damages over losses incurred because of the automaker's emissions cheat device. Hesse Finance Minister Thomas Schaefer said the scandal cost the state about $4.4 million in stock losses, while Baden-Wuerttemberg likely lost closer to $450,000. Bavaria said earlier that it would sue Volkswagen on behalf of its pension fund for civil servants, which lost around $780,000. Read more from Automotive News Europe.
