Default Re: Yeah, but would I really miss the S4 that much vs. the Passat?

Get the W8 Mtr. You get alot of car with the Passats pricing.

Default I test drove both, and bought the S4 Avant.

If the Passat had been offered with both 4Motion and a 5-speed, I might never have gotten around to test-driving the S4.

I have not yet tried a W8-powered Passat. (Are they available yet?) If the Passat wagon had been available with the W8, 4Motion, a manual transmission, and a sports suspension when I was car shopping, that is probably what I would own today.

Default I read it. The Miata part is implicit.

If you can't afford both, save your money until you can.

Default Buy my Miata!

great chance to get a really dialed-in Miata. Asking price is $14,500 OBO.
