Atura, mechanically, as far as engines go, (if 4 cylinder) they are mechanically similar. As for ride quality, it's like night and day - the Passat is by far the more comfortable car, and the one I'd go for. Due to the transverse engine layout in the Golf, maintenance can be tricky, especially the timing belt renewal. It involves removing the passenger side engine mount, and the coolant resovoir. Golf is sportier, but not as comfortable as the Passat on a long trip. Passat is less sporty, but has the class the Golf lacks, and long trips will be more enjoyable. So, 2 similar cars, with very different characteristics. The Passat, like most heavy cars, can eat front lower control arm bushes, resulting in knocking at low speeds, but easy and cheap enough to replace. As far as developing problems easily, that's a Nigerian mechanic myth - if they're not good at working on a particular car, they'll discourage you from buying. After all, if they can't work on it, they'll likely lose you as a customer. |

ikeyman00: Ike, I have updated you on the parts sourcing - I can't do any more than wait for them to arrive! If you have any better solutions, then voice them - if you want me to cancel the transaction with the seller, say so too! I'm not going to deal with snide comments in the meantime. If you feel you need to get legal advice, please do so. Otherwise, weait for these parts to be delivered, just as I am doing, are we clear? |

lordimpaq: Bentley is as close to the official Workshop Repair manual as you could get. It's a US publication, quite pricey though. Or Elsa Windows. You may be able to get free downloads, I posted details in the Audi thread. |
