Anyone else think this seems really low for a turbo Passat?

I mean. The deal itself isn't that great because of the krebitz score. But that's a pretty solid price.

It is about a second faster to 60 than the cx5 that coined that term
Under 8 seconds we're getting into dangerously fast category

FL driving is a whole different animal. Rarely do people need to get over 35mph in Miami. This car more than satisfies the needs of Trudy's mom. :iono:

When I had a passat rental (when the 1.8t were new), the only time I really exceeded 35 were on highways and heading to keywest. Southbeach and downtown its 35 city. Taking road trips in florida with left lane drivers driving 55 :rolleyes:

If you go 40 in a 35 down there you'll be looking for trouble. My dad's early 90s caddy STS was more then adequate on the A1A
