Hello Vanities,

    One of my Sons hit his head in the shower, and now has an
un-controllable desire to buy a Passat W8. Keep in mind that we live on the
Gulf Coast. No snow/ice, winter temps are in the high 30's low 40's and the
last time we had a wisp of snow was in 1997. Also he lives in town, never
get of the cement or goes off road mud riding. Worst driving conditions
heavy rains, some fog.
    Now with that back ground in mind. What I'm looking for is a general
users critic of the Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro system, its mechanic's and
driving idiosyncrasy's. General cost of maintenance, etc.
    So wipe off those crystal balls and lets have your learned opinion good
and bad!

Thanks in Advance

Howard
