R36 PASSAT -- VW getting serious

[adam]

my mate (who is a giant @ 6'9"!) picked one up last week and took me for a blat. performance is awsome. i couldn't comment on the handling because it was him at the wheel but it seemed reasonbly sharp. he's only been driving for about 3 or 4 years because he's an inner city boy and until recently didn't really need transport and couldn't find a car that fit. his first/previous car was a mini which surprisingly was the first car comfortable for his size he'd sat at the controls of.
I agree with everything you said kurt but one thing about the seats you didn't mention is that the base as well as the bolsters are width adjustable which was pretty impressive.
