Alright! Gotta love a German power waggon ... or as you guys call them "estates"

Got any pics? What gearbox on it? Not sure if they only come with the ZF 8 speed or if the allroad package brings the DCT as part of the AWD

Is the 6 on the Torsen? or Haldex drive train?

    haven't heard anyone here in northern europe call them estates, but it's a 7 speed dsg (2013), not sure that engine even came with any other options. and it has torsen, apparently allroads are always torsen. pics i don't have yet, got it a few months ago and it has been dark and now everything is wet and dirty, summer can't arrive soon enough 😅 also kinda wanted something with a more interesting color than dark blue, but this one had perfect service history and only one owner

    thanks, i do enjoy it even though it brings a bit of shame in the current climate situation. oh well, someone would've bought it anyway, might as well be me who only drives like 200 km per month

    I don't think we should be ashamed at all, let's enjoy these cars while we can before we have to transition to EVs.

    Corporations emit a thousand million times more pollutants than private citizens, but they love telling us to think green and be eco friendly while they continue burning the planet for profit.

    The way I see it, you were going to drive a car anyways, the difference between a 1.6 litter and a 3.0 litter is negligible in comparison to what's emitted in power generation, plastics processing and other polluting industry.
