VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

|
First of all, this isn’t a special edition and second of all, it’s only available in the US. Since we got that straitened, let’s get into the details. Carrying a price tag of 26.990 USD - 22.000 EUR, the Wolfsburg Edition (I bet marketers must love that name…) is a fully equipped Passat 2.0 TFSI with unique badging on the driver and passenger front quarter panels. Extras include 17-inch alloy wheels, a four-spoke leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel, leather wrapped gearshift knob and boot, 12-way full power adjustable driver seat, six-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability, heated front seats, power sunroof, fog lights, heated windshield washer nozzles and Sirius satellite radio. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below to see the press release

PRESS RELEASE: WOLFSBURG EDITION PASSAT NOW AVAILABLE IN SHOWROOMS

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced today that the Wolfsburg Edition Passat is now available at dealers. Volkswagen will produce approximately 6,000 of these special edition models.

Throughout its history, Volkswagen has offered special edition models for a variety of reasons. At times they were offered to celebrate a milestone or special event, such as the Bicentennial Beetle that commemorated our country’s 200th birthday. At other times they were offered to further accent a specific model’s image, such as the currently available Fahrenheit GTI. More often, special edition models have been offered to deliver an even greater value to the customer—something Volkswagen has consistently achieved with the Wolfsburg Editions.

The Wolfsburg Edition Passat continues the tradition of offering value priced special editions. This edition features a 2.0L, 200-horsepower turbo-charged engine with a standard six-speed automatic Tiptronic® transmission. Each special edition Passat sedan includes unique “Wolfsburg Edition” badging on the driver and passenger front quarter panels. The Wolfsburg Edition Passat also features 17-inch alloy wheels, a four-spoke leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel, leather wrapped gearshift knob and boot, 12-way full power adjustable driver seat, six-disc in-dash CD changer with MP3 capability, heated front seats, power sunroof, fog lights, heated windshield washer nozzles and Sirius™ satellite radio.

Like the rest of the Passat model line, the Wolfsburg Edition also hosts a plethora of safety features. Including no less than six airbags—all standard, and for additional safety two rear side airbags are available as an option. The Wolfsburg Edition Passat also comes with an array of vehicle control safety features. These features include a four-wheel ABS anti-lock braking system with four-wheel disc brakes and Brake Assist. The ABS system includes a brake-wiping feature that keeps the brakes clean and dry. An Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP) is also standard. Volkswagen uses ESP with Anti-Slip Regulation and Electronic Differential Locking for even greater effect. The Wolfsburg Edition Passat also comes standard with an electro-mechanical (electrically assisted) power steering system.

This special edition Passat offers greater value at $26,990 when compared to a similarly equipped non Wolfsburg Edition Passat.

The Wolfsburg Edition Passat, like all new Volkswagens, comes with a 24-hour Roadside Assistance for four years with unlimited mileage, and new vehicle warranty, including:

-Five-year/60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited Warranty

-Four-year/50,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty with wear and tear items and adjustments excluded after the initial 12 months/12,000 miles

-12 year unlimited distance Limited Warranty against corrosion perforation.

I bought this car in 2007 and was super excited about all the features for the lesser price. But in the pas 6 months it's been in the shop twice for two different problems. I am starting to re-think my purchase of this "special edition."

I have  one that I purchased in 2007. I have been having oil consumption problems, and no one can seem to tell me why. I have 60799 miles on it, and have almost run completly out of oil several times. I understand oil getting dirty between oil changes, but never  having to add 2, to 3 quarts. No there is not a leak. Does anyone else have this problem.
