I'm thinking of getting a used VW Passat Wagon. Anyone out there towing with this vehicle? Planning on leaning toward a 5 speed V6.

Thoughts??

I think the 1.8L 4 cylinder would be a dog with the 20 behind it. I currently have a 2.4L 4 cylinder 4WD Nissan truck that get's 15 miles to the gallon, and even worse when towing in addition to being a dog.

Bottom line, need better mileage for most of my driving, but still gotta tow the boat to regattas and have reasonable power.

Thanks,

Tim
