Passat W8 4Motion
What do all of you think of the w8 engine? I will need a new car in 8 month because the warranty will be gone on my s4 and I don't want to have pay out the a$$ if a turbo goes bad

they are discontinuing the w8 half way through this model year.
there will not be a 2005 W8, so either get one in the next couple months or they will be gone.

you should be able to get a GOOD deal
I hear that the W8's have not been good sellers at the US price point. Dealers are trying to get rid of them. Not bad power at all, but I think you're going the wrong way if you want something less expensive to maintain.

I liked it, but word is the engine is as much as a PITA to work on as the 2.7T...
...and the W8 4Motion does not have pass through rear seats and the trunk is quite a bit smaller than what you get with a FWD Passat. The non-sport package W8 Passat is floaty as hell too -- I wouldn't even enjoy driving it.
