Probably because they're a size bigger - the Passat's pitched against the
A4.

 

No it ain't - the Passat is a full size up from the A4. It's actually
got more interior space, leg(and elbow)-room wise, than the A6 Avant.

One might argue that it places more alongside the new A5, but I don't
think (without having tested one) that's quite as big, so possibly
not.

'Proper quattro' is a mechanical system with a torque sensing diff.

Transverse engined cars (ie. Golf based stuff) use a hydraulic system.

The main difference in road use is that the Haldex reverts to something
like 90% FWD most of the time, whereas quattro delivers 60% to the rear
in normal use.

 

New A4 is significantly bigger than the old one - pretty much the same
size as the current Passat.

I don't think it really places it alongside the A5, though, 'cos the A5
is a coupe - although you could argue the Passat CC sits in the same
class as the A5.

 

Just you wait until someone posts about their cat..

 

Nowt wrong with a bit of danger, cage-boy.

If you don't want the P6000's - I can make good use of 'em on mine?

btw did it lock up both sides? I had an issue with a sticking caliper
resulting in one front locking up far too easily.

 

O Rly?

 

I nearly ran my cat over last night.

 

Not tested one, as they came out after I'd ordered the passat.

<googles>

Yes, they seem to be much more similar in size, just a bit shorter, a
bit narrower inside, a bit less cargo space. But definitely in the
same ballpark now.

Heh.
