Description

Had to make a tough call and decided to sell my 2008 VW Passat R36 in the best offered color (imo) Biscay Blue to accommodate growing family needs. This is a Japanese import and is RHD. If that didn't scare you away then here are few quick highlights: - VW's VR6 3.6 L engine making 300 hp - 6-speed auto DSG with paddle-shifters on the wheel, sport mode, launch control - AWD, DCC - 135,000 km on the clock - R36-specific Alcantara/leather seats - Stock 18 inch Omanyts (on winter tires currently)...

Our Take:

Rarity and Exclusivity: The 2008 Volkswagen Passat R36 is a bit of a hidden gem in the automotive world, especially in North America. Initially, the R36 was predominantly intended for European and a few select markets, which makes its presence as a Japanese import in Canada quite fascinating. This scarcity, along with its unique RHD setup, certainly adds an exotic flair for collectors and enthusiasts of the Volkswagen Auto Group (VAG).
Performance and Technology: The heart of this Passat is Volkswagen's renowned 3.6-liter VR6 engine, pushing out a robust 300 horsepower. Coupled with a 6-speed DSG transmission featuring paddle shifters and sport mode, plus the all-wheel-drive system, it offers a driving experience that’s both engaging and reliable. And hey, did I mention it has launch control? Not every sedan gives you that feeling of a subtle race car pedigree on everyday roads.
Interior and Comfort: This R36 comes with R36-specific Alcantara and leather seats, adding a touch of luxury to the sporty vibes. The seats are designed to hug you just right - though, there's a little TLC needed for the driver's bolster. The stock 18-inch Omanyt wheels, even on winter tires, underline its serious intent on both aesthetics and capability.
Cultural Touchstones and Future Potential: The car’s Biscay Blue color—arguably one of the most appealing hues offered—enhances its appeal, especially among VW aficionados. And let's not overlook those "wookie noises" from the exhaust that add a cheeky bit of character. Given its limited production globally, this R36 could very well be a future classic, appealing to those nostalgic for an era where sedans started to flex some serious muscle.
