Our Take:
- The W8 Engine: The 2004 Volkswagen Passat with the W8 engine is a rarity; only about 11,000 units worldwide were ever graced with this unique powerplant. The W8 engine is a fascinating piece of engineering—essentially two narrow-angle V4 engines sharing a common crankshaft. It's like Volkswagen's way of saying, "Why settle for a standard V6 when you can have something wonderfully esoteric?"
- Manual Transmission Delight: Pairing the W8 with a 6-speed manual transmission makes this Passat even rarer and more desirable amongst enthusiasts. In a world of paddle shifters and CVTs, this manual setup provides a direct and engaging driving experience—a true nod to the purists who relish shifting gears themselves.
- 4Motion All-Wheel Drive: This isn't just your typical sedan; equipped with 4Motion, it offers traction that can tackle a variety of driving conditions. Imagine taking this sleeper through a winding back road, the sort that makes you wish every drive was this engaging.
- Pristine Condition and Provenance: With just 22,000 miles driven and a single meticulous owner, this Passat is not just a time capsule—it's practically a collector's dream. Always garaged and maintained up-to-date, it's a bit like discovering a vinyl record collection that was never played, still in the shrink wrap. Plus, the backstory adds a touch of sentimentality to an already rare find.
