One car to do all??

A very, very good question.

However with its clear A4 underpinnings, they have little or no chance of sorting the weak bootspace. So unless you only want a "lifestyle" estate, it's not going to trouble them in that dept by any means.

A hot 4-dr or avant could be interesting for sure...but would Audi let them do it

the Passat but not sure how they really handle / perform?

work has one and it's rubbish, a few rep's that come in have them too and are not to keen, they where garbage in the snow

Strange, I rate the handling on mine very highly, it's a sport so slightly stiffer springs but on b roads it's pretty handy with not much that can upset it. No understeer and a bit of oversteer usually corrected by the stability control.

On normal tyres it was useless in the snow but not surprising given the 235 width, with winter tyres it is again excellent.

Reps eh!?, what do they know?

Yikes, 235 section...I bet even 911 Turbos didn't use those back in the 80s
