How did you like your Passat Diesel? I almost bought one instead of the FFH, but decided I REALLY wanted the FFH. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
corncobs Report post Posted June 22, 2014 Congrats on your new car. I was also wondering about the reasons for the switch. Before I saw the Fusion for the first time Passat TDI was my first choice for a long time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djminfll Report post Posted June 22, 2014 I know I told this story once before, but what the hell, I'll tell it again! When I placed my order for my FFH, there was a delay, and the dealer advised me it would be at least 4 additional weeks before I could take delivery. I got so mad, I went to the VW dealer and test drove the Passat TDI. I was actually quite impressed with the car, and almost bought it. But then I kept thinking that, although I'd have the satisfaction of walking away from the delayed delivery, after the additional 4 weeks, I'd have pangs of remorse every time I saw a FFH on the street. As it turned out, the total delay was only 1 week, so it all turned out for the best anyway. And I've never had a minute of regret since taking delivery of the FHH! 3 machoman1337, B25Nut and acdii reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, the Passat TDI was great but like a tornado siren sounding I decided its time to run for cover to the FFH.

darrelld Report post Posted June 23, 2014 Interesting article: Not the Hybrid review but still impressive review on the platform. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2013-ford-fusion-se-ecoboost-page-4 The Fusion posts the shortest stopping distance (175 feet) and ties with the Accord for the best skidpad performance (0.87 g) while coming closest to matching the Passat in the slalom. Endowed with a stiff structure, tightly restrained body motion, and excellent steering response, it rates among the best chassis in the segment, feeling more German than the one German car here. 3 hybridbear, acdii and corncobs reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
