I have a 2008 sedan manual, highline version and i have to say, i really love that car, instead of grey plastic on dashboard it has wooden brown, looks pretty modern and warm
from my knowledge and experience, its pretty quiet. not much worse than a b8 passat. however this is a pd tdi not a crtdi so the engine is a lot more noisy. overall really good.
what a shitty car. my father had it with this engine, the 8 valve version. at just 140k km the fabrics on the doors and roof started to fall off, the turbine broke at more or less 145k km, it was slow.
