Thank you Misha for the lap, it's an experience I'll never forget! Note: The subwoofer did survive, it was held down by 2 straps but made it way loose after my previous lap. Now I know for next time to remove absolutely everything!

[@swift2117]

Nice car

[@_psyko905]

Tbh you should mount it properly, subs sound better when hard-mounted and it's safer in case of a crash 😉 Nice car tho

I love the R36, such an underrated and practical car. We never got these in the US but I've always wanted a VR6 4Motion Passat wagon, the closest spec we got.

[@TIFOSI_Donny]

And it’s also a shame VW only pair the tip-tronic with the VR6 in the states as well… Myself has a 07 VR6 wagon.

[@DmitryPripa]

I also own B6 Variant with 2.0 TDI and DSG DQ250 from the last production year, trying to keep it in good condition because it's very beautiful vagon, especially its back side. And I'm very happy to see how you drive my very favorite Passat version!

[@radu231249320]

same here, B6 Variant R-Line, but manual..CBBB engine, re-mapped to 210 BHP and still getting ~40 mpg on average (mostly out of town driving), haha.

[@DmitryPripa]

@1249320 Nice :) I have the CBAB in stock, average consumption in city is 9-10 liters - lot of traffic jams, on highway up to 5-6

[@oetic5016]

Bloody hell misha you have outdone yourself this time! As an proud owner of an r36 sedan myself i am very happy to see you put it to the test! Your response and reaction to it is very reminiscent of my everyday drive, bloody good show!👍🏻 Thankyou for the vid from Australia!!

[@ICEcoldNordicc]

The goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 6 is actually really good tire for lite track days. I had laps with my friend Audi a6 c7 bitdi with these tyres and we where blown away that they performed better than his previous continental sportcontact 6. Not a fast tyre but safe, super friendly, and does not fade fast even on big heavy audi wagon. I think goodyear has nailed the f1 assymmetric 6, f1 supersport and supersport R.

[@dees3866]

I’ve been waiting to see a Passat on here and this one tops it💯. I’ve been thinking about getting my r32 Passat on your channel

You know it's going to get thrashed, just remove it before the lap.

[@samserious1337]

Going on a race track or even daily driving with an unmounted subwoofer is kinda stewpit

[@gldgti]

VAG A5 platform cars from this era all handle great. I had an Octavia wagon, on good tyres and new springs/shocks and poly bushings it was one of the nicest sharpest steering cars for the road I've ever experienced. It too was 1.9 TDI. 🤣

[@danka878]

b5 platform was great

[@DoNuT_1985]

So many cars failing to do a lap in style and then a 2000s VW wagon rocks the ring. Back when they didn't give a s**t and put big engines in pretty much all cars... next: W12 Phaeton, please!

[@royliber3824]

Very rare car indeed. Never heard of these Passat untill this video. 1.9TDI Passat would be interesting to see but this one would definitely top it out in anything apart from fuel economy.

I made that mistake once....didn't screw down the sub and ended up dinting the panels in the boot after a spirited drive with loud tunes until the sub cut out....ah memories

[@agricolaurbanus6209]

The Passat was always kind of a secret jewel of everyday driving. Very useful and performative.

I would like to see R36 but turbocharged around Nordschleife 😁

[@kristijancoric3604]

Traffic was minimal, great for throwing wagon around, shame for that yellow flag though. I absolutely love these, unfortunately we never got them here, but did get to drive it once back home in Croatia. Come to think of it, these are available for imports this year now.

[@TheGoose98]

Tips for all the people with subwoofers in the back of their cars: Stick some velcro on the bottem side of the casing. It sticks perfectly on the carpeting in your trunk. Won't move at all!

[@Randomii666]

Please do not do this. It *will* come flying at you in a case of an accident. Always bolt your box down to a solid surface, or at least use ratchet straps to hold it tight in it's place. A sub box that isn't securely attached to the car is a box that doesn't play anyway. All the power will go into moving the box around, instead of moving air and sending sound waves through the box into the frame of the car

[@eduardo7-7-7]

Keep the box out of car

[@Turbine74]

Die R32/R36 Motoren machen erste Laune wenn sie aufgeladen sind. Ansonsten halt cruiser mit schönen V6 sauger Sound.

[@connormorse1010]

Fun fact, these are DSG Misha.

[@Blazs120gl]

IMHO this has no audisteer because, despite being a haldex audi S3 VR6 inside a Passat, the weight proportion of the engine vs car the and the weight distribution of the wagon chassis results in a much better balance than VAG hot hatches/coupes/cabrios with VR6s.

[@CarholicBG]

Amazing car! And very forgotten about. I was really disappointed when they didnt cross over the R36 to the B7/B8 Passats. Never understood why! Everyone loves a good powerful estate.

[@phillxor]

In Australia we got a B7 Highline V6 4Motion, which was almost the same but no badging - same engine and power, taller 6th gear, DCC as standard. Real nice car and slightly more modern than a B6.

[@maedhros0111]

@@maedhros0111 really what? Yes, we really did get those in Australia, and yes, it's a less collectible, basically identical car to the R36.

[@kooskoos1814]

@@phillxorit’s available in Switzerland and Germany too. Sadly a standard Passat but with the big engine, so the handling is probably worse than a B6 R36, but it’s still a nice car. They made the Skoda Superb with this engine too.

[@phillxor]

@@kooskoos1814 yes, we had the Skoda 3.6 too, but it's a different engine here in the Skoda, CDV not BWS, and 191kW not 220kW. I had a B7 Passat 3.6 wagon , and the handling was good, but it was not as lowered as an R36. It was definitely more comfort focused. I never took the DCC out of sport 😂

Everything is better on the Yaris, especially the power-to-weight ratio. A more track-focused hot hatch compared to a VR6 wagon, I think its gonna be pretty easy to know which one will be faster with two very trained drivers lol.

[@beerustheblack2846]

I have an r36 and the engine is mounted transversely and thus the cog is much further back than most audis with a North South configuration. My brother has a b8 s4 and the front end is noticeably heavier on turn in, when you pop the hood the engine sits well in front of the front axle comparatively

[@royliber3824]

It is important for Misha to make sure he doesn't kill anymore cars like he did with that old Volvo 240 (altho it wasn't really his fault, the engine isn't meant to do this in the first place) so I can see why he will say it more often. He still cares that people will have a way of getting back home in their own cars. Even for content, he knows it simply isn't right and it doesn't worth blowing somebody else's car engine for the views. I fully respect Misha for acknowledging everything.
