[A4] re: thinking of buying a Passat

[John Karasaki]

This is second hand from my mechanic.  He told me that the automatic 
Allroad was fine, but the 6-speed Allroad was difficult to drive 
smoothly.  He drives alot of Porsche and Audi product, from cheap to exotic 
daily, so I respect his opinion.

How is it, Brian?
