SO's DD is a Passat 1.8T Wagon ..... not bad .... prompted this project for more of a stealth wagon for my DD .... W8 Passat Variant AWD: bought a 'roller' , so am currently replacing the engine & rebuilt the TC/trans. Have the fresh engine & trans together & wheeled under the chassis tonight - no crushed pinkies yet ...

I vote for the Caddy! I don't think you can even get a manual tranny Avant anymore...can you?


No TDI Quattro Avant with a stick, and no TDI VW with Syncro and a stick.

My wife just bought a 2012 Mini Countryman ALL4-awd, turbo motor, and a 6 speed manual. Just 2400 miles on it so far, got a set of Nokians on it for winter...still waiting for the white stuff to see how lively it is.

So far, a very impressive vehicle-compact, certainly not as much room as an Avant. That being said, the Thule rocket box will go on top for trips.

Love my turbo diesel A3!! Love it! love it! love it!

Saab Turbo X. Only about 25-30 6 speed wagons in the US. Great car. This pic was sent to me from the mayors office with a demand for money.

Dang, now I'll have to wash it and take a pic. 2.8 Avant, black on black. 18" RS wheels, RS grill, Eibach coilovers.

Not sure about new...but the manual B7 S4 Avants are great, especially MY2007-8; they sell at a premium to the sedans.

Manual Avants are rarity. When I was ordering mine (3.0 V6) back in 2003 dealer told me there were only 14 in the entire US. 9 years later @ 150K miles still runs strong getting ready for next winter.



A few years later added A3 Sportback 2.0T (wife's DD)



to be replaced soon by new 328iT (6-speed Xdrive)

Big fan of Avants, my family car is an A6 2.7 Quattro Biturbo 6 speed manual, tuned to 325 BHP. Cruising at the Autobahn at 155MPH/260 KMH....Nice

View from the top is my brothers 964, my fathers Jaguar XKR and the A6. The 993 was in the garage....

CorrdoBrit

Me too. Although my 2.0T is far from stock.

Wife had a 2000 323iT, followed by 2007 Legacy Limited wagon, and now we're waiting for our 2012 A3 Quattro to arrive. Should be very soon

Audi A4 Avant Quattro is the best winter toy... And the Golf GTI is a perfect summer car when my whife drives the 993, not even close to the summer toy (Porsche) but it does it's work quite well...

Have you had fun playing in the snow with it, Derek?

We have the Bobber version :



with 165,000 km on the clock.

Nice thread. Here is my wagon...

There are some really nice Avants here. My wife and I are huge wagon fans.

Here's are Saab 9-5 wagon pulling the camping duty on Maui.





And if you are a Cruiserhead, you'll enjoy these previous "wagons" of mine.
