Its the right color....
Will miss the VW though.

The color was almost by chance. The right car at the right price at the right time. I would have gone with black, dark red or metallic copper as alternates.

The Passat has served you well. :=3

I'll miss seeing it though.

The one thing I WILL miss is the capacity of the Passat. It could carry a lot.
At least I won't have to haul my brother's furniture and stuff around anymore.

It's also not quite as fast (but that can be seen to ...)

What made you go Subi?

[smrgol-t-kirin.livejournal.com]

I went with the Suzuki because it's a reliable car in the size I wanted.
It has a decient amount of power, all wheel drive and enough room with the rear seat down to get me and possibly a friend to a con. Although it's not a big name in the US it has a good reputation. There's also a dealer reasonably close to me.

Farewell, Passat.
Greetings, SX4.
