VW Passat Estate - semi off topic but good biking car :)

[Rupert]

Excuse the off topic post, however justification is that it is an ideal car for biking. This has been my company car from new for the last 3.5 years, trying to find a private buyer on behalf of the small company I work for as next car is a lease car, and we have no easy part exchange. The car is owned by the company and will be available from approx. the first week of March (exact date TBC). With the back seats down it will comfortably take my large size road bike whole with both wheels and saddle attached, and my large frame size MTB 29er with only the front wheel removed. There are also roof rails, so you can easily attach a roof bike carrier. It is a very comfy car for motorway mile munching, but is quite low to the ground with a long wheel base so also handles very nicely on the A roads too. The engine is the 2.0TDI 140PS diesel with manual gearbox which accelerates very nicely but also averages low 50's MPG in normal driving on windy north wales roads.

This was the top of the range car at the time of purchase in 2011. You can see full specs at the link below if you look for the "Sport" model, but toys include:

- Fully integrated Bluetooth phone
- Sat nav
- Cruise control
- Automatic headlights
- Automatic rain sensing wipers
- Front fog lights
- DAB digital radio, will also play MP3s via SD card, or bluetooth connection to play any music on your phone
- Independent driver / passenger climate control / air conditioning
- BlueMotion: Engine stops/ restarts automatically at traffic lights
- Electronic handbrake
- Long life 20,000 mile / 2 year service interval (currently ~7000 to go)
- MOT expires late June
- Recent maintenance includes new timing belt, water pump and clutch, so all the big stuff is done.

I'm sure it would Smithy, plus there's a 12V socket so you can plug your hair curlers in and a hook for your thong
