Renault Laguna III - 2.0dCI Sport Tourer Owner's Review - Alanovich

Nope. It's TC auto. Passat B5/5.5s are all TC, the newer shape Passats are all DSG though. That's why I'd rather an older 5.5 than a B6. Had a DSG in a Touran and couldn't get on with it in town driving (which is most of my mileage).
That also rules out Octavias, as the older Mk1s with the TC auto never came with any engine above 90BHP, which is not enough for my likings in an bigish estate car. Don't want a Mk2 DSG.
