1994 Volkswagen Passat GLX VR6

At the risk of bordering on Passat overload, I want to take a look at another. VW’s radical redesign on the B3 resulted in a unique, angular look at still stands apart from the crowd today. And because the internals were based on VW’s A2 chassis like the Corrado, when the 2.8 VR6 debuted in the sporty coupe for ’92 it was only a matter of time until its four-door friend got it too. That happened in ’93 with the release of the GLX VR6.

To help distinguish the GLX from the 2.0 16V GL and GLS, the VR6 sported badges front and rear indicating the new motivation. 15″ BBS-made wheels hid upgraded 11″ brakes and ABS was standard, as was electronic traction control. The GLX got a unique bumper with integrated foglights, too, as well as a body color integrated rear spoiler on the trunklid. You could opt to have the GLX in Variant form as well – something unavailable on the GLS for ’93. GLXs came standard with premium sound and could be opted with an all-weather package and leather interior – options you couldn’t get on the base model. All this luxury added up in weight, and the GLX tipped the scales a full 200 lbs heavier than the base GL. But it more than made up for it with the extra 40 horsepower and heaps of torque from the 2.8 VR6. This was a two-year only model, as the B3 was shortly replaced with the heavily revised B4; of course, that coupled with VW’s early 90s sales slump means coming across a clean B3 VR6 like this Alpine White ’94 is something you don’t do every day:

It’s a bit confusing why this dealer lists the car as a ’93. Their own pictures show a ’94 model year owners manual, and the “R” in the 10th digit of the VIN indicates this is a ’94. If it were a ’93, it should have a P. Perhaps it was titled as a ’93 at some point erroneously and they’re running with it as that. Regardless, you just don’t frequently see B3 VR6s that look like this today. The buyer opted for the leather seats, but not the all-weather package so no heating here. It appears to be all original and in great shape; there are certainly some minor dings and scrapes, some signs of wear. But compared to what these cars normally look like today (read: in a junkyard), this is positively a revelation.

That certainly makes it a bit easier to overlook the lack of detailed mechanical history. The tires aren’t a great indication of thoughtful care; they’re budget brand and likely thrown on for a quick sale. I’d assume that it also needs a full service going in eyes wide open, but it’d be nice to know if the air conditioning functions and if it has any electrical gremlins which this generation VWs are known for. Outside of that there’s little to complain about. It’s a neat, rarely seen performance sedan, and it’s listed as a no reserve auction so right now a single $2,500 bid wins it. Frankly that doesn’t really buy you anything much cleaner or with better performance in the German world – so if you don’t mind (or even, like me, enjoy) the styling of the B3 Passat this strikes me as a solid find.
