R36 is industrial waste, I said this sentence. If it weren't for the hype of some bloggers in short videos, the R36 car would have entered a scrap factory long ago. After the so-called station wagon myth and 3.6L engine and other labels have given this car a god-like charm.

R36 is industrial garbage, I said this sentence.

If it weren't for the hype of some bloggers in short videos, the R36 car would have entered a scrap factory long ago. After the so-called station wagon myth and 3.6L engine and other labels, this car has a god-like charm.

A 10-year-old R36 was repeatedly hyped to 300,000 yuan, which is hard for me to imagine. You should know that the guide price of R36 at that time was only 500,000 yuan, and it could still be sold for nearly 300,000 yuan after opening for 10 years. In addition to the development of the leek-style feeling, it is difficult for me to think of the second explanation.

R36 is a Passat travel version imported by Volkswagen before 2010. It is equipped with naturally aspirated engine with a larger displacement of 3.6L. It adopts the station wagon design concept. In the passenger car market that year, due to the high price, few people chose it at all.

The reason is very simple. A budget of 500,000 yuan can afford a BBA. Whoever goes to buy a Volkswagen, let alone a travel version of Volkswagen, but we must admit that people who can buy this car before 2010 have courage and faith. Cars like

R36 are actually not very popular overseas, mainly because Volkswagen station wagons themselves are not very well-known, so the R36 was stopped after just a few years and was replaced by some small-displacement engines.

R36 engine with larger displacement has many problems, with high failure rate, high fuel consumption, weak power, and high maintenance costs. In fact, the imaginary effect was not achieved during use.

R36 is hyped, which can be called a "phenomenal" situation. The blow from some bloggers has made many people notice R36. In addition, the car itself has fewer sources, and car dealers and car owners have begun to raise prices. The price of R36, which originally only costs tens of thousands, has soared to 300,000 yuan.

This is hype, capital will only hype the products you care about and you don’t have, and a wave of wind.

But it is obvious that the R36 wind has passed quickly. From the crazy speculation of R36 in 2020 to the lack of interest today, the current R36 used car price has returned to normal. The price of an R36 around 2009 is around 100,000, and it has returned to the normal range.

R36 is just a commodity from the industrial era. It does not have many highlights. The engine is low in efficiency, loud noise, and many faults. At the same time, the sense of technology and handling are not very good. The most important thing is that as an old car for more than ten years, its reliability, stability and durability have greatly declined. After the preparation, the R36 will cost a lot of money.

So, is choosing R36 really a life attitude?

Most R36 owners follow the trend, and rarely appreciate the value of life brought by the station wagon. As an old car, how many people are willing to drive the R36 on a trip that is just about to go?

I watched with my own eyes the price of R36 rise from the bottom to the peak, and then fall from the peak to the bottom. Following the trend is easy for consumers to lose their direction, but we consider R36 from the bottom of the matter. It was a product that failed strategy at that time. Not many people bought new cars. How could so many people buy used cars?

is just following the trend and joining in the fun.
