2007 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

We bought a 2007 Passat Wagon used with 43000 miles on it, clean carfax, good price. We had nothing but but regret. After one year and 10000 more miles, cosmetic things started happening such as...the black covering over the window and lock buttons peeled off, the backseat armrest broke, all of the doors on the storage compartments started breaking. I found the breakdown of all these things pathetic. After one year and another 10000 miles, the car just started falling apart. The air-conditioner stopped working, some part of the turbo engine quit working, etc. We got rid of this car as fast as we could and took a big hit on the trade-in value. Also, it never got near the gas mileage it was supposed to get (which was the reason we bought it)...we averaged 22.9 mpg in mixed driving; it was too tight to drive (I prefer a much more luxurious ride); we always felt we were sitting on the ground; we found the car has lots of blindspots (particularly when changing lanes); and we found all of the remote and power buttons worked sporadically (the family jokes that the car was possessed). In this day and time, we find it unacceptable for a car to start falling apart and costing money at 65000 miles...especially considering we have a Nissan with 185,000 miles on it, a Toyota Tundra with 140,000 miles on it and a Toyota Highlander with 225,000...none of which have required anything but general maintenance and one air conditioning blower motor (that cost $200). WE WILL NEVER BUY A VW AGAIN. I would hope the newer VW cars are better built, but we certainly won't be buying one to find out.

i've owned honda accord 03 long ago and i just got vw passat 07 few weeks ago. it was a lot better than the one i had before. comfortable, fun to drive and most of all, the interior was awesome! 200 hp with turbo gives me enjoyable driving. must-have car!

i bought my vw passat 2007 new 74000 miles .this car brakes down all the time .I cant take it any more .

Purchased Certified Used 2007 Passat Turbo from VW dealer, still under factory warranty - thankfully. Extremely fun to drive...when not in shop. Car has all bells and whistles except Nav. Very good gas mileage (27 city, 31+ hwy). No real issues with interior componets. All issues were under the hood. I have never had to leave a car before with dealer to wait for parts to come in. This baffles me beyond belief. Car has been in shop numerous times and had same parts replaced 2-3 times! I am currently looking for another car to purchased and trade this one in. Disappointed in depreciation too. Would tell anyone who would listen - run from VW autos.

I just love my Passat! I got the Wolfsburg Edition. Turbo is really TURBO! The only downside I have found is that I have to get the oil changed at the dealer so they can reset the indicator. Other than than that I love this car. Smooth ride. All the features of a much more expensive car.

I bought my VW Passat 2007 used with 69,000 miles on it. I read a lot of reviews prior to make up my mind and go for it and one of the main complaint was the engine noise. But I have to admit it does not bother me, actually it feel like driving a sport car instead. The driving it's smooth and the car is easy to handle compare to my wife Hyundai sonata. I used to own a VW before and i got in a very bad accident, according to people who saw me getting out the car without a scratch, the car save my life. Since then I don't doubt the robustness and the car crash safety of the VW. For this particular Passat model I'm just in love.

We love the Passat Wagon, nice styling, comfortable interior, 2.0 turbo is fun plenty of power and good mileage avg. mixed driving is around 26 but goes over 30 on highway.

Its like buying a luxury car for the price of a standard car. It looks phenomenal and drives like a dream. I have the 2.0T engine, I find it making 34 MPG on long trips but when you put the accelerator down you know it has a turbo. The factory radio is actually among the best I have used. If you're looking for a good daily driver to rely on this is the car for you.

Awful gas mileage. Car was 4 motion and went through the snow well but constant problems with loose front end and ac

What an amazing car!!!!! This is my 2cnd Passat! Had a lse on an 06 and is was perfect! After my lse i had to cut back so I bought a few different used cars and couldnt stand them, took a big hit on my Mini but now back in another Awesome Passat! already put 5k on this CPO car and its perfect! great gas mileage and so comfortable! I drive about an hour each way to work and this car makes it seem like nothing! Will not go elsewhere again!
