2012 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

What a great diesel! A turbo, handles like a sports car. Gets 38 mpg on highway! Has more back seat leg room than other sedans.

This car was great since the day I bought it brand-new. Always super reliable, never had any issues with it. Super comfortable, for driver and passengers. Lots of space for legs and storage.

We purchased our 2012 VW Passat S 2.5Ltr 5 cylinder in November 2014 used, It was previously a leased car, We fell in love with it almost right away. PROS: She is Good looking, Comfortable, Has a cavernous trunk area, Made even larger by folding rear seats, Massive amount of rear seat room even with the driver seat all the way back to the stops. Plenty of storage space on doors with a console main glove box and drivers mini glove box. Handles the mountainous roads where we live with ease. Has plenty of power and is fairly quick for a car of this nature. I love the 6 speed automatic transmission with sport setting, The ability to manually shift the car is definitely a plus when passing , Brakes are ample. AC is always more than cold enough and the heat is always there fairly quickly in winter, Fuel economy is really good in this car. a fillup lasts well over expected mileage with today's ridiculous gas prices. We run synthetic oil and are religious with maintenance . You care for this car properly and she will take you far. The stereo system is killer . The in car phone system is a blessing. hands free except for pushing the buttons on the steering wheel to make the call or answer the call. It works right through the radio . CONS; The cabin filter gets wet when going through a car wash and after a while begins to stink. (Easily changed around 12-15 dollars) The exhaust system parts are ridiculously expensive if you are looking to change the muffler (3 - 600 dollars for the massive muffler in front of the rear axle with a resonator at the back brakes rotors plugs etc are however reasonably priced) The push to open gas door becomes a PIA if the plastic latch isn't working properly and you have to pound on it sometimes to access the gas cap for filling.

This a great car. A performance diesel that gets amazing fuel mileage. Clean and in very good shape. Almost all freeway miles. Drove to Seattle and back to Boise for $68.00.

This was the best decision i ever made. Great Car and no problems I have had it now for 6 years- around 92 k miles.. and all i do is change the Engine Oil on time.. I recently changed all lights to LED.. and installed FOG lights too.. it looks better than New :) Great Car!

This car has met all the things I had wanted, roomy and comfy. This car drives very well and offers all the gadgets of a high-end car.

This is the best car for the value. It was well kept and runs like a 2018 model. Its perfect for my teenager. Actually its good for me as well.

So far the Passat has been reliable...only had it for a couple months but so far so good. Got a good deal on it too. Lots of compliments on it. My Daughter LOVES it!

This car is everything I could have hoped for; low miles, maintained and spacious. I will recommend this car to friends and family in the future.

You can?t go wrong with German cars. I had drove Mercedes, BMW and VW is equally great! I had this car for over 6 years .
