2012 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

Excellent shape. Looks new. Full detail inside and out including engine. new tires battery wiper blades. Large interior space and trunk. Carpeted floor mats brand new and never been used. Also has all weather floor mats.

I have been driving my Passat for 5+ years, 80 mi/day. The only things I have put into it are routine brakes and tires. 30-35 mpg.

Love love love it! The interior is awesome with the sunroof and the navigation is everything! I can not express how much I am in love with this car!

Fun car to drive, very reliable. Great on gas mileage. Sporty sedan. No issues runs and drives perfect. Hands-free phone.

Worth the investment and holds value. Had one long ago and they are still great. Daughter loves the sporty look and feel of car

I saw this car a few years ago by a friend that worked for VW transporting the cars. I fell for it then. I was always a SUV gal but I purchased the Passat SE. I am in love with this vehicle. The road and highway drive is amazing, love the gas mileage, and isn't made to make for an uncomfortable ride. Ive gotten so many compliments and how I have a very dependable vehicle.

A fine sedan with PLENTY of room for me (6'3") and very spacious rear seat for another 2-3 big adults. Moonroof-sunroof is a very nice feature. Very nice ride and top-notch styling. European handling.

At around 30K miles now and I have not had any issues. The 2.5 is a little slow off the line, but punches ahead after it gets up and going. Fuel economy has been fantastic. Quiet, awesome ride. The SE trim is great. Sometimes the Leatherette seating can be a little bit too firm on long trips. Very satisfied so far!

I have had this car for 3.5 years and it is approaching 60k miles. I drive 70 miles each day to and from work mostly on the freeway. I have kept every gas receipt and average 30mpg overall in Ohio weather. I don't drive like a mad man but also not like a grandpa so the gas mileage has been pretty good in my opinion. I have had to get a new battery (once) and tires (once) and oil changes every 10k miles or so and that's it. I put cheap gas in it (87) as recommended as well. Bluetooth works well with phone and all music I listen to is typically stored on the phone. I really like the 5 speed manual and you can slide it around corners if you feel like it. It is kind of a fun car. The seats are nice and the fake leather is not bad at all. No cracking at all. Front legroom is good (I am 6ft 215lbs) and with front seat all the way back I can't even touch the pedals. Rear seat is huge. Trunk is huge. I have had 4 guys and 4 sets of golf clubs and we all fit just fine and its a mid size car. Things I don't like: manual seat on passenger side but drivers side is electric. The way the drivers electric seat tilts up is strange. It is hinged in the front only and the rear of the seat goes up while front stays down. It leans you toward to dash and doesn't lift the entire seat up like toward the roof evenly. Getting the rear seats folded down is awkward as well. Everyone that rides in the back can't believe how big it is. On a side note my neighbor liked mine so much he got one as well but a TDI and his complaint is about the nav system and backup camera like it doesn't switch modes fast enough and you can be pulling away and still see the backup view. His mileage is huge though mostly freeway and around 50mpg pretty common. So two reviews. No regrets at all.

The TDI combines performance with excellent gas mileage. Includes leather or cloth. The trunk is very roomy. Seating for five is excellent, which is two front and three rear. It can include Bluetooth and navigation.
