2013 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

The car is perfect for me and my family. As a tall person with long legs, this car has plenty of leg room. When driving other cars I sometimes have my knees hitting the steering wheel even when the seat is fully back. In the back seat, there is also still plenty of leg room. My father in law who is over 6'5" has no issues sitting back there. I have never had mechanical problems with my car which I bought certified pre-owned over 2 years ago. I'm not an overly mechanical guy but changing burnt out lights and generic fluid from under the hood are as easy as can be. The large trunk worked wonderfully while I worked on political campaigns and had to fit hundreds of yard signs back there. I could not recommend this car enough to someone who has a family or needs to carry stuff around.

This car qualifies all my need, it works well and all in good condition. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! I sell it because I have to move. compared with the price and the value, it worths to keep!

Since the purchase of this vehicle I've put on 90,000 miles which is relatively high, but it hasn't caused me any trouble. No major fixes have needed to be done and its all around a very good commuter and small family car.

I loved my Passat in terms of style. The performance was not ideal; however, I'm sure a more powerful model would solve that. I definitely would not recommend, though, when it comes to repairs and maintenance. The costs are exorbitant for everything from actual repairs to the need for custom VW wiper blades.

It's classy and downtown earth all roll into one. The ride is smooth and maneuvering around quickly when needed is pretty easy. Interior and exterior is beautiful. Thus far, I really like the car.

Great ride. Comfortable car, aggressively priced to compete with other Japanese cars in this price range. Reliable always.

I loved the car enough room in the back for the kids and very comfortable. Nice vehicle for traveling.

Love my Passat. The car has such an amazing interior and totally reliable. I have been driving this car for over a year and still enjoy the daily commute to work. The inside is by far my favorite. Wood grain, black leather and the Fender sound system is amazing!

Front to back, I have become obsessed with my car. As a mother of three, I needed a lot of room, but didn't want to foot the bill for an SUV. The passat is everything I needed and more.

Headlights at night are terrible, trunk hinges infringe on trunk space and crushes trunks contents, exceleration into traffic is extremely delayed, Diesel engine was quiet when first purchased but Diesel engine rattling sound got louder every year I had it. Dealer doesn't tell you maintenance cost more for diesel cars. The only positive things I can say it has roomy interior for tall passengers and fuel mileage is good,but added cost in owning vehicle does not out weigh the minimal benefits. Overall ratting F.
