2.0 TD one of the best diesels in the world!

The Germans ! Diesel drama with Volkswagen was a pure fars just to get a very strong competitor off the market . Today GM diesel is advertised with a logo 'they are as good as Volkswagen diesel' ! Any VW diesel will last you a *lifetime. You look after it by the book and you will see 500.000 km on it and still running. My last VW diesel sold @ 375.00 km (running and looking like brand new) . Today I own 2.0 td 2015 Golf and 2.5 2014 Passat and its a pleasure driving them. The only thing I find is a dull interior. To much plastic and black interior makes it more dull. For the money and quality you can't get a better vehicle (unless you have a rich uncle and he buys you a Mercedes) .

LOVE IT!

I love the look of this car inside and out. I love the car! The power it has is unreal. It is very fast and fun to drive! The downfall is how delayed the acceleration is to go fast. As well as the delay in the back up camera. It is diesel so its fuel economy is killer! The heavy idle due to being a diesel takes getting used to. Its comfortable a nd more roomy than it appears. Great car and so far my favorite! As SAID if I could change anything on It, it would be the idle and the slow acceleration. That's It!

I miss this car

This may have been one of my favorite vehicles I have ever owned. So much leg room in both the front & back seats. Never had 1 mechanical problem. Good gas mileage, smooth ride. Even in an accident it was dependable..... Car was totaled by a navigator and we walked away without a scratch. Loved this car.

CPO best value for a large sedan.

I looked at a number of German SUVs,SAVs,and sedans. I'm 6'5" and have kids. I can sit in the front seat and fit behind that seat in this car. Also ever since the dieselgate situation, vw dropped thier prices big time. I didn't buy a tdi, but these cars are insanely safe and way underpriced for the wrong reasons. I'm not underplaying VW as a bad player in dieselgate, but be logical. Buying a CPO Passat with 32k miles for just over 10k is like buying a stock at the bottom of it's movement. Mercedes and BMW are not as reliable/low cost to maintain and their quality is superior to a lot of options in another dealership.

The most reliable car I've ever owned

I like the balance of comfort performance and reliability. Extremely low cost of ownership for a great ride. A few rattling noises from the seat belt fastener but love the car. Amazing milage for the performance.

Highly recommended!

Great gas mileage! I average 30-34 mpg! Performance gets 4 stars only because the 5 cylinder engine needs more power. I believe the 6 cylinder is the way to go. But overall great car. I have had it for 2 and half years and put 35k miles on it with NO problems at all. Highly Recommended
