Love the sporty classic look

Same as above.would like more storage . Classic look and powerful pickup. Didn?t particularly like the used car salesman. Had to fight for price and things that had to be fixed

Great value

Very solid and dependable family car. Zero issues other than tikata airbag recall, dealer replaced it for free . The 6 sp auto transmision shifts Very smooth and matches the turbo engine perfectly. The electronic featrues are not quite uptodate though, only bluetooth on base models. Overall A Great value .

A car for the Everyman

Does this describe you: you hate shopping around when it comes to cars, have no interest in being stimulated in any way behind the wheel of a vehicle, and place practicality above all sense of joy, style and uniqueness. Well, if so, you have found your car. Designed by a board room scrutinizing market consumer data to build the car that ticks all the boxes for the masses. It?s a shame the same company that brings us the GTi cannot provide any more soul to the rest of their offerings. The Passat will last you a long time, has excellent cabin space and good for hauling a family for those not wanting an suv. But it is also a sign that vw, like so many other manufacturers, have forgotten why people love cars. Individualism, beauty in design, and fun have been cast aside and I their place we get cookie cutter vehicles for the Everyman.

Favorite car so far

I just bought a 2014 Passat 1.8 Turbo, and I absolutely love it! The gas mileage is amazing. After we bought the car we took it on a family vacation and we drove over 600 miles before we had to fuel up. Also it is very comfortable in the front and back and has very stylish interior.
