I love this car. It is so much fun to drive

I hope it is the last car I ever own. This car is so much fun to drive. I’ve never had a bad experience. I look forward to many years of great driving experiences.

Reliable Car with Excellent MPG

The TDI get a bad rap in the press. I have put over 210,000 miles on my 2014 TDI wth no breakdowns and averaging 50mpg (commuting). I have the 6 speed manual transmission / SE model. It is a diesel so the acceleration is slower than the gas model but makes up for it with superior mileage. Car handles corners well, has a comfortable suspension, and roomy interior including room for adults in the back seat. MFG recommends oil change every 10k miles which is what I have followed. I think you get more car for you money with the Passat than any other car in its class.

Outstanding Salesman!

I went in knowing that I wanted a VW. Mark wasted no time narrowing down my requirements and showing me only the cars in my price range that met every need.

Worst Car I have ever owned!!!

I have never owned a VW, so I thought I would try something deferent. Don’t waste your money. I have had this car for 5 years now. I bought it brand new. I need to replace the whole transmission at 88,000..... and it’s not cheap. I’ll be spending almost another $10,000. Dont make the same mistake I did. Worst car ever!!!

My 2nd Passat- best cars ever- would buy another!

Solid, smooth ride- no rattles. Beautiful German-built quality at great value. Spacious interior and leg room, front and back. Passat trunks are massive PLUS fold forward back seats if extra room needed. SIRIUSXM, phone integration available, plus has 6 CD player with AMFM- 12v phone charger included and MP3 hookup.

Enjoy 40 MPG

I've only own this car for a month and over all I like it, but not in love with it. My biggest complaint is the amount of road noise it has. My previous car was a 940 Volvo and was 20 years older yet had yet had far less road noise. The VW I bought is the TDI SEL Premium and currently I'm getting 40 MPG, I am loving that. Overall I'd recommend the car but don't pay over market value for it.
