Reliable.m car

Plenty of leg room, drives smooth, quite inside while driving and a nice sound system. A great vehicle to use for every day task. Reliable.

My last Volkswagen!!

Bought a 2015 with 17,000 miles. Transmission was always jerky, especially on downshifts, paint chipped easily, roomy interior but faux leather seats hard and uncomfortable. Air kept going out and dealer wanted $1300 to fix. Finally couldn’t handle it anymore and traded it in with 62,000 miles. Dealer wanted to give me $5000. This was my last Volkswagen.

Drives and handle better than any car I've owned

This car meant all my needs and then some. I love the way it drives I love the way it handles it's quiet and it goes to the snow like a beast. I'm very happy with the Volkswagen Passat

Worth the money

There is a lot of room in every area of the car, front seat, back seat and trunk. It gets good gas mileage. It is a very comfortable car to ride in.

Okay. I wouldn't get one again

This car looks nice on the outside looks nice on the inside but has barely any features. When the radio is hooked up to Bluetooth and you're listening to am or FM it immediately switches over to Bluetooth any time you get a text message or notification of any sort on your phone and shuts off your music. There's no features for this car really whatsoever other than heated mirrors and Bluetooth compatibility. Has an SD card slot and aux and Bluetooth pairs fairly easily. Radio interface is super plain looking and has no features to it to make it look any better. Doesn't read text messages and the voice for the hands-free sounds stupid. Trunk is roomy which is good. Design overall is decent, the center console has barely any room in it and has one area for storage. The glove box is kind of small and awkwardly shaped. The material used around the shifter is something that would easily get scratched up. Only things I like about it are the large trunk space, the way the turn signals feel and work, and the heated mirrors. Plus the look of the car. Other than the car being roomy and looking nice, I wouldn't recommend it. Gets about 500 to the tank on an 18.5 gallon tank. Not worth the diesel price imo.

Best car I ever traded in.

This car was perfect for me! It got insane fuel mileage (TDI SE with manual transmission). It could be a grandma car or a fun sporty I wanna race car. My husband wanted me to get a vehicle that could tow our boat and get through snow better. So off it went. Might be my dumbest trade in ever.

Insane fuel economy

Fuel economy exceeded 50 mpg on the interstate over a four hour road trip, typically 40+ mpg in city commute. The turbo and manual transmission provide a fun drive

Enjoy the ride

I like the feel and look of this vehicle. It drives very smooth. I was surprised to have to make repairs so quickly especially with such low mileage. Everything was covered under my warranty so that was nice. Over all it?s a nice vehicle. I get compliments on it all the time. I love how much space is in it.

My Passat Rocks!

The only thing bad about my Volkswagen Passat is where I bought it. Besides that, it has been a great car. I drove it from Indianapolis to New York City and it averaged 36 miles per gallon. It is also a very stylish and comfortable car. I love it!
