My wife loves this car as do I

We have taken this car to Hatteras Island NC three times and it has been to Orlando, Florida once. Best gas mileage of any car we have ever owned. We bought the car after leasing it for 3 years. Love it.

Classy, refined car and peppy engine.

Comfortable seating and generous legroom and headroom for all. Build quality seems very good and the ride is quiet and smooth. Fabulous highway cruiser returning excellent mileage.

The MOST reliable car I've owned.

I love this vehicle. I own a moving business and travel all over and this vehicle is great on gas mileage. It seats 5 comfortably. The sound system will make you feel like you are at a concert. And the maintenance is only every 10,000 miles or 1 year. Very dependable and stylish all in the same car.

Best value, great condition, low miles.

Great sedan competition to Camry and Accord. More nimble then those cars, great acceleration and handling, great infotainment system with premium audio, XM radio, big touch screen and Google/Apple connect app for streaming Bluetooth music. Love the outside look with the alloy wheels. Great safety features with dynamic cruise control and auto stop on collision feature.

One of the best cars I?ve ever owned

Nice exterior design, the leatherette interior is a saver from spills, plenty of legroom space in the back, and mostly a good feeling of safety and stabilty. The only downside is that the VW is known to loose almost half of its value after 3 years.

Best all around sedan for the money!

German engineering, peppy engine, smooth riding w/ good cornering along with 40mpg and a long list of standard features makes the Passat one of the best affordable sedan deals out there.
