2017 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

I love how roomy the interior is. The level of comfort on a long trip is fantastic! Stylish and classy appearance. I love walking up to it.

Best sedan I ever owned/drove in this price range... in any aspects... period... and it still feels very solid and it is holding up very well after 3 years and 47k and a few miles...

I’ll start by saying that I love my Passat. From the items that the car came standardly equipped with down to the only add on item that I wanted, this car provides everything that I want and need. I once owned a BMW 3 Series and the way that my BMW performed was similar of not exactly the same way that my Passat performs. When taking curves, the Passat grips the road right as if it’s giving it a hug. I am very pleased with my purchase and I would recommend this car to anyone.

I unfortunately was in a car accident in my r-line Passat and I never felt so safe, as crazy as that sounds, because immediately at the impact I was fluffed with the softest yet most protective airbags I think I will ever experience. My vehicle was a totaled, every single airbag deployed. They were EVERY WHERE. I am now in the process of replacing my 2017 r-line Passat with an 2018 r-line Passat. And let me tell you, I will never feel any safer.

The 2017 Passat is such a fun car to drive, sporty and responsive. The extra technology package added great/useful bells & whistles. Comfortable interior for all passengers, especially the extra leg room for backseat passengers really sold us on the car. This is our second Passat.

It handles well. The only real issue I’ve had consistently is with the Apple Play. It doesn’t sync 20-30% of the time. There was a slight mechanical issue and my inspection light went on when actually I wasn’t due for a service for another 4000 miles. All in all it’s a nice ride.

This car is a true "German Car", even though it is made right here in my hometown of Chattanooga, TN. It is powerful (280hp), extremely refined, and rivals an Audi A6.

Great get up speed and drives smooth , great handling and gas mileage , has a sunroof and is push to start. Dual control A/C

This car checks all the boxes for me. It is good-looking, accelerates nicely, has a great build quality and is quiet. For a four-door sedan, I like the way Volkswagen styled the 2017 Passat and I think it looks great. Mine is a silver SEL Premium and it has every bell and whistle on it. I have taken the time to read the owner's manual thoroughly and know how to utilize every feature this car offers, and they are plenty. The adaptive cruise control and lane departure are two of my favorites. The Park Assist allows me to get into parking spaces better than I could myself when tight spaces are involved. It will park the car when you literally have only 1.5 feet at the front and 1.5 feet at the rear to play with, and it lets you know it found a spot that will fit as you are slowly cruising by a row of parked cars. I tried it just to see how well it did and was blown away. There are a ton of Volkswagen videos online that will show you how to operate most of the features. I suggest starting there! All in all, best car I've ever had. Definitely.

I love this vehicle. It has great pick up, very pretty inside and out. It also has wonderful headlights you can really see when driving at night. Better than any car I have ever owned.
