2017 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

Found this particular model (R-line w/lighting package))with 16,500 miles on it. Bought it 4 months ago, put 2,500 miles on it with road trip to Florida...no issues (and upper 30's on mpg highway)5, 000 miles overall. Ride and comfort good, lots of storage/leg room, technology excellent (had 2009 Jetta prior), and many comments on good looks. Still have year to go on warranty, don't expect any issues.

This is the 5th VW I’ve owned & the first Passat I’ve owned. Very impressed with the craftsmanship, reliability, and the interior is very spacious. Gets great gas mileage, performance is good, and love the styling of the R-Line package. Would definitely purchase again, but would choose the V6 as the performance of the 4 cylinder is average. Overall I would recommend this car for anyone looking for a great car for commuting, and for hauling around the family. Has plenty of standard features that you would pay extra elsewhere.

This car is great for commuting through the city. Very good gas mileage, and easy to maneuver in tight parking spots. I traded in my S550 Mercedes for this car and I haven't looked back!

Plenty of power and very comfortable ride. Looks and feels like an expensive lux. car. Very responsive. Just took a 6k trip, very satisfied with performance and quality. Cruise control could keep up on hills better is one concern and air conditioner sometimes takes to much time to cool.

This car has plenty of space especially in the rear seat. Plenty of power and gets really good gas mileage on the highway for the size of the vehicle. I got a great price on it and comes with all the options you can think of for the year and how much do vehicle cost.

My car was a Birthday gift to myself. It has proven to be a great car and meets all of my needs daily. Great purchase

this is a very comfortable vehicle with adequate power and interior space. Negatively, there are a few rattles which influence negatively the pleasure of driving.

Great car where a 6 foot 2 driver can also be a comfortable rear seat passenger. Good gauges and info displays. Responsive steering and plenty of go for the on ramps. Good mileage in 30s overall. With good tires does well even in MN winters!

The 2017 VW Passat 1.8 Turbo comfortline is a great all around car. The car is extremely roomy and very comfortable. My two kids love the back seat and report that they have plenty of room. The performance of my passat is excellent. No reliability concerns at this point.

Every car I have owned over the past 12 years , I found several reviews that were negative and others commenting on styling etc. I read several reviews on this car about the lack of exterior styling and how it was a plain and simple car. Hey go look and test drive the car or any car and if you don't like it don't buy it, it is that simple. We have freedom of choice in America. I buy a car because I like it , not because some guy in California did or didn't like it. I like the plain styling both inside and out. It runs great feels good and is very comfortable and responsive to drive. I am old school and the simpler a car is the better I like it. I don't want or need a car with more components then the space shuttle. I want a car to get from point a to b comfortable and responsive and this is that car. I love the car. I bought it pre-owned with very little miles on it. Traded my big xxx SUV in on it since I no longer work and do not have to drive one hour to work daily. Hey if it snows I stay home now, how easy can that be. Check the car out and make your own choice. Mine is in Real White and I had more heads turned then when I had my two Mustangs. One was also in white. No matter how fast a car is or how fast it gets from zero to 60, it doesn't matter. This cars accelerates quick enough to get up to interstate speed which is fast enough for me. I have already squealed the tires twice so far and I was not even trying. The Turbo is awesome. Your choice , buy it because you like it or don't, no one is twisting your arm. But I like it. and highly recommend it. I am a old school motor head, I used to do a lot of my own repairs and own a lot of muscle cars. A long time ago I bought a VW Bug because my car was in the body shop and it was very reliable and no matter how hard you tried , you couldn't kill it. I trust VW and German engineering and am sure this will also be reliable. Hey all cars have problems at one time or another, take care of it, do the maintenance and oil changes etc and I am sure it will last a long time. My son has owned 2 GTI's and that have been reliable and solidly built . Thought I would give VW a shot and I am glad I did I bought mine at Hanover VW in Hanover Pa and the dealership was fantastic. If you are in the neighborhood stop by and see Travis, he is a great salesman and all around decent young man. Glad I went there.
