2012 Volkswagen Passat 3.6 SE review

We bought our 2012 VW Passat brand new and now it only

We bought our 2012 VW Passat brand new and now it only has 80,000 miles on it. It has only needed tires, battery, and regular maintenance. Equipped with the five-cylinder engine it could use more power but has not used a drop of oil since we have owned it.
