2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.5 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.

Golden Bull Auto, Inc. review
I recently purchased a car from Golden Bull Auto, and I
I recently purchased a car from Golden Bull Auto, and I am very happy with their service! The dealership was straight forward about the pricing, everyone was very helpful and easy to talk to, and they helped me to finance my car within less than an hour. Shoutout to Igor and Erick for their professionalism and commitment to great customer service!
2012 Volkswagen Passat 2.5 SE review
A lot of bang for the buck
I bought the 2012 in 2018 with about 80k on the odometer. Put 20k per year and only had 1 minor maintenance issue (other than wear items ) with a power steering leak that was not an expensive fix. Averaged 30 MPG and had plenty of power and handling to make driving it fun and confident. Really great on long trips. Has a huge back seat and large trunk. I gave it to my college student son and bought another used Passat for us.

Reasonably Priced
This car met most of my needs. So far seems reliable. For the year make in flattered with all the updated features that's comes with this car. The only downside is it doesn't have a navigation system.
