This car is working well for my family and has a huge trunk for a car! It handles nicely in the snow and icy conditions we get in Wisconsin. We are always happy to work with the local VW dealership for any needed repairs although it honestly has not given us any trouble.

Honestly the best car I've owned so far
I think the best part of my car is that it is super reliable. If you put a little time and money in the VW Passat, it will take care of you for a long time. I've never had this car break down on me, even in college when I treated it a bit poorly. The interior is beautiful, it has a lot of trunk space, and it handles pretty well in the snow (if you happen to live somewhere that gets winter weather). At this point, the drawbacks for me are that my car is getting older (it is a 2007 model) and that it doesn't have AWD, which I will be looking for in my next vehicle. No complaints about this car!

It has a 2.0L turbo which makes for a nice little family sports car
A few things I like about my 07 Volkswagen passat is, it has a decent amount of room for the family, has a very clean look. Dislikes I have are, uses a little bit of oil then normal due to poor gasket design.

A luxury car in a station wagon shape.
Lit had a few recalls and a worn belt which is costly to repair, but it is a sturdy car otherwise and very comfortable to be in and drive. Only real issue with interior is lack of an aux. It is a simple and easy car to drive and a very smooth ride, and just has a few things that need to be taken care of in my case to have a great car.

The family-friendly Passat.
My family has had our Passat for about 6 years now! We started off leasing it before we fell in love with it and decided to buy it. Out of all the 6 years we've had the car, it has only been to the shop twice. The first time was due to a technical malfunction with the car, while the second was because of the accelerator. Our Passat is comfortable and spacious, and is perfect for our 4 kids. All our kids have learned to drive with this car and all have passed their drivers test due to the cars accessibility. It is reliable and performs well, giving my family very few problems.

Volkswagen Passat-Fun and Dependable, Just Like You.
I've had this car for about a month. It gets great gas mileage, is very roomy, very nice air conditioning and the turbo is amazing. The seats can be programmed to remember the driver's preference. The windshield wipers turn on automatically when it starts raining, which was both startling and appreciated.

Living the dream with a Passat.
The breaks squeaks after it rains and it burns through oil really quick but it is a really good car. I love the butt warmers during the winter time. It can nicely fit 5 people and the trunk space is nice when you need to move. It is a good car for gas mileage b.

I've had my car for 4 years and I love it! I don't like the side mirrors, they are too small and also the air vents point too high for us short girls. My automatic parking brake comes on by itself when it's cold outside.
The side mirrors are too small, It's hard to merge into traffic.

It has lasted a long time with proper service calls of course.
My car has lasted me11 years and is still looking pretty good. I wish it had some of the new features like bluetooth rear cameras. I don't think I would get another volkswagen because the services are too expensive.

Drives great and has look like an expensive car.
Rides nice looks nice. Like it if it was more of SUV. Also would like it to be all wheel drive. Very comfortable and plenty of trunk space. Has a v8 engine has plenty of horsepower. Tires are hard to find sometimes not a lot of places stock the size tire required.

It requires premium gas which seems foolish since it's not a fancy car
I like my car because it runs like a champ and fits my family of 4 nicely. I don't like the color as it is the aluminum color everyone else has but it is a sturdy car for me

It feels like a much more expensive car than it is
I enjoy the fit and finish of the car, it feels more expensive than it is. Performance is good, engine has a good amount of power for a car of It's class. Dislike maintenance on it, it's kind of expensive for upkeep

The one exception being a gas leak.
I most recently purchased the vehicle and can not make a full evaluation of the car. It does have 130k miles on it and I expect a few problems which is has had. All and all if the problems are limited to those I have had so far I'd say it has been a rather good experience.

Comfortable. Small. Economical.
The vehicle is very comfortable to drive. It is economical. It very smooth and easy to drive. It does have some issues with some recalls. But aside from I love it. It is not much of a family car because it is small. But it is comfortable for a single person or someone without kids. Or maybe with not that many kids.

I would 100% recommend. Especially to New Teen Drivers
My passat Station wagon is an extremely dependable car and is extremely comfortable for myself and the people who ride with me. It stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer, plus it has optimum trunk room for all the bags and things I need to carry with me on a day to day basis. I absolutely love my car.

Really good car but does have a few problems
It’s a good vehicle but does come with some problems. The AC isn’t the best. The car struggles to crank after I pump gas every time (it used premium gas) I had a problem with it leaking oil before. It has many things on the recall list and I haven’t heard back after I have called the dealership twice about my recalls. I like my car. I take car of it and once the problems are fixed I’m sure I’ll love it more!

VW Passat Wagon: great used car!
My VW Passat Wagon has been a great vehicle for my family. Even though it's over 10 years old, I have not had to put a lot of money into it. Unfortunately, it started to rust last year and once that started, it just became a nightmare to try to keep up with. I would definitely recommend VW to anyone looking to buy a new or used car.

Love my 2007 Passat wagon
My car is a front-wheel drive, 4 cylinder turbo manual transmission that I bought new in 2007. Have followed the recommended maintenance and enjoy a comfortable, reliable vehicle with distinctive styling. (Strangers have commented on how attractive the car is.) Comfortable supportive seats, excellent shoulder, head and leg room front and back, excellent gas mileage (achieved as much as 36 mpg on state highway trips with their 55 mph speed limits), tight handling, responsive, excellent acceleration, generous cargo capacity, excellent dealer service. Found it ran great on mid-grade gas despite the manufacturer requirement for premium, and always changed out to snow tires in winter. Good sound from the standard radio, single CD player. Love all the hidden storage spaces and the push button emergency brake that frees up space between front seats for generous storage in the console. At 12 years old I had the standard wheels refinished, and despite a life in Michigan, where winter road salt is a necessity, it is still running great and looks virtually new.

I love the space in the backseat. The defrost function does not work well at all. I also wish there was more space in the trunk. It does so well on gas.
It is a Perfect small family car. It is also a Perfect first car.

I highly recommend the Volkswagen Passat.
My 2007 Volkswagen Passat is the 4 cylinder turbo Wolfsburg edition. It has great acceleration and hugs the road when speeding through curves. It is a lot of fun to drive. I love the heated leather seats and sunroof. It has only had one major mechanical issue. There was a problem with the oil pump that resulted in the engine having to be replaced at 98,000 miles. Fortunately this was covered by the extended warranty. It now has 196,000 miles with no major issues. I love this car and would definitely buy it again!

There's a lot of space in the back seats and trunk for transporting things.
I like the space. I also like how it runs. It uses a good amount of gas.

Both great size and warranty!
This car is a nice size for my family with a large trunk and room inside the car. But has never given me any major problems and when I had a spot of rust on it, they took care of it for free!

It is very safe and my family is mostly in it.
I love the all wheel drive. The 3. 6 liter engine provides a lot of power. It is also a safe vehicle for my family.

The car is great gas saver.
Braking issues and some hits on the side of the car. The car runs great and its heat at saving gas but sometimes it does run into problems that are easy to fix.

Die hard VW fan: my review of my 2007 VW passat.
Pros: my vehicle is beautiful, reliable and powerful. Leather interior, air conditioning, sunroof, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, cargo cover - retractable, power seat adjustment, rear window wiper, full size spare tire. Cons: expensive to maintain, average gas mileage.
Sherry G

Basically a good running car. Reliable and economical gas mileage.
Looks good. Has plenty of room and power. Rides smooth. Good on gas mileage. Wish that it had all wheel drive. Relatively comfortable on long trips. Tires are a little hard to get not every place stocks them and relatively more expensive. Seems like have to buy a lot of parts from Volkswagen.

Leather Black 2007 Volkswagen Passat Lux FWD 6 Speed Automatic
The check engine light is always on, and I took it to someplace to fix it and they fix it but it keeps going on.It's rather see it's very comfortable and very roomy the trunk is big and the windows are tinted which is awesome. I also has a sunroof power And cruise control. I would definitely go on a road trip to the other side of the United States in a car she is dependable and safe

There are lots of recalls for this car, I've had at least three since owning it for exploding shrapnel airbags.
The car's alright. When in low gear the acceleration is pretty good. Unfortunately, it burns through oil and I frequently need to top off. Maintenance can be expensive for it.
Ashanti J
on January 11, 2019
The car is basically out of whack.
The ac doesn't blow cold, it goes into the wet road mode and will not let me accelerate when the road is completely dry, it overheated when there was plenty coolant and good oil, it drives rough, brakes are bad, the passenger window will not go up sometimes, and the back driver side door will not unlock with the key fob.

My car is my personality. Red hot, fun, and distinguishable from other cars on the road.
I love the color, heated leather seats, sunroof, and amount of trunk space. I don't like that it seems to burn oil. It is also in need of some repairs at the moment.

It was way more unique than most cars back then
I fell in love with the vehicle when i first got it. It had a lot of premium features most luxury cars had. My only complaint that it hasn't so reliable as much as i want it to be

Four wheel drive, very spacious, great mileage, and easy to self maintain.
My biggest issue with the car is that as you open and close the doors of the vehicle the wires that control the locks, speakers, and windows fray and break. This is over the lifetime of the car. But it is spacious and has good mileage! The car handles well and it is very easy to fix on your own in all honesty.
