Volkswagen actually owns many luxury brands such as lamborghini and Audi.

2013 Volkswagen Passat S

I highly encourage anyone to purchase a Volkswagen passat. I have been driving my passat for 5 years now, and haven't encountered any problems. It performs exactly how it should, as long as the owner is diligent when it comes to routine maintenance. This car truly is the pinnacle of reliable. The interior is good, not luxurious, but good. In my opinion, the outside is stunning. This car could be described as borderline luxury for a very reasonable price.

Sport luxury affordable sedan

2013 Volkswagen Passat S

I was actually surprised by this car it has nice power passing power. A nice stock stereo. I did notice I can hear outside when I'm driving sounds like windows are cracked but there closed. The paint on the bumpers front and rear peeled a lot. I really like the car I considered buying a new one definitely a fan of Volkswagen

Good fuel mileage, reliable and comfortable ride.

2013 Volkswagen Passat S

Car is very reliable and hardly ever needs any maintenance apart from normal. Oil is changed regularly and only issues I have had in last 3 years is having to replace battery and GPS sensor. Drives good and is good on fuel. Would prefer it had more power but that is the trade off for good fuel mileage.

- Julia K

The car is actually a sports car and a German car. It drives super fast.

2013 Volkswagen Passat S

Only problems are the prices for oil changes. Other than that I love this car. Performance and detail are a plus. Drive is smooth. Great family car. Lots of space for car seats and strollers. Saves great on gas as well. Love Bluetooth. Almost everything is hands free and great sound system.
