Vehicle is great! Interior is very comfortable and visually appealing. Lots of options including heated seats. Sound system is great. The performance and handling in the car is wonderful. I like that you can change it from normal to sports mode, for a completely different driving experience. The trunk is spacious and allows for plenty of cargo space. They vehicle gets great safety reviews.

VW passat happy customer!
Love my car! It gets amazing gas mileage which is our number 1 priority because we drive a lot. We drove it on a cross country vacation a year ago, and it did great. It is also super comfortable as my husband and I are both larger people. We have leather which is great because our dogs sometimes come along with us. We have a sunroof which is nice as well. I had a VW tiguan before this car, and it had a huge sunroof without solid closure. It was miserable in Texas in the hot summer time. We won't buy another vehicle with that. Our local VW dealership is great and we look forward to working with them on any future VW purchases we make.

Great car, not so good engine
Bought my Passat brand new in Dec 2018. It has been running well up until about a month ago when it started hesitating and skipping while driving along, even sometimes while just idling. It has just over 45k miles and the dealership suggested changing the spark plugs since that's required at 40k. They changed the plugs but the problem has gotten progressively worse; it stalled on me and the EPC light came on and It really started running rough, I turned the car off and back on again and it cleared the problem; now its back to hesitating and skipping again, I'm scheduled for another appointment at the dealership in a few days to try again. Hopefully they will find the problem and fix it this time. Overall it's a great vehicle, very roomy and awesome gas mileage but there should be some kind of recall on that 2.0t tsi engine because it could prove to be very unsafe if it stalls on you in the middle of traffic.

My vehicle is perfect for me!
No problems so far, it is a safe vehicle it has all the safety features I need from warnings to more than enough airbags to reminders of oil changes and inspections. I love all of the features and comfort. It is nice between luxury to sporty. I have a very light interior, I have had my vehicle for almost two years and it is so easy to keep clean. Happy with this purchase.

Backup camera is super useful.
Good if you enjoy driving wider cars, heats up well in the wintertime with seat heaters and air. Sound system itself is very well. Brakes are not super sensitive but if you do not keep the car clean dust will get into the breaks and make a squealing noise when used.

Great, reliable car that I know I can trust on long road trips.
This car has been amazing, I really like the digital radio display and all the option I have to see on my dash display and the steering wheel has so many buttons so I can focus on the road and adjust lots of things, it is great on gas mileage and never lets me down.
Joseph G
on May 9, 2021
Overall it is a great car and hopefully service will be better in the future.
Issue with changing lanes and sensor lights not working. They have been recalled but the problem seems to keep happening. The performance on the road is very smooth and nice. The car is a full metal body so it is encase is very safe and secure. Interior is black on black and very sleek with added features and updates that you can do.

Great tech, mpg, and space.
My passat is awesome I love all the tech inside with apple play, keyless entry, and self dimming rear view mirror. Best thing about my passat though is I get 400-500 miles per tank in comparison to my r32 which got 200 miles per tank. A lot of space as well for my kid.

Sweet ride with comfort at every turn.
These cars (Volkswagen) are really well made and built that is why I bought one. The only thing I can complain about is as a 2018 model with 47000 miles the radio is starting to go out. It is a really smooth ride with great gas mileage. The r- line series really has enough power and acceleration to net your need for speed. Take care of it and will take care of you.

Backup camera comes in handy.
Have not experienced any problems at all so far with my vehicle. It is extremely comfortable and rides very smooth. It has some pretty cool safety features that came with my vehicle such as the cruise control assistance. It also lets me know when another vehicle is close to mine by beeping. The back up camera is an excellent feature as well. It has a nice stereo system with Sirius XM radio as an option. The windows are tinted. And the sunroof as a big guard at the front of it.
Bethany R
on March 20, 2021
This car gets good gas mileage, I have been impressed with it so far, I believe I can almost drive to disneyland from Sacramento on a tank!
New and clean car with very good gas mileage. Not very sporty. The tech on the car is good, but the appearance of the tech hasn't been updated.
Randy G
on March 20, 2021
Keeping the streak alive! 3rd VW in a row!
I love my vehicle. It is classy yet cool enough for a young professional. Has a lot of great features. Love the apple play feature. I use it constantly. I never thought I'd need a rear view camera, but now that I have one, I could never buy another car without it. My car is only two years old and with only 13,000 miles on it, so no problems have arisen yet. I am just going to make sure I stay up to date on any maintenance appointments and only use quality gas.
Jason H
on February 21, 2021
Love my car! Would definitely buy this again.
Haven't had any issues. Only have 5000 miles on it. The car drives very smooth. Cabin noise is nonexistent. Trunk space is plentiful. Stereo sounds good. Love all the safety features. So much leg room. Comfortable seats. Has a very clean sharp look.

Great and smooth acceleration/speed.
The 2018 Volkswagen Passat/tsi has been one of my personal favorites. The performance of the car is incredibly smooth and safe. The reliability is a plus too, thanks to the sensors and automated systems that help when it comes to long road trips. Although the car is not much when it comes to space, it is nice for many other reasons. One of those reasons being the tsi, the acceleration and the amount of speed gained within seconds, seat warmers, and the amount of gas it wastes in just a day! I have taken so many long road trips and I only needed to fill up my tank 2 times the most! The 2018 Volkswagen Passat/tsi is something I would recommend to a traveler, business person, or even a college student.

on February 1, 2021
The car for anyone who wants a reliable and comfortable sedan.
My car is very comfortable. I love the spacious trunk and back seat. The sun roof brightens the car and opens it up. It is moderately fuel efficient and drives really smooth. It comes with apple carplay capability which is really nice and efficient, especially when it reads your texts out loud and lets you respond completely hands free. The blind spot detectors are convenient especially with motorcycles, and the back up camera is great. This car has heated seats and dual-zone climate control which is perfect for maximizing comfort. I would recommend this car to anyone who needs a reliable, spacious, and comfortable sedan.
Matt R
on February 1, 2021
Seat belt warning is weird.
It is weird that the seat belt warning goes off when something is placed on top of the passenger seat, even when no person is sitting there. Other than that it is a very good car, and we are very happy with our ours chase, and have had no reliability problems.
Paula S
on December 30, 2020
Love the color and also the new lights. Like the new smaller steering.
Passat feels smooth on driving. It is strong and sturdy. No complaints. Comfortable seats. We have always had VW and it never disappointed us. It is long lasting. Greater protection. The only thing that needs to be changed are the wipers. They are rough and do not last long.
Amanda S
on December 26, 2020
My favorite part of the car is the media console. The screen is perfect size.
I have had no issues with my passat! I absolutely love Volkswagen. I love the luxury feel of leather heated seats for an affordable price! I think the technology in the car is also upper scale. I have been driving a passat for 9 years and have had 3 Passats!
Kelsey D
on December 26, 2020
You will not regret owning a passat!
This car has been incredibly reliable. I drive about an hour everyday for work but the comfortability makes the drive a breeze. I appreciate not having any major maintenance issues in the two years I have had it. I love the features such as 'car play' where you connect your device through USB charger and all my music and podcasts are easily accessible on my car screen monitor. The car over all is beautiful and sleek inside and out. And the space it has is unbelievable.
Adam C
on December 22, 2020
A great car for the money.
The car is great, fantastic gas mileage, comfortable ride, tons of technology, plenty of room, vehicle has been very reliable so far (11,000) miles. Could have a little higher quality of build, wish they held their value better, there are panels that don't align like a new car should and the engine needs more horsepower.
Charmaine C
on December 15, 2020
Great sleek performance car.
It is a great performance car. Very reliable. Safe car. Sleek and luxury car. Ride smooth. No problems. I would suggest a passat to anyone looking to purchase a car. Comfort is great, paint is sleek. Interior is great. No complaints. I am grateful for a good performance car.

Volkswagen passat is amazing!
I got a brand new Volkswagen the summer of 2018 and it is easily my dream car. I love it so much and I have not had any problems within the last 2 years of having it. The gas mileage is really good too, as well as it is very spacious inside. Would definitely recommend the Volkswagen passat to anyone interested in getting a car.
Rachel K

2018 Volkswagen passat- great car!
The vehicle is very reliable, roomy and great for families with kids. Vehicle drives smooth and is great on gasoline. We also have an infant and his car seat and base click in perfectly with room left for our 2 oldest children. The sport feature on the vehicle is excellent.
Jamie F

Love my Volkswagen passat and it is features.
Had for a year and no issues so far. Drives grade, love the turbo. Love the features like max ac and defrost buttons. Love the interior colors, light tan leather, black baseboard and grey detailing. Love easy access buttons on steering wheel. Sirius radio capable.
Christopher L
on November 19, 2020
The perfect luxury vehicle.
Absolutely love the vehicle. The acceleration is excellent for the highway and you can hear the turbo whistling which I love. The leatherette interior, heated seats and apple carplay really make the inside of the vehicle feel luxurious. One thing that is a little strange is that only the driver seat has automatic seats, the passenger seat is an old fashioned lever design, which is surprising to see in this trim.
Chris H
on November 11, 2020
Great gas mileage and very smooth ride.
No issues with this vehicle. Love the roominess of this VW and the safety features that it offers. The ride is very smooth and it gives great gas mileage. Went to Wisconsin from TN and only took 1 1/2 tanks to get there! I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.
Brandon M
on November 1, 2020
I love my passat, it fits my needs and it's a stylish luxury vehicle.
I like the features I can use with care play and navigation; it is a luxurious feel when commuting to work. The rear view camera is clearer than I have seen in other digital displays and the sound from the stereo system is clean and precise, it makes music enjoyable and relaxing for me.
Lisa K
on October 30, 2020
One of the best family friendly cars.
After a year and a half the air conditioner went out, but it rides smooth..Depending on the bumps it can be kind of rough, but it is a solid ride. It is a little bit narrow if you have more than 2 kids, but we make it work. I do really appreciate that it has the in seat anchors.
Laurie D

VW passat, a comfortable ride!
I love my VW passat, having driven a mom van for many years, this is my first sedan! It is very handsome looking and I have just scratched the surface of all the features! (owned for 6 months) I particularly use the app-connect which joins my phone and all its apps with the car.
Nichole C
on October 12, 2020
Beautiful and stylish with good performance. Gets good mileage.
Well I have only had my vehicle for a month so I really haven't had much time to test it out. The acceleration and gas mileage is a positive. The original sound system is better than most cars I have been in. It is very comfortable and stylish in the interior. The r line model adds more to the exterior. Like I stated before I have only had it for a month so I am not for sure on the reliability. The car did brake on its own when it sensed I was too close to a car in front of me, I found that to be an extra for the safety of the vehicle.
Kaitlin W
on October 12, 2020
Love this car!
I absolutely love this car! It gets great gas mileage on the highway, upwards of 600 miles. And the technology feature is a major upgrade from my 2006 Jetta. I greatly enjoy this car and have not had any issues with it. I purchased in April 2018.
Caren G

Roomy and very comfortable.
This car has comfort, it is reliable, no blind spots, roomy, good looks and has a big trunk. Good gas mileage, great performance, love the color (white). This is my 2nd passat, as I love the car. Looks like a sports car, but has a very comfortable ride.
Carla J

We love our Volkswagen. It makes us feel safe.
It is reliable and fun to drive. It drives smoothly. I also like the way it looks. It has a lot of safety features and a really good warrant. My family fits comfortably in it and loves the way the radio sounds in the front and the back. The trunk is spacious.

2018 passat r-line is very unique. Love the r-line passat. Sporty and sleek. Interior is very classy, well made. Love the all leather interior with gunmetal trim. Apple carplay is included in this model. Loves the clear back camera. VW really knows how to make them! Cannot wait to see what they have in store in the future!
Jeffery M
on September 28, 2020
Class and style when I needed it most.
I do not have a problem with it at all. I get great mileage and it handles smooth. I have traveled more since buying it. I am new to rear facing cameras and digital displays, and those features are fun and reliable. I would recommend this car to anyone looking to find something sleek and comfortable.
I absolutely love my Volkswagen passat r-line. It has been very reliable for many thousand mile long road trips. It is extremely comfortable and perfectly spacious. I have had no problems with it. My passat has blind spot lights on the mirrors which is very convenient for switching lanes. It also has cruise control.
Dylan S

It is a luxurious sport vehicle big enough for a family but fancy.
Love the handling of the car, very. Comfortable interior, very fancy. Love the trim of the vehicle, it has a fancy but sport look to it. Have not ran into any major problems with the car in the 6 months I have had it and I have already put 10,000 miles on it.

A powerful and reliable car
2018 Passat GT is an underrated car. Typically, reviewers focus on stuff, like the size of the infotainment system and the quality of plastic on dashboard, that are not essential to driving. If you like some fancy-shmancy stuff in your car, then Passt GT is not for you. But if you are looking for a sturdy car with a powerful V6 engine, spacious cabin and trunk, and good quality materials inside, like leatherette seats, then this is your car. If you do not use your climate control to a maximum, you can easily get 25 mpg driving in urban areas and 30 mpg on a highway. VW made a mistake discontinuing the GT in 2019.
Jerome R
on September 13, 2020
The passat meets my needs.
The passat is a great car in my opinion. First of all it is roomy, I am 6'2 and around 300 lbs and I fit in the front or back seat comfortably with no problems, and the trunk is huge. Secondly if you like European/ German cars, then the passat will give you the German feel for way less money. Third if you like classic styling with a good mix of modern style the passat has it. Fourth I would like to say it has all the technological features you want with satellite radio, android auto, apple CarPlay, mirror link, Bluetooth, USB, auxiliary, touch screen... Etc.

Amazing safety features and comfortable for growing family.
This car is amazing on gas mileage which was a key factor for me when buying a car. This car is very comfortable even on long drives, there is enough leg room on the front as well as the back. The material is very comfortable. I love all the safety features of this car, windows will not close if they sense something is in the way so it prevents windows being closed on precious little fingers. Has a backup camera when you are backing up and an alert goes off if it senses something is in the way. When driving when someone is in your blind spot a little light comes in notifying you of such, and goes off when they are no longer in your blind spot. The sun roof shuts automatically when you turn the car off if you forget to do so which is such an amazing feature. I love this car and highly recommend it.

VW Passat review Unique parts, tools require service department intervention. .
This car is absolutely reliable. Never fails to start up. Quiet, smooth ride with quick acceleration and great mpg. Simple maintenance, e.g., oil change, is problematic as it requires special tools to disengage the drain plug. Forces you to the dealer. Good news is the synthetic oil change is good for 10k miles.
Elizabeth C
on September 1, 2020
Great daily driver car with great gas mileage
Great gas mileage have not had any problems so far. Oil change is pricey, would recommend getting the warranty when buying the car. Base model still has good features, but does not have any of the safety features such as lane assistant or the blind spot assistant, also does not have XM radio, has backup camera, and good brake system.
Rachel P
on August 28, 2020
Tons of safety features.
Love my car. But one big issue that occurred was that it locked on me with the keys in the car while I was pumping gas. Otherwise, it drives and rides very smoothly. Has lots of safety features, integrates with my iPhone, which I love. It is a very sleek looking vehicle.

The 2018 r-line passat is the definition of “entry to luxury”.
While the 2018 r-line passat may not have that “new age” modern look that many prefer out of a newer vehicle, it more than makes up for it with its elegantly trimmed interior, useful luxurious features, and turbocharged engine with more than enough spunk to get around those pesky Sunday drivers.

Manual or automatic transmission.
Perfect mix of sporty and comfortable. Great control and fun sport shift option. V6 but great mileage. Leather interior is classic and easy to clean. Heated seats and side mirrors. Great Bluetooth options utilizing apps from your smartphone. Sound system is awesome for baseline speakers. Moon/sunroof is a nice touch.
Candace S
on August 2, 2020
Not sure what the most important thing is about this car, but the mpg is great!
The main reason we purchased this vehicle is for gas mileage purposes and it has not let us down. Besides being great on gas, it rides smooth and is comfortable. We have no regrets about buying this car and would buy it again.

The Volkswagen Passat: affordable luxury.
The Volkswagen Passat is what I would call 'affordable luxury. ' the interior is very similar to the Audi - the instrumentation is easy to read and displays are customizable. The seating is comfortable in the front and the back seat is roomy. I love the apple carplay capability which allows me to sync my iPhone and use it hands free while driving in addition to allowing the use of the maps app. I also like the new maintenance schedule for the VWs which only require me to return the car for service every 10,000 miles - this is a real money saver!
Peter B

Very smooth ride. The price is right.
No problems at this point. Very reliable. Manual shift. Gets 40-42 miles per gallon. Very quick off the line. Corners very well and holds the road tracks very good in incline and winter weather. Braking is excellent. It does have a blind spot on the drivers side.
Amy P

The Passat is safe and fun to drive.
The Passat is a fun car to drive and is very safe and reliable. It is very roomy on the inside and comfortably fits five people. This is my third Passat. I would definitely purchase this model again. The vehicle has great pick up and go. It looks great and handles great. I feel like this is a very safe car for me and my family.

The turbo is very fast and speeds up very quick.
My front driver side tire always has the tire pressure light come on. I also had to get new rotors. It also has tires that are wearing. The car drives nice and is very smooth, I often take it back and forth to school which is about 3 hours away from me.

Economical and aesthetically pleasing.
Spacious 4 door sedan. Economical in gas. Tires are a bit too thin I can feel every bump on the road. Drives well. No back passenger air vents for air conditioning. Nice leather seats easy to clean. Car stocked with rubber mats. Has the option to drive in sports mode.
Kris K

Safe, reliable and fun car to drive.
My car has been extremely reliable. I haven't had any issues with it aside from the usual recalls that all cars have. It is a comfortable ride especially on long trips. It is extremely roomy on the inside without seeming like a big boat on the outside. It gets good gas mileage for a larger car. It is comfortable and has lots of bells and whistles. It is a fun car to drive and a reliable car to drive.
Bianca G

Passat 2018, brand new features.
It drives smooth, and the leather interior is great is does not scuff easily. The new headlights are really fancy and ultra bright. The rear view camera is clear and provides good scope of what’s behind the car. The side mirrors have a sensor that allow you to see if there is a car in the lane next to you so you do not change lanes.

Awesome economic car with new technology
It drives really smooth I haven't had any issues with it. The seats are somewhat uncomfortable if you're in the car for a long time they need more cushion. I love the reverse camera really clear view even when it's raining. The car will stop itself if it thinks you are going to rear end someone that's a little scary it feels like you lost control of the car for some seconds.

Volkswagens are wonderful cars.

Great car all year round!
Great reliable car. It is actually my husbands but I drive it as well because it is great all year round. No technical issues so far and I am going to take it over as my next car and get rid of my dodge dart. We enjoy the heated seats and the great sound system. It also has a super spacious trunk that helped us move.

2018 Volkswagen passat review.
A very good all around car that is comfortable, lots of space and economical. Gas mileage is outstanding with good performance on regular gas. The ride is good and it has lots of storage both in cabin as well as the trunk. There are no real flaws to this car.

Smooth riding on long trips.
I love the Volkswagen Passat, so comfortable on trips. Smooth running car, has a lot of get up and go. Has a very roomy backseat. A lot of legroom, in the back. Makes it comfortable on long trips. Has a large trunk also. Really love the backing up camera, and the hands free phone system.

Taylor M
on February 20, 2020
Key points to take away: smooth ride, great gas mileage and plenty of room.
The thing I love most about my car is the gas mileage, I get 600 miles to a tank of gas. The interior of the car is really nice with plenty of storage space for the work I do. The ride itself is very smooth it rides like a gem. I would definitely recommend my car to anyone looking to buy!
Carol Z

My moving office, my big passat!
My vehicle is very basic passat. It is reliable, comfortable but does not have extras that I like in a car especially a sunroof! It’s a nice looking sedan, drives well, gets good gas mileage, I drive a lot for work so I am in the car all the time so I need a reliable car.
Amy B

It is really cool, the radio speaker quality is nice and it drives very smoothly.
The car itself is wonderful, it is fast and has a lot of power. Although, the car lacks an internal GPS system so a phone is needed to use that feature. Also, only the driver's seat has mechanical seat mechanisms to move the placement, the passenger seat must be adjusted manually.

Leather seats 4 wheel drive option seat warmers.
Fuse blew under my seat can't move my seat very well. A pin came off under the tire well. But all in all drives good when in good shape. The radio is awesome satellite radio works and got a Bluetooth adapter I can play from my phone. I love my car so much.

Sleek and comfortable driving experience.

Fuel economy of the 2018 Volkswagen passat se is perfect for my daily commute.
The 2018 passat se has been a great car for my daily commute. Even though I usually prefer leather seats over the polyester - regular fabric - seats, these are comfortable and good looking. It is got Bluetooth, along with an auxiliary input and USB port as well. The back and the trunk are both very spacious, the middle console is not so wide but it is deeper than usual. The only slight 'issue' (it is so minor I do not want to call it an issue) I have experienced with my car is a an above average amount of black dust on my front rims from my brake pads, but it makes sense. I would say I get on average 25 mpg (I drive in the city and on the highway). Overall it is a nice and well functioning, modern looking sedan with good mileage.

VW passat - safest car I have ever driven!
This car has extremely comfortable seats. The paint is wonderful. This car is very safe and it was able to stop very quickly when red lights appear. Is a great car for long distance travel as well as city travel. It has great gas mileage and have I mentioned safe!? Love my German car!

Recommend VW 2018 passat for new drivers.
Had for 8 months and no real problems yet. Runs great, reliable. Enjoy the turbo, very fast pick up and go. Love the features, like heated seats, auto defrost, etc. Car is very comfortable, leather seats that are also easy to clean. Safety features are also a nice plus. Highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a new vehicle.

Volkswagen passat r-line with great seats and technological advancements.
The passat r-line is such a great car that I have had for around 3 years now. Volkswagen has done a great job in making a car that is not only just good looking, but also great to drive around. The leather interior is very nice as well as having some great features that help during situations. For example, the seats have a heating feature that helps when it is cold and those leather seats are chilly. It helps when driving in 60 degree weather, especially in the morning here in Southern California. Other features I think are great in the seats are the ways we can adjust the seat. You can add lumbar support which helps with keeping your back in great shape. This also has a way to adjust height and angle of the seat to get the best out of the seats in comfort. The apple CarPlay is definitely my favorite feature in the car. The CarPlay touch screen is the greatest thing to come out of the car and is such a handy thing to use. The way you can connect your phone with just a charging cable and be able to listen to podcasts, music through apps, and sports is extraordinary. Not only that but you can use it as a navigation source hands free without having to add a mount for your phone. It also is helpful to be able to have it right in front of you to keep you from making mistakes in the road. The only problem would be that the engine or the motor sounds pretty bad like it has aged fast.

Passat the Swiss army knife of mid size cars.
The passat is a very nice all around mid size vehicle. It does almost everything right. It has a comfortable predictable ride with adequate power and surprisingly good mileage. It has a well conceived interior with exceptional spacing, comfort and storage.

My vehicle is 4 door candy apple red. The car is really good on gas.
The car is a smooth ride. When the oil needs to be changed the light comes on to let you know. That is good for me being a woman. This is a very reliability car. I drove the car up north with no problems and when I came back home the car was still running well. It is roomy inside the car and the trunk space. This is my first Volkswagen car and I love it.

Smooth and sophisticated car with all of the bells and whistles.
Very spacious, smooth ride, sophisticated looking interior, seats are easy to clean, lots of legroom for passengers, the touch screen is great. The 2 things I do not like would be that the screen has gone black a few times for no reason and the voice command can be improved.

Drives and handles excellent. It has power when you step on the gas.
I love the 2 liter turbo engine. I also love the appearance of this car. This car drives like a dream. I do not like the android car navigation system.

The Volkswagen passat: a truly reliable and great looking vehicle.
The vehicle has great gas mileage both in the city and highway. The vehicle is roomy and can easily sit 5 adults. The vehicle is reliable and has not required any major repairs. Maintenance is minimal. There are many of the latest electronic amenities such as rear and front cameras.

An interesting detail would be the technology with the car
Love the way the car rides, how much I can fit things into the car, the way it is on gas, also the comfort of me in the car while I'm driving. Love my sunroof and the technology with the car. The Bluetooth and phone connection apps are amazing. Also the backup camera

The car is expensive and many things go wrong.
I have had to many tech issues with this car. I feel that a car that is 10 months old shouldn't have so many things go wrong.

I think this is great sedan after having a SUV!
This is a great safe car and perfect size for a sedan. The interior details are easy to use and I feel very safe inside. I do feel I have to be light on the brakes but I do feel whenever the roads have been icy I can depend on the brakes being good.

All around sleek and safe auto. Would recommend.
My passat is the safest car I have ever been in with it is lane departure assist and automatic breaks and backup camera. The stereo system is loud and the exterior and interior is sleek. It tells me when my next checkup should be in number of miles and days till inspection.

Great First Sedan or Reliable Commuter
Great base model sedan. Gets you what you need essential & is pretty sturdy. Got into an accident where a lady ran a stop sign & I hit her, got rear ended, & my car wasn't totaled but the Toyota RAV4 & Carola were! Dependable, & safe - great first car for a teen or young adult. Looking for bells & whistles look at above this trim model.

A car that is simple but great at a great price.
Love the car it is a great vehicle eficiente, spacious car for its size and it fit anywhere. No sunroof but great back up camera and parking assistant. It has bigger wheels and that helps not get stuck in the snow. It has seat warmers and dual climate controls.

Ups and downs of owning a VW.
Brakes seem to be less than expected. Ac does not live up to other vehicles. Nice features such as blind spot alarm, side mirror defrosters, and sound system in car is above average. Great gas mileage almost 40 Hwy. Low profile front end makes it look sporty and easy on the eyes.

Review of 2018 VW Passat. Great car that's solidly built.
No major problems of which to speak. Car is well-built and of quality construction. Car is comfortable, but not exceedingly so. Car has a bent undercarriage (near front passenger tire, about one foot in width). Unsure as to how this happened. Overall, a great car. Appointments with dealer for maintenance are rather cumbersome.

VW Passat sel - all the luxury car wrapped up into an affordable vehicle.
I love my Passat. It is an sel so it has all the amenities. VW's are extremely reliable. . This is my 3rd VW in 9 years. My Passat has plenty of power and all the luxuries I want. Heated front and back seats, self parking, rain sensing wipers, kick open trunk, adaptive cruise control. It is everything in a car I have always wanted and more.

It has a back camera for backing up, and the phone speaker. Very economic.
I like everything. Maybe adding some more luxury to it. Like leather seats, wood dash and sunroof tops.

Not just for the older crowd.
It is a great car. The performance is a lot of power for a 4 cylinder. It fits 2 teenagers and a car seat in the back comfortably. The trunk space is huge and has a lot of extras that I didn't expect in the car.

Super passat! The ride and looks make this close to my perfect car!
First hardtop I have owned in many years. Prefer convertible but the deal on my passat was too good to pass up! Rides great and looks better! Make it a convertible and it would be my perfect car! The addition of nav as a regular option would help. It already has all the safety options I would want other than nav.

Volkswagen Passat se is amazing.
Peppy engine other than that perfect. Drives smoothly, apple carplay and Bluetooth work perfectly. Back up camera works efficiently as well as windshield wipers, ac, heat, blinkers, seat warmers, turn signals and more. Safe car, has a lot of room, I'd say it is a very large sedan. I love this car!!

Volkswagen passat is a fun car to drive but the parts under the engine fall.
The car is really safe and fun to drive, the only thing is that is slow taking off, its takes a while to accelerate. The mirror did fall off and some other parts under the car fell off as well. They should pay more attention to the parts under the car that guards the engine from water and the ground, that part always fall off.

No regrets for this purchase.
It's a very nice model, no noise, very smooth drive, one of the best purchases, even traded for a newer model, and excellent purchase on my end I highly recommended this vehicle, not the most affordable but definitely something great for a teenager, at the beginning I thought it would be very stressful with the space but after we tested it my husband and I we realized it was extremely spacious for a 1 year old baby, the structure and performance was terrific this is why I will never go back to a Honda vehicle.

Rims with same color as car.
No problems so far very reliable. The car is great on gas and I travel a lot on highway and gas mileage nears 40 miles per gallon. Many features in vehicle for luxury. Touch screen that is Bluetooth capable. Driving is very fun and easy to maneuver on highway.
