VW Passat TDI

Go out and grab a VW Passat TDI...... It looks like they will not be available for a long while. It is a shame that the vehicles will not be available - I hold California responsible. :- ( The performance, dependability and construction of this car is unsurpassed. Grab yours up today before you can no longer purchase one.

A 2013 Passat TDI/SEL

HP is rated at 143, but the effect is really closer to 200 HP. Very good acceleration, when needed. Excellent mileage: 2 1/2 tanks of Diesel on a trip of 1,718 miles up through the redwoods with car carrying a load of suitcases. Not even one tank of Diesel used on a trip to Cambria including driving around the area there. Both trips originated from La Crescenta, California. AC & Heating system works perfectly. No danger of freezing or heat stroke in the car! Other than the normal usage in its first 1,000 miles, the car burns no oil which means there is no bypass even at 56,000 miles. A check of the entire brake system at 56,000 miles revealed the brakes to be as good as new. [Downshifting on steep hills pays dividends.] As a vehicle designed to take one from point A to point B, it would be hard to beat.

Smooth Ride!

I LOVE driving the Passat! I never considered this car before, but after driving it, I want another one for our family! The car provides all the luxuries found in higher end vehicles, for a MUCH BETTER PRICE!! The gas mileage is also AMAZING!

VW Passat 2013

I am very happy with this car after running for 50K miles. Mileage steady at 26-27 mpg in town, 32 mpg highway long distance. Comfortable ride, handles well, no mechanical or electrical problems to date. Will probably buy another one. I do miss having a USB connection

Our 2013 Oassat TDI/SEL

We've taken the Passat on short trips to the San Diego area at least three times. During the summer of 2015 we took a 1,718-mile up highway 101 through the redwoods to Requa and Crescenta City and some rather isolated areas along the way. The Passat was completely reliable and the whole trip was done on just over two tanks of Diesel. We were getting over 650 miles per tank on the trip traveling on the open road probably about 75 mph.

Passant

There are two things I love about the Passat. First is the mileage (but I had a four wheel Durango before this car). Second is the opening and starting the car I hate the difficulty of getting in and out. The trunk reminds me of the old Ford Pinto. The absolutely worst thing is that nasty remote starter. It is the cheapest and most difficult one one I have ever had the miss fortune to use. One never work and the other one is a real pain to use if it will work at all

Economy and Comfort

Love the way the car drives and rides. Fuel efficiency was important to us. With the Passat we didn't have to give up other comforts in order to achieve fuel economy. Very pleased with it so far.

Best car ever owned.

The TDI SEL is easy to drive and ergonomically friendly. It does take awhile to learn to use Nav system.

VW Passat Tdi

Electronics on this car have been erratic since it was new. Of course the faults are intermittent, so difficult to detect by service people.
