Best car ever owned.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

2013 VW Passat TDI review

I positively love my 2013 VW Passat TDI. I use it to travel everywhere. Currently, I have 149,000 miles on it. On the open road I typically get 650-700 miles to a 14 gallon tank of diesel. Plenty of leg room, both in the front and rear seats. Keyless ignition, sunroof, hands free cell phone and nav gear round out the package. The seats aren't the most comfortable and won't totally recline, however, I can't have everything. I won't ever trade it in because the newer Passats are smaller and with less leg room and VW will not sell any more Passat diesel TDIs in the US according to staff at various US VW establishments.

Passat

I love my Passat... people always think my 2013 is a newer model. It's comfy, but classy looking, and fun to zip around in. (i used to drive an older SUV which felt like a tank!) The gas savings is amazing too! I have always been a fan of VW and we have owned a total of 4. The trunk space is huge. I can get 2 large suit cases and a few smaller bags in there and still have room. It is definitely the happy medium of all the models.. not too basic but not too fancy.

Volkswagon is Awesome

Exceeds Expectations

Excellent driving and handling car. On a 700+ mile trip, safely driving between 70 and 85mphThe entire , we averaged 32.4 mpg sitting in very comfortable, fully-adjustable wrap-around vented bucket seats. In town, the Passat has quick but safe steering and braking coupled with excellent 360 degree vision. The 250cc, 5-cylinder engine is responsive yet able to quickly accelerate as needed. Front seats are adjustable for even 6'-6" tall people yet provide leg-room in the rear for 6'+ riders. The trunk is huge and the fold-down rear seats provide do more space than needed. (Only include the following if you choose to do so) The steering wheel needs badly to have one more lower "down position" !!!! The standard Hankook Brand Tires are SO DAMN NOISY the self-adjusting Sound System is rendered useless!!!

Runs Smooth

Vehicle runs great. No noise on the engine. Very spacious in the back seats and trunk. Interior is marvelous looking. I can count on the my vehicle since it’s a 5 cylinder and The parts are costly but worth it.

Love Everything about it!

My VW Passat is my best car yet! I get great gas milage. The trunck is huge and roomy. The back seat is comfortable. The passenger seat is almost as perfect as the driver seat. The stereo system kicks butt! Highway driving is supreme!

Best cars ever made.

This is my sixth VW. I started buying VW cars back in 2001 and never left the name since. Yes I had two BMWs in between times but not even close to the reliability as a VW. I started with a 2001 new Bug, 2003 Passat, 2005 Jetta, 2006 Passat currently a 2013 passat and 2015 GTI. My Husband and I are VW customers for life.
