I love my little tink-tink

It was a rocky start, but after working out the kinks, it has been a great vehicle and has withstood the test of time. I will continue to drive until I cannot anymore. Then I will hopefully get another one.

Quality and reliability

I was attracted to the Passat for its style and reputation. I've had no vehicle issues other than normal maintenance since purchasing the car in the fall of 2014. Its 4-cylinder engine is plenty peppy (same engine that goes into an Audi) and the mileage is fantastic. A recent road trip with most of the miles on highways, got me in excess of 38 mpg even with the AC going the whole time. One drawback...road noise. Had I been wearing my hearing aids during the test drive, I might have had some concerns. As it is, I don't wear them while driving! Overall, this car is a winner.

Generally Very Happy

This is a very well built car. It handles very well and is easy to drive. It's also very roomy and comfortable and is very economical for this size car. Engine is somewhat loud at lower speeds around town but super quiet at highway speed. One annoying problem area: In freezing temperatures the doors will sometimes freeze and not open or open but not close until car is warmed up. Dealer replaced latch on left rear door under warrantee but next winter the same door froze up again. Dealer says it's a common problem with some VWs.

Solid Car With a Few Issues.

This is generally a very pleasant, comfortable car. It's responsive enough, handles very well for a mid-size family car and the gas mileage is excellent. Two problems we've had: In very cold weather, the back doors sometimes won't open until the car warms up. The left rear latch was replaced under warranty, however we had the same problem with that door the following winter. We finally got it open, but then it wouldn't close. My wife sat in the back, buckled in, holding the door shut till we got home. Also the brakes need replacing due to rusty parts after 28,000+ miles over five years. Seems a little soon.

Passat

I like the Volkswagen Passat but the maintenance is extremely expensive and needs constant watch because if you don’t fix whatever it says it’s wrong right away everything else starts to break down. It’s a special car with a lot of attention needs

The on broad computer is not working correctly. the Dealership can not fix it to speak in English. the engine light keeps coming on and off. Driving me crazy.

I like the car as a whole. the above review is worrying me. bought it used a yr. ago at a dealership with 42,000 miles. It did not speak english then that did not bother me. It was when the GPS stopped working that I started to have second thoughts about my purchase. I use GPS in my business and am now using my phone.

Love her but dang.

I love my Passat but over the years (4.5) I have fished out SO much money into this car on major repairs. It took me researching engine problems to learn these cars have an average motor life of 6.5 years which is RIDICULOUS. This year alone my fan blade bent out of no where. The radiator cracked out of no where!!!l and now my engine isn’t holding oil out of nowhere!!! This is getting old the whole forking out $$$’s at a time to fix its random repairs on top of regular maintenance. I just. Ugh. I love it so much for carrying me all these years but now I’m in a pickle behind it because I’m careless now with a toddler! Idk maybe there’s a blessing in disguise. I’m just waiting! In the meantime I’m just warning others to do your research beforehand on cars!!!!
