The new Passat is a great family car. The DSG transmission is super smooth and quick gear changes. Merging on the freeway in sport mode always puts a smile on my face. There is more than enought power in this V6 so much so you have to goose it slowly to stop traction control taking power away from those not so sticky stock tires. I am sure they will not last long given the tendancy to slip on take off. Then I can get some really sticky performance tires on those 18 inch rims a couple profiles wider and really make use of the 280 Hp and 258lb of torque. Interior is solid with a great sound system. Seats are firm and supportive and give plenty of adjustment options.
Power!

I came from driving a 2003 BMW 330i and I don't drive that often other than weekends and to the train station on week days. But when I do get a chance to "actually" drive the car it is very quick to 60 (I got it in 5.7 with performance tires) but when driving at high speeds the car steering gets light. Accelerating hard off the line the car has lots of wheel spin but I fix that with sport tires. have not had any reliability issues. The car still drives great and I plan on keeping it for another 2 years!

I've only owned my 2012 for the past year and I've never had an issue with it. I bought it with 25,000. miles and I've driven it all over Florida. Fun car to drive and great on gas.
