2014 Volkswagen Passat Wolfsburg Edition 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 1/14 (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
We were looking for a car that had an upscale feel and appearance without the upscale cost. We were also looking for a car that was fuel efficient and did not want a hybrid.
The 2014 VW Passat Wolfsburg met most of our criteria.
It looks great and handles well on all types of driving conditions. The 1.8 turbocharged four cylinder engine gets decent MPG but feels a little … underpowered.
However, it is quick enough to safely merge onto highways with adequate power for most situations.
My wife and I really love this car and would recommend it to others.

2014 Volkswagen Passat Wolfsburg Edition 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 1/14 (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
After 100,000 miles on mine I can report that the only maintenance and repair visits have been: 10 oil changes, 1 set of tires. Everything else including brakes is original. While the design is dumbed-down and softened from the Euro-spec version, is very boring, and is what VW interprets as "what Americans want", I am just thankful they didn't put a bench seat and column shifter on … the thing. The 4-cyl. 1.8 turbo motor is very efficient, if not very exciting. Avg. 37-39 mpg on the highway, and I have once achieved 41 mpg average on a 500+ mile trip. Transmission prefers to upshift early and hold higher gears which is a little annoying when you are in a hurry. But for the purposes of A-to-B driving with passengers, it is a nice place to be, if not a nicer place to ride as a passenger in the humongous rear seat.
I'll give it 4 stars. If VW could just channel some more Audi into the visual design, I'm sure it would sell even more of these.
My first VW - 2014 Passat 1.8L T

2014 Volkswagen Passat Wolfsburg Edition 4dr Sedan w/Prod. End 1/14 (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
I have test drove several used or certified VW vehicles in last month (Passat diesel 2.0L, Passat 2.5 L Manual, Passat 2.5L Auto, and Jetta 2.5 L Auto). I was able to test drive the 1.8L Turbo automatic - and I was sold as soon has I hit the gas pedal. It has great acceleration. After my first week of driving I was able to drive +400 miles for city and some highway driving. I filled up … with 1/4 tank of gas and it cost me less than $24.00. The electronics (cluster, radio, and Hvac are decent). I picked the VW becuase of the simple styling. I chose the Passat over the Jetta due to additional space. I am very happy with my purchase. I hope to be a VW consumer for a long time. :)
