Used 2007 Volkswagen Passat Consumer Reviews
Great Value!
If you're looking to replace an SUV, this is the car for you. It gets great gas mileage (32-33 hwy/24-26 city), has lots of usable and easily-accessible cargo room, and has a very comfortable ride.
Passat 2.0 Value Edition Wagon
This vehicle has superb acceleration for a 4-cylinder. The engine feels much more powerful than the rated 200hp. The electric motor driven power steering allows for one finger steering at parking speeds and German style road feel at high speeds. Compared to a Volvo V70 2.5T you get most of the features, similar size, better performance and a $10,000 lower price.

Feels good but not reliable
I have 20,000 miles on my 07 Passat 2.0T. Last week it quit operating while on the freeway. Felt like it was out of gas and unresponsive to gas pedal. Had plenty of gas. Coasted to shoulder and it resumed operating. Then there was a loud noise that was not from the engine. Towed it to the dealer. They checked it out and found nothing wrong. It drove perfectly again. The technician gently told me that perhaps I hit the brake and the gas at the same time and the computer, for safety, favored the brake and went into a low power mode. Sounded possible the way tech explained it. I don't trust the car now. Anyone else had this problem?
Best Wagon on the Market
We owned a 2006 Passat Sedan - great car, never had a single issue; fun to drive, good gas mileage, loaded with good features - an Audi at 60% the price. We needed more utility, so we decided to purchase a Passat Wagon. This car is great. Loads of space, fold flat rear seats, automatic real lift gate, heated seats, sunroof....great audio system. What can I say, the same great ride and handling, good performance of the sedan...with a ton of utility space. The kicker...we are averaging 28.6 mpg over the last 5k miles. This wagon is getting better gas mileage that our 2006 Sedan....same engine, same transmission....maybe we're just driving it better, or maybe it's just a great wagon.
Sheer Driving Pleasure
One cannot help but enjoy stepping into this car and feel its comfort and great handling. The design both interior and exterior is second to none, yet it is an affordable and economic vehicle. It is quite roomy and taking luggage with me is no longer a problem. I am also fascinated by all its features and one I particularly like is Auto hold. I like to think of this car this way, when the engineers designed it, they designed it for me. It gives me sheer driving pleasure. Hats off to Volkswagen!
