My first vw I bought this car in July, 4400 miles and 2 trips from Asheville NC to Orlando later. about 560 miles one way I am very pleased overall. I average 30 Mpg city and 45 on the highway one tank was 51 Mpg. This car does every thing you can ask of it. Plenty of room power and great cruising range of 832 miles with 18.5 Gal tank. just be aware Because of the Automated manual trans car will disengage and roll backwards on very steep hills. my Car will not lock from the outside unless keyless remote is used. Car was 26K OTD with Tax. More than one person thought I paid 40K. VW got this right.

LOVE this car so much! Amazing gas mileage that gets better as the engine gets broken in, and it's super roomy! People sit behind my 6'3 boyfriend and they still have tons of space in the back. Everyone has commented that it rides really smooth as well. People ask, "This is a Volkswagon? WOW! This is super nice!" This car has exceeded my expectations, and I find myself volunteering to drive everywhere because it's so much fun. Edit: As much as I loved this car I sold it back during the TDI scandal. Couldn’t pass up getting almost all of my money back on my paid off car and essentially getting it for free for three years.

Of all the cars I've owned over 60 years( and there have been many ), this Passat has been the most dependable, reliable and least troublesome. I will hate to part with it if and when I have to.

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had and I highly recommend Hertz in Harvey, Louisiana! My next car purchases will be from Hertz. The car was well maintained but not perfect being a rental/fleet vehicle (minor cosmetic issues). It was priced well, it rides well, and it looks good. Everything works as it should. Passats are very good cars.
