Best car for the Money

2014 Volkswagen Passat SE 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
14 of 14 people found this review helpful
What I love about his car is the Turbo engine. Plenty of power when you need it and excellent fuel economy as well. I love the way the car drives. German engineered cars are just fun to drive period. The seats are comfortable and the Cabin is extremely roomy. I just love the way the interior is laid out. The best thing about this car is the price. I paid around 26k for an SE and I feel like I got a ton of car for the money. I just don't think there is a better deal out there.

2014 Volkswagen Passat TDI SEL Premium 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbodiesel 6AM)

Having gone through literally a dozen or more of newer type cars over the last decade I can safely say that this car lives up to and exceeds expectations. No car is perfect and there are a couple of annoyances such as the traction control (too intrusive), or the slow navigation unit; but car is fantastic. I've had it 2 months and average right at 40mpg all the time. I just took it on a 1100 mile trip and averaged 42mpg going between 75 and 84 mph. Also, acceleration is great all around. This is only the third car I've owned that exceeded gas mileage (others were 2013 Mercedes and 2008 Golf GTI). Overall the car is solid with no rattles. It's an excellent family car.

Being in the market for a mid-size family car in the most competitive segment, I found the Passat quite a balanced choice. The combination of performance and spaciousness is very accommodating. The 1.8 Turbo breaths smoothly and effortless, marking a significant difference, especially when your weekend driving involves a few mountain ranges (which will surprise some V8 drivers out there). The six-speed automatic shifts seamlessly (almost as a CVT without the retrofitting side-effect). Power is always available thanks to the engine's low end torque. In fewer words, I just love the driving dynamics of the Passat regardless of the package you choose.

We were considering a change from the 2012 F-150 we had for improved gas mileage, but traded in a 2012 Camary also. We are super impressed w/ our new fun, economical drives! Hers is a '14 SE TSI & mine a '14 Wolfsburg TSI. We both average around 30-32 mpg on city & highway. We live 25 miles out from town where the cars were purchased & my work, so both now have 17,000+ miles on them since June 30, 2014, when they were purchased. All are part of a VW heritage started in the 1980s w/ a 1964 Beetle. We since have had a 1986 Cabrio, a 1999 Jetta TDI and a 2004 Passat TDI. All have been fun & reliable, but these 2 Passats top them all!

Writing this review after 5 days. Got base 2014 with only 8k miles on it. Great deal! So far, runs great. Turbo kicks in nicely when accelerating. Trans takes getting used to as "D" wants lower gears to save gas, but "S" runs more like a traditional trans. Son says back seat has more room than Honda (I traded in a 2002 Accord). Decent stereo..rides nice and is quiet. **Update 10 months later: Still going well, but commercial carwash snapped passenger side-view mirror. Manual does NOT say to avoid commercial carwashes and VW considers this defect to be non-warranty covered as it was an "act of nature." A bunch of BS, if you ask me. So, I've been taking it to touch-less carwash, which does not clean as well (I do it myself in summer, but it needs washing in winter due to salt, etc.). Kind of junky customer service..who doesn't make a car that can handle a dang car wash?? **Update as of 1/11/17: Mileage is a plus..drove 2 hours this past summer at 70mph with a/c on..got 37mpg! As it is winter now..I don't like traction control, but that may not necessarily be a VW thing. Still slow to warm up in winter, but a/c does great job. Folding side mirrors in before carwash resolved problem..touchless car washes weren't getting job done! Overall, very satisfied. **Update on 7/12/17: Drove to Chattanooga from Detroit (600 miles freeway) with no a/c on and got 42mpg. Then, drove from Chattanooga to Port St. Lucie, FL (another 600 miles freeway) with the a/c on and got 39mpg!! Great mileage. Turbo blew at 50k miles, but I had extended warranty, so got new one. Just odd that VW warranty is less than others. Kind of "lemon-y" to have a turbo blow that early. Overall, car is "meh."
