I have owned 5 VW's in the past and this is my 6th and the last! Right from the start the back window had to be replaced because it was warped, bubbled and defective. Over a week in the shop. The Fender sound system is great but the top bar under the windshield cracks and rattles detracting from the sound. 3x times trying to fix that. The suspension crashes and bangs over bumps - going in for the fourth time to fix that! And, now the steering rack and column was defective - 13 days in the shop! And, what's up with styrofoam foam under the front passenger seat, foam packing in the trunk hinges?? Numerous rattles and creaks from the interior. What happened VW? Extremely disappointed. Stay away

The only reason I didn't score a 5 on the "Fun to drive" score, is because I traded in a 2.0T EOS with DSG for it. My girlfriend FELL IN LOVE with a Passat loaner. I would say I'm thrilled with about 99% of the Passat. Here's the short list of things that, to me, could be better: the sun visors FEEL cheap. (In the EOS too) the stereo sound quality is inferior to the one I had in the EOS. (disappointed) If this is all a chronic complainer can find, I say it's all good!

Cons. Everything else. Radio/GPS is the worst I have ever had. Often when your first turn the car on the radio/nav won't respond to commands for 1-2 minutes. When I put the car in reverse the backup camera doesn't come on for 1-2 minutes also. By that time I am long out of a parking space. Worthless. Navigation won't allow address entry for the first 1-2 min. The Nav entry system is cumbersome and just poorly designed. Remote start is also designed by a moran. You have to start the car and then restart the car when you enter it. VW-carnet is worthless. It is as though Vw just threw somethin
Best car I ever owned

Higher repair and maintenance costs vs. Japanese cars but worth it. Plenty of power on demand excellent gas mileage. I drove from Hartford Ct Portland Me on one tank of gas. The fender sound system awesome especially if you spring for the Sirrius option. Comfortable and smooth ride. I live in a rural area and it handles back roads like a champ. I bought mine used with 63k miles on it. One owner with all service records. 11k out the door, couldn't be more happy.

I'm 19 and I just got my drivers Liscence about 6 months ago, I went to a Mossy Honda dealership and financed a 2014 VW Passat with a 2.0 Turbo, And i'd say for the past 2 months of owning it I am very proud of owning this vehicle. My first thoughts when I did my first test drive on it was that the interior was very smooth luxorious similar to the audi design, wheels were great the engine bay looked smooth and robust. The VW I own has premium feautures including a navigational system in the radio. The car it self is very reliable, Smooth take off, Very Touch sensitive break pads but after a day of driving you get use to them. Very good on gas it is definetly a reliable car for cross country traveling, Great on gas. It doesn't suck your money dry. The only few cons I noticed about it was the fact that the navigational system in the car that I own is very slow, on times it tends to be all over the place and I wish it was just a little bit more modern and knew what it was doing. Overall very satisfied with driving it. it's a very quite car inside and has a nice engine sound too it when you're driving on the road. Very spacious and has plenty of room to fit luggage and other stuff in there too. Great sedan car and I would highly recommend this car to anyone if they are looking for a good first car that doesn't suck money out of your wallet.
