I bought a 2014 Passat Sport edition. Smoke was billowing from the engine within the first two weeks after purchase with six miles on the odometer. After several (3 to 4) recalls on the transmission, Bluetooth issues, many hours at their service center and an attorney, the car was finally re-purchased by VW and then re-sold at auction. I had to pay an additional several thousand to get out from the loan and legal fees. I would not purchase a VW again, and I wouldn't recommend anyone buying one. Buying a car is one of the biggest investments you make so make sure to invest in a brand that stands behind their product.

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.
Great Family Sedan

I put on about 21,000 miles on a Passat S auto. The overall quality is gone down quite a bit from my 99 Passat GL V6 that I had before but the my is the lowest trim model with cloth seats; the upper trim are better. The car is now manufactured in Tennessee instead of Germany. So far I have not encountered any problems. The car rides very comfortably except the bottom seat cushion is kind of hard. The fuel economy is very good and you also get a large gas tank. I get around 30 MPG city and 40+ on the freeway. You can get 45 MPG if set on cruise control @ 60-65 MPH. The engine has very good low end torque with almost no turbo lag. I had a Neuspeed Power Module plugged into the ecu wiring hardness and the torque was increased substantially from 1800 RPM up without any issues. Handling is adequate but not spectacular. The Hankook tires have limited grip and don't agree with some of the freeway grooves which it wonders a bit but it's getting better as they were down. The maintenance is covered by the manufacturer for the first 3 years. I got a very good lease program (around >$4K below MSRP). Great value and a solid choice as a family car.

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.
