I have test drove several used or certified VW vehicles in last month (Passat diesel 2.0L, Passat 2.5 L Manual, Passat 2.5L Auto, and Jetta 2.5 L Auto). I was able to test drive the 1.8L Turbo automatic - and I was sold as soon has I hit the gas pedal. It has great acceleration. After my first week of driving I was able to drive +400 miles for city and some highway driving. I filled up with 1/4 tank of gas and it cost me less than $24.00. The electronics (cluster, radio, and Hvac are decent). I picked the VW becuase of the simple styling. I chose the Passat over the Jetta due to additional space. I am very happy with my purchase. I hope to be a VW consumer for a long time. :)

My Passat has 86,000 miles and continues to stall while stopped at red light, turning or any idle speed. Dealerships have not been able to find a reason, however, each time I take vehicle in for inspection it is out of oil. I have maintained vehicle and at this time engine is being replaced and fuel pump was replaced last month. I fear that vehicle will still continue to stall when in idle even though dealer now says it is the engine that needs to be replaced. This started May 2020 I took to dealer and they could not find issues except with oil. In November I took to a different certified dealer due to same recurring problems and they say it is engine and fuel pump. EPC light and battery light continue to come on as well. This is my third VW and I have had no issues with my previous vehicles. Dealers will not admit that the car is faulty and that VW has series issues that need to be addressed with the 2014 model.

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.
One of the Best Buys for the Money!!

The car gets great gas mileage. I get around 37 on the highway. The car is fun to drive and has good acceleration. I've owned the car almost 3 years now and have never had an issue. I think it's the best value out there. The car is big. Big back seat, Big trunk. Great car for taller drivers too!

I am used to driving BMW's and Jaguars for the last 25 years. I bought this car after having a Jetta for a year and I loved it but wanted a bigger, heavier car with more bells and whistles so I traded it for this PASSAT. I LOVE THIS CAR! I am tall and long legged and It's extremely comfortable, has all I could ask for except leather and a sunroof, but with rear camera, bluetooth, MP3 and iPod, heated seats and it performs beautifully and extremely reliably EVERY DAY and gets great gas mileage and needs NOTHING and the warranty and included service at the dealerships are great. This car just works flawlessly and is a great performer on the road. It's never needed to go into the dealership for anything except scheduled maintenance and I have several dealerships to go to and they are all EXCELLENT AND TAKE FANTASTIC CARE OF YOU. Update: My car was subject to the Takara airbag recall. 11 deaths and hundreds of severe injuries as metal schrapnel could explode into your neck or face. VW said 6 - 9 months wait for replacements. I was NOT going to allow myself to be the next death or injury. VW would not take my car in on trade on a brand new. Tried emailing the VW CEO in Europe for a solution - none offered. I traded it in at the local BMW dealership for a preowned 328i and very happy. VW is a great car but I was not going to drive a death trap and they offered no help.
