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.

Elegant design, inside, and out. Understated. Stereo is great. Feel much smaller to drive than it looks. Feels very light, easy to drive. 1.8l turbo has some punch, especially with what feels to be the vehicle's light weight.

Do not lease VWs worst turn in inspection ever and have to pay for all the things that go wrong with it. Every ding scrape and things out. Horrible in the snow. Transmission has multiple problems and dealership and customer service is horrible to deal with. I have told friends and family never to purchase a VW. And now recommend the rest of the world boycott them.

My 2014 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition lacks nothing! I'm at 119,000 miles and I've done nothing but basic vehicle maintenance! It still looks and drives just like a brand new vehicle! It handles wonderfully and has plenty of zip! Especially if you manual shift through all 5 gears into 6 or drive! Also there's a sport mode which makes it even more fun to drive as it shifts at a higher rpm then normal! This car was definitely made for the autobahn as I've had it going 145 around a long sweeping interstate turn without a problem whatsoever! There's plenty of room on the interior and the heated seats are most excellent! I've honestly got no complaints or issues with this most excellent vehicle!

Gets mistaken for an Audi all the time

I wasn't too wild about the standard Passat but when I saw the sports model at the dealership, I had to have it. The 19" wheels and black top contrasting against the white body and molded, two trim sports seats did the trick. I doesn't the all the tech the newer cars have now but it does support bluetooth so I can pair to my phone and stream media (Pandora) while using the phone's native GPS for directions. I've owned it since new and have just 37k miles on it but it still rides and handles like new. It did go through two recalls, one for the air bags and another which had something to do with the throttle I believe. I personally can see no reason to trade this car as it's seems like one of a kind. Since 2014 I've only seen one other SPORT version on the road and I live and drive around the SF bay area where there are loads of cars on the road everyday. Sadly I don't believe the thing that makes this car so unique (the SPORT package) makes it worth any more money and on that front, this car isn't too good, (at least for the original owner). Buying it second hand is really the right way to go as the car depreciated pretty severely.
