I have bought the VW Passat recently with the 2015 1.8t engine. Drive quality is excellent. very good car as family sedan with lots of room. We live in Chicago which is a windy city especially balance very well in the shaky roads because of the wind. overall car is very good.

Worst car I’ve ever owned

I bought a 2015 Passat with the 1.8 turbo engine. Car has 47k miles. 10k miles later the problems began. Timing chain (yes the chain) and tensioners had to be replaced. $$$ Soon after the camshaft sprocket needed replacement. Now the car has been sitting in my driveway for 2 weeks due to a multitude of other problems. I’m waiting to drop it off at a VW specialist to fix it so I can sell this pile of junk. 61k miles. Buy a Toyota.

Great car, until it's not

It's a good looking car and lots of trunk space, which was nice to have as a family car. Can accommodate strollers and luggage for travel. Unfortunately the timing chain and cam shaft went at 66,000 miles. This isn't a part that is on the maintenance schedule, and being just outside of factory warranty meant we are responsible for $2k on a car worth about 8k on a good day. Buyer beware!

Great car, so so gas Milage

I traded in my 2001 Passat for this new Passat. Like my other, I'm pleased with the handling, low road noise, roominess in the interior and trunk and overall comfort. The only downfall so far is the gas Milage. It touts 24/36. So far I'm getting about 21 mph with my gas engine! Quite a disappoint. Overall great car.
