2017 Volkswagen Passat SE w/Technology 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

This is a fun car to drive. I purchase the SE with technology and this car is great. I disagree with Edmunds about the sluggish transmission, NOT. Feels like a sport car and it competes with its rivals. It is loaded with technology and worth the price, I paid $ 22,671 after taxes ETC and trade in. Such a steal on the MSRP is $ 29,375

My first Passat was a 2007 model which I loved and regret selling it. The 2017 R-Line model has made me forget about the previous models. Great looking car and fun to drive so far. I work for Toyota but I choose the Passat over the Camry. I put over 40k on my previous models and had ZERO issues.

The R-line's sleek design and handling are A+

The R-line has a beautiful sporty design compared to the base S model. The 19in aluminum alloy wheels are stylish and really grip the road allowing for great tight handling; and the R-line's cabin is quiet even with the larger tires. Combined MPG is higher than EPA estimates of city/hwy 23/34, I'm currently getting about 31.5 (half hwy, half city). What makes the Passat R-line stand above it's competitors is it's technology and low price. The central info-entertainment system is far superior to it's competitors including the Camry, Optima, Legacy, and Madza 6. Also, it comes in a few thousand below the base prices of several of its competitors, making it an affordable yet very reliable option. As an added plus is the size of the cabin. It's huge compared to other midsize sedans. Overall, very impressive for a vehicle in the low 20s. After 2 years, my R-line is still running strong and doing well through harsh winters. MPG is great, especially with mostly highway mileage. All in all, would 100% repurchase and recommend!

Middle aged family sedan buyer 😂

Currently only have 1200 miles. Will update as miles increase. As expected so far I really enjoy the car for what it is. I was in the market for midsize 4 door for the family and my daily commuter vehicle (50 miles round trip). I'm normally a Honda or Toyota guy for my daily drivers, you can't deny reliably and resale of those brands. I previously owned a new 2014 Honda Accord sport, I have zero complaints other than the cvt transmission, which I hate in any brand! My local vw dealership had a few passat r line's priced very aggressively that caught my attention. If I had to pay msrp I would have passed on a vw product and just purchased a Camry or Accord,not that they aren't worth the money but resale is horrendous on German brands (Audi,BMW,Mercedes etc) I only keep my vehicles 2 years max normally and always purchase never lease so resale values are important to me. I purchased my passat r line for 19300 plus tax and tile! Msrp was 25300! I feel this is a tremendous value for 22k out the door!!!! I wasn't interested in any other Passat model other than the r line, love the wheels and slightly sporty appearance package it offers! It feels like a 30k car! So far the passat seems on par with my previous Accord sport. I do prefer the 6spd auto and interior quality, infotainment (carplay👍🏼) compared to the Honda. I highly recommend the Passat r line if you can purchase for around $20,000 before taxes and fees

Great Car for the Money

Quite a car for the money. The 1.8T engine is peppy, if not strong and smooth like a V6. Two great fun options are the Tiptronic shifting and the Sport mode for the 6-speed transmission. This car has a lot of technology and is fun to operate. There is no native Navigation but there is interface to the iPhone and Android which is actually better than Navi because you are using your own phone which you know backwards and forwards. All the features are projected to the large info screen on the dash. This saves a good $1500-2000 from the MSRP. First day I had 3 adult passengers for a trip to a baseball game with two six-footers in the back who raved about the roominess and the ride. Gas mileage looks like as advertised. Happy with this car.
