2022 Volkswagen Passat Limited Edition 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
5 of 5 people found this review helpful
Purchased 2022 Passat limited edition in 1st week December 2021. Initial review. Great car. Good on gas. Very comfortable, nice leather, great stereo, nice Adaptive headlights. Has many things better than competitors. Has a few things missing. Heated steering wheel, wireless charging come to mind. Final year for this vehicle. Shame, everybody loving suvs and shifting to electric. Too bad. Not a fan of the full electric. I'd recommend this if you can get your hands on the limited. 31k gets you nicely loaded. No upcharge at the dealer which was refreshing. Went to honda, chevy, Nissan and others without much luck finding a deal like this one. Love the looks of this especially.

I have owned the car for just over 3 weeks. I now have 2400 miles on it, having taken a trip to Florida last week. There are some pluses. The air conditioning is ice cold. The gas mileage on the highway is better than the ratings. The standard radio is impressive for its sound quality. The car does have long legs, and highway miles go by easily. But had I known of the issues I have encountered, I never would have purchased the car. The alignment is off, pulling the car to the right. I had already driven another Passat at a different dealer, and honestly did not think I would have any issues, so I did not test drive this car. I wanted to have the alignment looked into when I was in Florida, but the dealer told me that all costs would have to be covered by me. Needless to say, I did not go that route. Once back home, I had to call VW Cares to set up an appointment at the selling dealer to have it looked at. This is to be done tomorrow. The grille is not aligned properly. The gaps between it and the hood and headlights differ from side to side. Yet relative to the bumper, things look okay. The passenger side rear door is not aligned flush with the fender or the front door, standing proud of the fender, and set a bit deeper than the front door. The driver's side is fine. The car does not have a sunroof. Yet it was built with the control wheel in the headliner, which operates the sunroof. Sealant applications under the hood and in the trunk area are sloppy and clearly not applied in a controlled manner. Dash creaks have surfaced. The driver's door and trunk sound like an old screen door hinge that has not been lubricated in years when they are opened and closed. In short, I have to believe that quality controls or tooling on the assembly line in Chattanooga are sadly lacking. Oh, and this car was built shortly after the factory re-opened following the pandemic shutdown. So, I consider mine to be a Covid vehicle. I worked in a production environment, and I know how factories were re-started, with smaller crews, putting operators in positions that they were not familiar with. My guess is that a car built earlier in the model run would have been superior.

Great midsize sedan

I purchased my 2020 Passat S model in October 2020 for only $17,500. Great value for this midsize sedan. It drives very well. It has enhanced torgue with 2.0 Turbo engine. It is very roomy and has good standard safety feautures. I drove it with 120 mph on the highway without hearing any noise and vibration. I also love it's super size roomy trunk. It has 4 years 50,000 warranty which has more than competitors except Hyundai Sonata. It also has good gas milage.

My lease was nearing an end on my Alfa Romeo Giulia. I was looking at other premium badges but due to supply chain issues I could not find what I wanted. So I decided to get a 2022 VW Passat Limited. I owned virtually an identical 2016 Passat SEL Premium. I actually thought it was the best car and best value I ever owned. I do not understand why the Passat is so undervalued by many. The car has lots of room, great safety and convenience technologies including hands free trunk opening, lane assist, blind-side warning, front end collision avoidance, great navigation screen resolution, extremely clear rear camera, parallel parks by itself, very good sound system, adaptive cruise control, LED lights, heated seats (front and back), real spare tire, 4 year 50K bumper to bumper warranty, a trunk that doesn't require a gymnast to store golf clubs, and more. Maybe I'll get my fully loaded BMW 430i convertible next time. But for now I am happy to drive my Passat. Just to update . . . Had this Passat for 16 months. I stand by my earlier review. No problems and still very satisfied.

Disappointed! German cars are better?

I purchased this vehicle new. The vehicle is down on power. The engine is extremely noisy. Does VW know what sound insulation is? Lots of road noise from the tires. The best part of the vehicle is the interior space for tall people and the interior seating material is durable. Buy a Toyota Camry I've had two with no issues. German cars are better? Not the Passat! VW needs to improve this vehicle. This vehicle has a place in the market with some engineering changes. Now that all manufacturers are playing follow the leader to E car land. VW will not spend a nickel to improve an internal combustible model.
