2013 Volkswagen Passat - High praise for my Volkswagen Passat John Hudson, Ohio Overall 4.0 Value 4.0 Performance 3.0 Style 3.0 Comfort 4.0 Fuel Economy 4.0 Reliability 5.0 2013 Volkswagen Passat - High praise for my Volkswagen Passat Just passed the 60,000 mile mark on our 2013 VW Passat and it looks and drives as nicely as the day we drove it off the dealer's lot. We've not had any mechanical issues nor any manufacturer recalls. Paint still looks great, the interior has barely worn, and even the floor mats are looking new. Love the leg room both front and rear and plenty of room in the trunk for a mid-size sedan. Road performance is adequate for a daily driver and the fuel economy is decent. Have made more than a few trips in excess of 500 miles on one tank of gas - just as advertised!

Story Not fun but memorable - Our daughter, who was home from college, borrowed the car one winter evening because she just had to go visit someone. Well, several hours (and quite a few wrong turns) later, she made it back home, sheepishly explaining all of her travails, but seemingly none the worse for the wear.

Well, several hours (and quite a few wrong turns) later, she made it back home, sheepishly explaining all of her travails, but seemingly none the worse for the wear. It wasn't until the next morning that I noticed the gas cap was not latched and that there was a noticeable 'wrinkle' in the back quarter panel. "No clue how that happened dad" Exactly. Pros Clean and simple lines complemented by a straightforward interior. Nothing really fancy here, but also not 'tricked up' or overly done in any way. Interior controls/instrument panel navigation is easy and not overly complicated. Favorite feature is the classic clock in the dash. Clean and simple lines complemented by a straightforward interior.

Favorite feature is the classic clock in the dash. Cons Engine is slightly louder than most comparable vehicles. Not in a harsh way, but just generally noticeable when in close proximity. Styling is starting to look dated and staid. One other, minor but annoying problem - the first-aid kit (which is cool) won't stay affixed to the trunk sidewall.

Tom Findlay, Ohio Overall 5.0 Value 4.0 Performance 5.0 Style 5.0 Comfort 5.0 Fuel Economy 5.0 Reliability 4.0 2015 Volkswagen Passat - Fun to drive and a quiet classy ride! I like the fuel efficiency 34 miles to the gallon highway. Excellent turbo charged engine that makes you feel in control and gives you power when you need it. The car is loaded with features like heated seats, leather trim, excellent stereo and sound system, and fantastic hands-free calling. There is room for five with plenty of leg room. The Passat is complete with excellent truck space as well with surprising room for all your luggage. The tires come with 18" rims, which are alloy and clean looking. There is plenty of leg room for the driver with power seats, windows, rearview mirrors. The Passat is not only cool and fun to drive, it's easy to cover as the car comes complete with a warranty covering 6 years or 72,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

This leaves you driving in both comfort and confidence. Volkswagen build the Passat's frame with both front and rear crumple zones that are designed to help absorb crash impacts, while a rigid safety cage deflects the crash energy away from the driver and passengers. The car also has an (ICRS) which is an intelligent response system. This is in the most unfortunate event of a crash five airbags are deployed as well as, the ICRS can switch off the fuel pump, and even unlock the doors, and engage the hazard lights. These are things the driver may not be able to do in the event of an accident. Story Took the Passat across the country visiting my children in several states. Awesome trip!
