  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the all new 2012 Volkswagen Passat SEL TDI. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    Just got a 2013 Passat TDI SEL a few months ago on a CPO from a VW dealer. Awesome car. Even after the diesel fix it still gets great fuel economy compared to my 1.8T A4 B6. Plus with the 2 year unlimited millage bumper to bumper warranty with the additional emissions warranty I’m very satisfied with this car.

    I'm a big guy, 6'2", and test drove one a couple months ago. Tons of room in the back seat even after I'd adjusted the driver's seat for my height. The salesman encouraged me to put it in sport mode and punch it, chirping the tires at about 30mph.

    Test drove one that was nearly identical. The one I drove was a manual (the Canadian version comes with a manual on every trim), and it was definitely the nicest car that I have ever driven. Couldn't even tell that it's a diesel! It drove and handled really well for a car it's size. I was really impressed with the rear seat leg room and trunk size. I'm glad that VW kept the manuals available on all trim levels

    My Dad has a 2012 TDI SEL all blacked out and because of the engine problems has recieved over $40,000 for repairs and what not, and they also have replaced his entire engine, so it really technically only has 20k miles on it. My Dad is giving it to me in a couple of months and I absolutely love it and can’t wait

    This dude totally sold me on this car. Was about to go for the Ford f150 but my wife walked in on me watching this video and said this car is what I should be getting. Really want a truck but considering the price point & features not to mention the awsome mpg... I'm seriously feeling this car.

    The Fender auto system is 400 watts and something I love! Just be careful not to rub the alloy rims against anything because they will take a bite out of the rim due to the low profile 235/45 18 tires.
    The only thing I do miss, is there isn't a back-up camera, but the 2014 SEL has them covered.

    Excellent review. This is a great car packed with too many features. I need to get one. Like one reviewer mentioned, I was wondering about how to find diesel gas stations since not all gas stations carry diesel fuel. I saw another video about the passat navigation where there is an option to search for diesel gas stations. If so, then it is wonderful.

    I love this new VW Passat! The front headlights remind me of the 08-12 Honda Accord headlights.
    Also I think it's cool how Volkswagen gives u the choice of push button start and also manually starting the car with an actual key. Most of these auto companies doesn't give u that option.
    For example, a 2010 Nissan Altima only has the push button. Is there a way to manually start the car if it were to stop working??? Does anybody know?

    I am extremely impressed with this redesign. The diesel is ultra quiet and ultra fuel efficient. Very nice interior and the Fender audio system is really impressive. All new cars should come with HD radio like VW. I can't wait to go and test drive one of these.

    It's got a nicely finished and roomy interior and very nice convenience features such as smart key access with remote engine start, electric trunk lid opening, fully automatic electric windows and dual zone climate control. It's got a good safety rating as well and the choice of a diesel, instead of an useless hybrid version. I really like it. The Passat may not be the most reliable midsize car, but sure is the nicest.

  • @OnusofStrife
    @OnusofStrife 12 лет назад

    I do like the two ton interior of these cars. Most people say the styling is bland but too me its timeless, conservative. But, you wont get tired of it after owning it for a couple years. Even some of the older vws still look pretty decent by today's standards.

  • @wotan20
    @wotan20 12 лет назад

    Well, this is definitely not your father's tired, old Passat! There's just so much to like about this vehicle, I'm simply awed by the sweet, rarely accomplished combination of luxurious comfort, impeccable, elegant aesthetics with an eye on economical operation.
    I can very well envisioned this car as the favorite company executive car, in the near future in NA.

    John and Helen Taylor few days ago traveled 2617km (1626mi) in one tank (18.5gal). They started their trip at Houston, TX, traveled through 9 states and ended at Sterling, VA, achieving an average of 2.79l/100km (84MPG) in their new VW Passat TDI (6spd manual). This set the new world record of fuel efficiency.
    I'm not surprised to see people achieving such good numbers in small cars. But the Passat is effin huge!
