Just got one of these yesterday. It only has 19000 miles on it. I leased a Jetta a few years ago then leased a Malibu. The Malibu was nice but I really missed the interior and feel of VW. The heated seats, turn signal indicators on the mirrors and just the way it drives and the feel of the steering wheel. By the way, the radio sounds great. I only had it on half volume and it was quite loud. Love the touchscreen too. I plan on keeping this for a long time. Nice in depth review.
The 2012 Passat thru the 2018 year it just looks like a Jetta. But longer and wider. I refer to it as an overgrown Jetta. Yes they have a smooth ride and hardly any noise. The longer wheelbase in the Passat and the size 17 tires are perfect 👍
I like how VW kept the passat simple likes its always been, also the base models might be a little lacking compared to say an Accord LX but they're also 20 grand and still pack a nice amount of features! Now they just need to bring the wagon back.
great review man, but dont just state the pros, to be a real good review you have to give the cons but still awesome review, planning on getting one of these soon
Well mine is very reliable and a little too reliable which means my extended warranty is a waste of money. But you may fall asleep behind one because they are so boring to drive! lol
@@bryanramey2438idk what’s wrong with mine I think I stoped some limiter . My acceleration is crazy and loud and I can go up to 140 . It’s old af probably gonna blow up but god it’s fun until then
Just wanted to say, I really enjoy your car reviews.
Thanks for doing this review this car is low in price atm so I hope for this to be my first car :) it’s really nice

Any rust issues
Do you still have it?
@@lildurpy i still have mine haha just changed the low beams to LED
Yes!! I would love to see a wagon version of this. These are really nice! I was definitely impressed.
I do too, but this 2.5 actually had a really nice amount of power. It didn't feel sluggish at all.
My brother in law has the SE TDI and he LOVES IT!
Thank you!! I appreciate it so much.

He loves his!
Very nice review though
They are indeed!
Very pretty car i like it ♥️♥️💟
I know... I was pretty nervous as this was one of the very first cars I filmed at this dealership.
It belongs to the dealership. That was a temporary tag that allowed me to drive it on the roads
Nice car
great review man, but dont just state the pros, to be a real good review you have to give the cons but still awesome review, planning on getting one of these soon
i don't know if it is the AGC of the audio recorder but there seems to be a lot of road noise at least over coarse surfaces
Ugh I know haha.... This was one of the first videos I did at Fairway and I was very nervous to say the least.
welp looks like im sold! first car and it's either gonna be a passat or jetta. :)
Same! I just got my first car too, it's a 2012 Volkswagen Passat SE w/Sunroof and Nav in black :)
mason resendes how has it been? this is going to be my first car!
I miss the 2.0T TSI engine they use to offer in these. I just think the 2.5 would be a little underpowered and the V6 is almost $30,000.
Who owns it it looks like by the plate in the back that someone just got it?
"so that's very nice" loool... :-))))
How reliable are these?

You say "All you have to do" a lot! Nothing wrong with that, just saying
