Volkswagen Passat 2013 review - Car Keys

Read more about the Volkswagen Passat: bit.ly/1CSypo9
The Volkswagen Passat is one of the most important vehicles in the German manufacturers range, playing a key role in forming its highly praised reputation.
As it is a saloon the Volkswagen Passat offers the obvious benefits of added comfort and practicality - but where the Volkswagen badge really prevails is in its build quality, reliability and drive.
But with numerous amounts of luxurious saloons from German brands like Audi and BMW on showroom floors, we were wondering if the Passat still has what it takes to battle the lucrative competition.
Watch as we take the Volkswagen for a spin in our latest review.

I'm using a 2014 model Passat B7 that I bought brand new. The car is truly magnificent. After all those years my car is still factory-fresh. There were neither a malfunction, nor a wear, nor the slightest problem, many thanks VW...

[@rahulrai7391]

Would buy in this day and age as well. I’ve always loved reviews from ‘motortorque’. This is one of those gems. Thank you.

the background music seems a bit loud.

We actually have a VW CC review coming out this Friday, so keep a look out!

[@CarKeysUKOfficial]

What do you think of the VW CC then compared to Audi competitors?

[@Scooby5826]

So with this car, do you need to remove the entire front end to replace main beam and side light bulbs when they fail??

[@johnmackay1]

Whats the VW CC like in terms of what the Passat offers,
Does it have the small touches that the passat offers, booster seat, auto boot, fold seats etc,
Have you done a review ?
cheers

[@chrisbrown1057]

I have a 2009 passat 1.4tsi very reliable and economical

[@nickolastiguan]

VW definitely make better products for the European market, when compared to NA here...

[@AwaludinDin]

Nice..

[@mrpoochie01]

No music please its ruined the review

[@Aoocci791]

i think the same!

[@Alanwcum]

So weird! "Boots" instead of trunk and driver seat on the right.

[@mariustanase4195]

Such a badly made video. The volume of the backmusic is so high you canbarely understand what the reporter says.

[@manchesteryoutube2108]

I put 30£ in diesel and I only got 145 miles out of it. This normal

[@kirium311]

The Audi a4 is smaller and has a seriously uncomfortable driving position, over priced and overrated. Passat gives excellent value for money, looks different to generic Audi.

[@richardbush3147]

I don't think the Passat has what it takes to fight off Audi and BMW. The Golf is where the true VW vibe is at!

[@Birmingham_racing]

Richard Bush it’s not as good but far off. It’s Audi that is supposed to compete with them

[@MrandMrsWestie]

Reliability for when sinks both audi and BMW...

[@richarddastardly6845]

I think VW golf is no good, it's far too small, Passat is better...

[@Birmingham_racing]

Mickey Mouse golf is fine for its size

[@xman6432]

Totally agreed... Golf is very small car.
The dimensions of the Passat are the exact dimensions. Neither too big nor too small.

[@richarddastardly6845]

@@Birmingham_racing - It’s too small for me personally, I’m 6’2” and I find it tight

[@Birmingham_racing]

@@richarddastardly6845 your a big guy so that's understandable

[@Lacuq]

Passat looks way more generic..

[@TheHenryTown]

the accord wipes the floor with this one.

[@seanprice8008]

vw are crap, since they were brought by fiat the quality has gone down hill. the French are terrible at making cars. even the best selling french company (alfa romeo) are rubbish. your better of buying a German car like kia or lexus.

[@RokerSMisisipi]

+Sean Price Since when are Lexus and KIA German?

[@Birmingham_racing]

Kia is Korean and Lexus from japan
