That VW representative did a great job knowing his product.

Wow Math Prof
I just bought a 2014 Passat used from my local dodge dealer and to be honest it is the best car I've ever driven. If you see one used at your dealership or you are thinking of getting a newer one I highly recommend it.
Thomas Maner yes I love my car it came with 17,000,000 miles
Hi I bought one yeastard how long do you drive?Any complaints?
Don't know about the mocking comments but I bought mine because 2/28/14
137,263 miles. SE w/roof 1.8 EA888
Gen 3 with 6spd. Tiptronic
Problems: Recalls only.
Takata airbag
Rear main seal
Headlight adjustment tab
I dealer service this car with SPECIFIC instructions to the advisors.
Oil changes 7,500 miles (use BG EPR and BG MOA OIL friction modifier.
Tire rotations @7,500 miles, maintain 30 psi cold tire pressure.4 wheel alignment after each bed set if tires. Last set of tires, Pirelli P7 Cinturano AS Plus 71, 312 miles even wear
2 V.W. Transmission services, fluid, screen, pan gasket
3 brake fluid changes
Rear brakes lasted 112,412 miles
Original plugs and coils (yes really)
Note: Every time an oil change is done, I put a can of BG MOA in the tank when 1/2 tank then top off. This fuel treatment works. Average 40+ mpg at 70 mph in cruise
PZEV.
My most reliable car ever by FAR. Had 7 VW's including 2011 GTI w/DSG
I never beat the car, but finesse the turbo.
Rock solid and ZERO SQUEAKS or RATTLES still!
Also owned Toyota, Honda, Saab, Fords
NOTHING comes close for value and chassis build quality and safety.
Am I just lucky? Doubt it, this Chattanooga Tennessee made machine has been the best (not most exciting) value I can imagine. Solidity is obvious vs. the tinny quality of the Asian brands IMO. I'm not compensated by V.W.
The vw guy knew is stuff. Very professional and knowledge. Dave didn't give a review, it was more of a intro to the vehicle. He's fair and will eventually give a more critic video I'm sure. Everman is one of my favorite reviews to watch.
one thing I like about this VW is that it looks "extruded", like one large solid cohesive block of car. no melted-cheese treatment or swoopy lines made by wind, just a solid complete front-to-back look. I haven't driven one, but it looks like it would drive like it's made from one single solid piece of metal, the way a Mercedes drives.
timeless design
I've got a Manual 2013 Turbo Diesel direct injection Passat , it's the most fun I've gotten out of a car in a long time and the the gas mileage is awsome along with the interior, and this guy isn't kidding about the rear leg room, I'm a short guy 5'6" and I can nearly fully extend my legs in the rear seats A 10/10 car
I think Passat is a likable car but when you say a timeless, simple design makes a great car or something more than ordinary, I must say you must be a VW moron.

The space inside there is amazing, beats my dad's Nissan versa, I'm 6'3" and I had plenty of room inside the passant and they are comfortable
so basically the salesman did the review ...everyman driver used this dude to do his job
pat mahiney Last I checked, the Everyman Driver did the shooting and editing :-)
Everyman Driver
in other words, Everyman Driver didn't review this car. So why call it a review?
My daughter and I have identical 2014 wolfburg passats. She has the 1.8T, while I have the 2.5. Hers seems to be a little peppier at takeoff, but in mountains, it has to downshift more. I actually get better mileage. Maybe it's the driving habits. I drove from Norton, Va to Dalton Ga, and back often running 80 to 90 mph, and going over 2 mountains, and got 34.1 mpg for the round trip. I couldn't believe it, and checked it against the computer, and it was correct. I had a rabbit manual with the same engine, and it was hard to get 30 mpg, however the gearing on the rabbit was much lower.
Dave can you please do a review on the 2014 Jetta SE with connectivity and sunroof when u get a chance, thanks for the awesome vids!
21FILTHY Love to... VW just needs to send me more of their vehicles :-)
the back sit it's insane HUGE.
Hey Dave Could you review the 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium? Thanks
I currently have a 2006 Chevy Impala LT with a 3.5 Liter V6. How does the VW Passat compare in Speed and Power? How does it compare in Shoulder room with the driver and the other front seat passenger?
What's the year cost of gas between the 1.8t n tdi?..
It's come down to the passat and accord for us.... Your reviews are informative and I have to agree I prefer a review without the automotive employee present. Great work nonetheless. I'm leaning towards the VW though the Accord is tempting
Hey Dave, small correction. He says 180hp but video states 170hp. Great video!
viperfinatic777 he misspoke. the graphic is correct. Dave
Is this the standard car? Or did they add features?
Made in my home town.
Sharp looking Passat ... simple but aggressive
Good for a new driver or the Jetta?
I enjoyed my 2002 Passat. I like that model styling better but it is still boring. I'm glad they kept the interior space especially in the back seat.
VW should have put in the 2.0L Turbo from the GTI into the Passat.
Agree.
Jesus, Couldn't have said it any better! WTF would they go back to the Coil Pack eating 1.8T of death!
Remember, when Passat first came to U.S. markets, it did come with 2.0L Turbo from the GLI and GTI as the standard equipment. I think VW was thinking fuel efficiency when they put it the 2.5L Inline-5 as the first engine (base engine of the Jetta & Golf).
We'll see how this goes, VW sales have slipped a little.
And stronger 2.0 TDI(170HP) for USA market.
Glad to see the 1.8L arrive in the Passat. I strongly encourage VW to keep the clean lines of the external styling . . . there are people who prefer it. Not to say that some of the swoopy, curvy styling of some vehicles isn't attractive. Rather, the Passat presents itself as a more classic sedan. Too bad "simple" inside and out does not equate to higher reliability ratings. Dave, does the turbo require premium fuel?
It requires Premium fuel and Full synthetic oil, considering it’s lack of reliability it is head scratcher that they went back to it when they replaced it with the 2.0L 16v turbo for just that reason alone. Can it be durable, why sure it can, but it will only be that with well up kept maintenance and even then it is not a sure bet…go on a few VW forums as there are plenty.
Michael Williams The 1.8 Turbo does not require premium fuel, you are incorrect. Synthetic oil, yes...but 87 octane is fine in the car.
You can put whatever you want in your car sir. VW says 87 is fine, but I'd rather my engine timing not retarding, because I was being cheap on Gas. That said it also depends on which 1.8t your referring to as some on the fuel cap simply state premium fuel which leaves the guesswork to what you consider to be premium. At the end of the day it's been a far too unreliable high maintenance motor with almost endless Performance Tuning Potential, IMHO. . .
And IMHO as a master certified VW salesperson, I'm fairly well qualified to say what I said. You're entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. This new engine does quite well using 87. Go higher if you wish, but it's simply overkill.

Does it come in a Reliable edition?

Bottom 3/4 on 2014 JD Power Dependability.
My good sir i just started watching the video and you have THEE handsomest voice i've heard(no homo) i promise i would buy anything youd sell me aslong as you just talk
FLCLIST Thank you! Are you into fitness?
@@everymandriver indeed i am
Nice car!!! good poise as a german car, solid and finally strong and efficient engines. We will see the next improvements on Passat 2016 www.autoblog.com/2014/03/04/vw-passat-2016-refresh-coming/
yea, I like it better when Everyman driver does the review. It's the reasons we watch the videos brah
Kamikaze Krunch This is a pretty old video... have you checked out my more recent work?
Everyman Driver Car Reviews yea, just noticed it yesterday. lol
4 miles per gallon better. Doesn't using premium fuel eat up and savings. My Audi A4 Avant got the same mileage as my Dodge Ram 2500.
سياره تثق باداءها . سرعة ومتانه
Sux. Get the tdi instead.
I like the exterior very much, not like angry American car or flimsy Japanese or trying-to-be-different Korean design.
Honda and Mazda Subaru offers more advanced safety features... VW appears to be a generation behind.
very sexy car...love it
Seems like VW had Honda squarely in their sights with the Passat model lineup. It's almost identical to the Accord. Good luck de-throning that class leader...
watch this guy pull out at 20 sec top right corner looks like he is on a race course pulling out of a parking spot..:/
$32k for a 4 cylinder Passat....
Too expensive....
A base Audi A4 starts at 39k here in Canada and has a 4 cylinder engine,,
Also depends on what style you get, depending In Like the interior and the type of transmission(manual/auto) the cheapest I have seen is like $29k-$36k
This guy didn't know his shit at all! (The vw rep)
One of the worst reviews I have seen. It shameful to have a salesman review the car.
ncaatrackstar Sorry to hear you say that. Thanks for the feedback - Dave
Everyman Driver
Could you compare either Mazda6 with Passat 1.8t or Accord 4cy.
But the exterior it's so BORING. And looks like the Jetta.
such a painfully dull car. The last gen passat was a true german piece of luxury, this seems like a downgrade.
joedogg9836 It'd probably look more exciting if it wasn't silver in color - Dave
+Everyman Driver Personal preference. Looks good to me.
To all non VW lovers in the world. VW has horrible reliability. and expect to pay unscheduled visits the VW shop.
To all VW lovers. To each his own.
VW has best reliability and very fast car...VW is built to last forever under avuse in autoban highway....japanese cars are too slow and break right away when you try to go fast and abuse it...japanese car lasts only as long only when you drive slow and carefully....if right care is given, volkswagen is much more reliable and lasts much longer than any japanese cars....the thing is americans dont know how to care for their volkswagen....thats why americans have wrong conception while in all other countries VW is the most selling car by far...
I have this same car with 160,000 miles now. No problems at all. Just changed the brakes. How is that for reliable? This thing is made like a tank. I have several friends with a Camry and they both have interiors that wear out quickly.
Diesel Rule

get a Sonata.
this car is boring
