I just inherited this car the version I have has the lane assist on it. I’m super excited and it only has 7000 miles on it, but miss my dad :(
I just bought one of these and your review even told me things the dealer didn't. Nice job!
Hows it been
Excellent job man, love the video
Thanks for this! Just bought mine today
Thank you, I was looking at a used one, now I want one
Great video man. I bought a white one not too long ago and I'm enjoying it
Very informative and entertaining, thanks for the info!
GE Room Air thank you!!
Very informative and entertaining. I will recommend this video.
Great energy and info!
what a great way to explain in a high level something that is not that easy to understand: torque importance. Thanks for the enlightenment!!!
Alonso Candiani thank you! I really like VW's turbo technology!
This was a terrific review of a fantastic vehicle. I Purchased the '17 R line in Grey Metallic with black interior back in Nov of '16 while stationed in Germany and put 17k miles on it in 8 months.. I know thats a lot but the point is this car is built to enjoy while driving, and you can't beat the fuel economy! I have now had it for 15 months and still enjoy it as much as the day I picked her up at the port. I will purchase another VW in the future!
I bought the 2017 Passat SE in Gray with the lighting package because of this video. It was a left over new car that a local dealership had that was deeply discounted ($22K instead of $29K) Great car...wish it was a bit smaller without becoming a Jetta though.
Thanks for this video @Torue Junkies! Helped me learn some fun, cool, and insightful facts. Looking forward to experiencing this car! Also made me feel more confident about making the purchase in these inflation times.
Great video I just bought one and I didn’t know all the cool features until now
❤️ this guy 😍 love your videos
Great review man! I just got the 2017 Passat SEL and love it.
I’ve had the Passat for bout a year and I love it. Didn’t get the r line or the the lighting package because it just didn’t seem that useful to me and it was cheaper without it. But I do like the rims of the r line and the lighting package. The Passat is a great car and you get ALOT for the money unlike other cars who charge extra for everything.
Great review and jokes were good 😂
Awesome review!
Just subbed! Great video man!
Austin Correia welcome!
I want this car! Just like this.
So even though i can put regular gas can i alternate to premium now and again to clean out carbon build up?
kool video I love my Passat I got the same model
Great job!
+UR HIRED HR thank you!!
I brought a 2016 r-line in November 2016 and I paid $16,987at king vw in Gaithersburg md since they were trying to get rid of the 2016 models. Love this car so much.
RobCutpictures 28 wow that’s a great deal! How has it been so far?
Very good! Thanks
Gilberto Colorni you're are welcome!
Speaking of your 7th point, can you do a video on the VW Touareg and/or the new e-Golf? Both vehicles feature more advanced features and functionality than on most of the other vehicles in the VW line-up. Thank you.
I love the Palm Beaches.
Love VW 😍
great cars
Yes, I got a 2017 Jetta back in Nov and I love it, but I got my eye on a GLI or GTI definitely my next VW!
LOL! This video was hilarious! It makes me want to buy another VW Passat R-Line
Kerem Oklu thank you!!
Great video, I love and hate the autonomous braking bc sometimes it slows the car down before you even want it to and then other times it stops at the perfect time so you don’t eat shit on your dash.
I turn that crap off in any car that has it, my own and rentals as well. All they are good for is malfunctioning and slamming on the brakes at inopportune moments..dnagerous.
I ❤️ this Guy
I subbed
David L thank you! I'll do my best to keep making fun content :)
i wish they had it in 2.0 T
Razmik Makirdich me too!!!! I've been saying that for forever!
That would've made it too perfect.
You don´t get them with 2 litre engines in the Us ??
Razmik Makirdich 2018 model will have new 2 litre from new Tiguan
2018 Model will have 2.0T - Same engine as in the new Toureg, detuned for use with the 09G 6 speed automatic transmission.
Hey, I know I’m late to the party lol. But I just picked one of these up and it only had 39000. 😬 This was super helpful and made me feel more excited about this car!!
im about to look at one this week, how has it been since u made this comment?
@@michaelaguilar2836 I love it!! I feel like i learn something new about it every week 🤣 it's high tech, and my insurance went down because of all the safety features. I'd definitely say. "GO FOR IT"!
Want to help the engine even more? Purchase AEM's 3" turbo inlet pipe and air filter. More airflow = better performance.
Christian Norton · I have bought a used 2017 VW Passat S with 59,760 miles. I have pumped 98 octane ever since i started the monthly payments in Nov of 2020. In my opinion. Yes the 98 octane gas lasts longer in the tank. So it will allow you to make more miles to the gallon in the long run. Also. Always try to have 3/4 of a tank full. The car performs great. You can tell the difference. I could !!
Remember one thing. if you started out using 89 octane and suddenly you start using 98. It will probably take about 3 fill ups till you feel the difference. It's got to clear the 89 octane from the fuel lines. Good luck. Keep a watchful eye on the engine timing chain. Have it checked.They are supposed to be checked and or changed around 50,000 - 59,000. It will Depends on the wear of all the hard plastic parts supporting and guiding the timing chain.
Great review! I'm gonna pick one of these up, also was this filmed at Schumacher VW North Palm Beach?? Lol
That’s where I bought mine, love the car not the dealership we’re not willing to work with me at all very stern very Dickish
Austin Martocello · Dickish.. That's a good one 😁
All the reasons why I bought this car 🤙
What's going to be new on the 2018 passat?
Whats the PSi for the Turbo?
Hey all, We just bought our 1st VW yesterday.. We got the R-Line Passat. It is the Dark Grey with Black interior.. I Absolutely LOVE it.. We got this for me to drive because my SUV wasn't getting good gas mileage... We are getting the windows tinted by the dealership and getting a sun roof put in... We got a great price on our purchase.. I am excited to drive this car... It is absolutely a gorgeous car....
Congrats, it is a great car
Hey Kristina! I just did the exact same thing. My Touareg, while very nice to drive, was costing me a lot in terms of fuel. So I traded it for this R-Line. How's your first month with the R-Line been? I've had mine for 3 days haha.. So far so good for me though :)
Damn thing snatches when you hit the throttle doesnt it lol. I ended up getting a pretty bare bones R-Line. The seats arent all fancy like in this video. Everything is strictly business. Such a rigid ride too...geesh. I call myself looking for a nice tuner wheel but if the 19s are riding like this then no thanks.
Think a sub and epicenter will help out my system tho.
Do they have timing chain issues do they have oil pressure problems
Facts bro
Would I get better gas mileage if I used premium gas?
great video man！Thinking about getting a same car. But does anyone have any idea that will VW bring the European 2018 Passat which has a new exterior to the USA market? That new looking is more attractive to me.
Tony Zihang Cao thanks man! From what I know, no it will be a little different in size to appeal to the US market
Torque Junkies thx man Passat b7 also looks dope
2018 will be basically the same Passat but with a 2.0T engine. The 2019 will likely be the MQB chassis - but still US specific size/features. No Euro Passat.
I have one. Great car with great space. If only it had keyless entry and Push Button Start.
What is it something I need to know about the 2017 vacation I bought one I 2017 black
I really wish they will finally update those terrible flat seats and bring back the rear vents on lower trims... if you have a baby in the back, the weak VW A/C or heat takes forever to heat up the huge rear. Come on VW, get it together, you're losing lifetime VW buyers.
You guys should really start telling people that the car runs better and more powerful with Premium gas. Why would you buy a Turbo engine and then use lower octane gasoline to lower its power and torque? If you take this car to Europe, you won't find gasoline under 95 octane. All turbo engines love a quick spark, I have and never will use 87 gas in any of my cars.
Leather or leatherette inside? Great review.
Carl K leatherette, however you can get it fully loaded with leather. Thank you 😊
great video..really looking at r line Passat //always owned Japanese vehicles ,,just worried about maintenance and upkeep..people always say expensive to maintain and repair//any thoughts? ty
I will tell you to give the Germans a try, Not as reliable as Japanese, but way more fun and the reliability is not bad at all
I had a 2011 Golf TDI for 6 years.. no problems what so ever. Nothing electrical, mechanical, performance ever diminished. Since then, I've had Touareg (no problems!) and now an R-Line shown here. I really like VWs and have found them to be very reliable, especially if you take good care of them yourself and keep up with regular maintenance.
thank you very much for the info..I have since purchased a 2017 gti base 6 speed manual..
And I bet you love it, right!? That's a sweet car. Congrats!
especially the manual transmission. My Golf TDI was a 6-sp manual. Really love the transmission and it was less expensive to maintain than the dual clutch (dual clutch required maintenance.. at like 40 or 50k miles is exxxxpensive)
Do you foresee the TDI Passat returning or is it gone for good?
Bronco2Cj as far as the US it's gone for good. They are going to move towards electric cars.
How about using the screen for Android uses for music?
My Passat R line has the Golf R engine and 4x4, 280hp (206kw in my country) strange you don't get that in the US, or do you?
Im buying this when im 16 or 17. Ima mod it out.
I Want One.. but I was Going To Get The 2016 Model... it'll be my first vehicle
+Der'Ral Patterson it's a really nice first car, is yours going to be the cloth or vertex leatherette?
Get a 2018. It will be better to finance and everything under warranty.
is there a reason why the r line does not come with keyless entry and push to start? this would be perfect for me, if it had those extras.
Michael Olague Ramirez great question. The R-Line is meant as an affordable and hip car to make the Passat desirable to a younger clientele. Adding a Kessy system would make it too expensive and defeat its purpose
that makes sense. thank you for answering my question!
Michael Olague Ramirez you're welcome
I have a Passat America Made too it was made in Puebla Mexico (its America too right?)
Great video but PLEASE fix your audio levels.
How do I contact you if you still sell cars?
Lol, the North American Passat is less premium than the Euro version, (which we get as the Arteon) and while it may have a few inconsequential bits shared with some lower end Audi models...there is zero Porsche, and certainly no Bugatti or Lambo🙈😂😂 I mean dont get me wrong, it's a nice car and good value (or was when it was still sold) but even at the time didnt compare very well with the Honda Accord, Mazda 6 or even the Camry in some ways. I would choose it over something like the Chevy Malibu or fugly Subaru Legacy, but thats about it.
Can you answer why do I need to press my brake to start my r line 2017
That's normal. Its a requirement.
Safety feature
@@TorqueJunkies thank you, is automatic starters good to put on these cars?
Mazda 6 gt or passat r line ?
Jay 027 😐
I drive a 2011 Lexus GS 350 all wheel drive my car takes premium gas only most of the things that this car seems to have with the cameras and lights and stuff I pretty much have the Lexus comes with a lot of stuff but trust me you pay a lot of money for this stuff not to mention when something breaks it could be very costly for the Lexus I intend on buying a Volkswagen I have my eyes set on these 2017 sport models but have the opportunity to see the 2018 I'm holding out to the 2018 models come out the 2018 looks a lot nicer
High end cars can be expensive to maintain, That is one of the reasons high end BMWs depreciate so much after the warranty is done. I think you'll be happy with the VW
I had a 2015 touareg before I bought this 2017 Passat R-Line. I had the same thoughts. Touareg was NICE! but everything about it was expensive. For what you get in the Passat R-Line, slightly less luxurious but significantly less expensive to run! Love my R-Line
That ain’t no lady bug, that’s a bed bug lol
It aint cheaper insurance than an accord its way more ive got quoted for both
What? I can't hear you!
I think it's a done deal
Great car!!!
The 11th thing to know is that it came with bed bugs.
lol
The insurance isn’t cheap on this car if you have State Farm insurance because of the turbo engine! I have a 2008 Passat with 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo that puts out 200 horsepower which is more than.this Passat. After 12 year my j aura VW is cheap!!
what is this guy's car salesman?
That ain’t no lady bug that’s a bed bug
Paint that logo in the back and in a distance you’ll think Audi
0:23 That's not a lady bug, that is either a tick or a scabies insect better known as a bed bug.
Sir Galahad oh boy
I literally thought the same thing. Clearly not a lady bug. My best guess is a bed bug.
175hp...js.
Those are not leather seats!! they're vinyl.
This guy doesnt know shit about this car... Audis use TFSI engines and VW's use TSI engine. straight and stratified make literally no sense. One is Turbo fuel stratified injection, and other is just Turbo stratified injection.
bullshit video. I own one and it's not worth 25k. My insurance is $220 per month for full coverage, water pump failed at 35k, Bluetooth system is garbage, interior is full of cheap plastic. However it gives great gas mileage and sound system is great.
American passat's is lame. The Europe spec is in another league! A specially the interior. Maybe because it is a cheap car in America?
It’s made in America but vw is German it’s a German production car
Cringe is real
I was interested in learning the 10 facts but not at the expense of listening to you. 👎👎
Too cringy bro..
this is a fucking it's so beautiful but is a shitty car, Oil consumption is extremely
so what's the point to pay so expensive if the motor is kaka
