We had a 2017 Passat and loved it. Value for money was great. Never had a bit of problems. And so roomy in back seat for grandchildren. When we heard they weren’t building any more we decided to trade in the 2017 and buy a 2022 limited edition. Love it.
Absolutely agree with this. I had a 2017 also and I used the backseat to haul around my nieces & nephews. You nailed it. Glad you got out to get a new one! Hope it serves you well for 10 years or so.
I owned a passat about 9 months ago, until I was stopped at a light at a freeway off ramp. Drunk driver slammed into me going 80mph. I was hit so hard I went underneath the car in front of me. The passat trunk was crushed into the back seats. I walked away without a scratch, it saved me. So last week I bought a 2022 atlas cross sport r-line. Love it already.
My going to get a 17 se to can't wait
I’m going to miss the Passat. I’ve owned a 2004, 2007, 2012, and 2019 model. Sad they didn’t add the digital cockpit to this car.
As someone who owned 2 Passats, I'm sad to see the line go but it's clear that they stopped putting effort into it some years back which is unfortunate. I loved the sized and handling of the vehicle along with the looks! But when deciding to get a new car last year I couldn't help but notice that they didn't update much if anything where you could switch brands and get better mpg, power and tech in the same ball park money wise for a sedan. That's how I ended up with a 2020 sonata limited. I still miss the Passat every time I see one but I know I made the best choice I could despite losing some size.
Nono there is another Passat for 2023
@@TFSIChristmas Not in America
@@northtexasfan no there is!
Sad to see the Passat go after 2022... there goes an affordable, good looking sedan...
I am glad that I bought my 2020 Passat a little more than a year sgo. I got my Platinum Gray Metallic SE model for $6000 below MSRP! At 12,000 miles on the odometer there have been no problems. I routinely get 40 mpg on the highway and 32-33 mpg in and around town. The ride is quiet and smooth. Lots of room. The infotainment system is nice. I like the styling too. Clean and simple. My auto insurance even went down with all of it's safety features. I plan on keeping it for a l o n g time!
Passats will last a long time if you care for them! Mine is nearly 20 years old. Everyone tries to tell me VWs are hard to fix because they're German, but I couldn't disagree more! My Passat has by far been the easiest car to work on. Oh yeah, insurance is also very cheap for my Passat as well! It's about $35.
The video lists mpg at 23-34. That seems really low.
@@peters8162 I regularly get 32-33mpg in and around town in my 2020 Passat and around 37-41 mpg on the highway.
@@ralphbernard3908 the video says breaking 60-0 is 11 ft. That's sports car performance. My 2022 Passat seems to have really good breaking performance.
I get about 38 on the highway with my 2021, but I have a hard time getting much over 20 in town. What's the secret?@@ralphbernard3908
I always enjoy watching your reviews. They are not only very informative, but also entertaining. Great review 👍
Appreciate it! 😁
He’s a pro, with plenty of car knowledge and he is always positive and funny.
Solid review. I was amused by how deep you were vibing during the sound system test!
I think he is an audiophile like me! Or at least appreciates great sound! Like me! Issa vibe
Haha fun song! 😄
RIP Passat, … what ever happened to 4motion? Why not ventilated front and rear seats and the digital display, what was that?!? Come on VW.
It’s obvious VW is putting resources into other models in their portfolio. They aren’t putting their best foot forward here. But the Tiguan is their best seller here and the Taos will probably do great when supplies get back to normal levels.
You’ll be hard pressed on finding any vehicles with ventilated rear seats! Lmao! Kia Telluride offers them. Otherwise you are lucky to get them in a 100,000 German car.
The Passat Final Edition in that attractive green color has ventilated rear seats.
@@2004cyrusmy GLI has it
@@salmam.7448 what year ?
Volkswagen brakes are no joke. They are phenomenal in my 2019 Tiguan.
I am sad to see the VW Passat go. I currently own one I am passing it down to a relative. I am considering getting another Passat.
The Tiguan is a great choice!
Wow didn't think they would axe the Passat but then again I have a Volkswagen CC haha
Basically the Arteon is the Passat replacement, it's built on the Euro Passat platform and as such has all its niceties.
Its a lovely car, even premium feel like in my opinion👌
R.I.P Volkswagen Passat
I Google it after looking in the website was like what noooo
Major brake issues with my 2022 Passat that they keep giving me the run around about by claiming they're waiting on a fix from Volkswagen. Breakers started with grinding noise at 600 miles. Service technician resurfaced rotors at 6k and sill didn't work. Brakes have continued to make loud grinding sound when braking and car shakes when brakes are engaged. This is the worst car ever !😡
They only discontinuing the vehicle in North America. After 2022. It’s still being produced in Europe and Australia.
Nope
Because the other-market Passats have a different design than what America and China have
Nice car.I think VW peaked with the passat with the B 5.5 generation. Specifically in 2004, when they offered the 1.8 4 motion w/manual transmission.
I own this car! With 115k miles!
I own that one, B5.5 1.9 TDI, inherited it from my dad few months ago, even after 19 years it is still in a good shape.
Great review! Thanks.
Man, they just stopped trying for the Passat. At least for the last one they could have made it stand out. Not even a digital display.
Bring back the TDI!
Awesome review of the ‘22 Passat! I just bought a black SE this past September and I love it.
Awesome car! Congrats!
It’s a nice looking car and I love all of the room it has.
I prefer the digital dash that they have on the Jetta, however.
Were the seats comfortable? The seats in our Jetta aren’t the best which is my only complaint with that car.
Imo the front seats are not comfortable. But id say that about the Camry, Accord, cr5 as well.
I love the seats
Kinda sad how performance went down as the Passat generation went on.. my 2006 Passat had 200hp stock and top speed of 140 stock. 0-60 in under 7 seconds as well. No wonder why their gonna stop making them they got worse model year after model year. 2006-2008 passat being the best in my opinion.
I think this car is more about comfort and quality than performance, maybe better fuel efficient with the turbocharged engines.
Sad to see that this ‘new’ 2022 model’s interior looks almost identical to my 2018 R-Line. Would have thought VW would have given it a redesign for its final production model.
Wouldn’t be a good business case to invest money into creating/designing new parts for a car that’s going bye bye because it’s a poor seller. Business 101
@@2004cyrus You have a good point, interesting to see them add new tech and safety features, and even create a special edition model. I guess VW doesn't know business 101?
Doesn't look that different from 2012 when this generation was introduced honestly. Mild exterior face lift. I like my 2015 TDI tho. Had a 2012 one too.
Thank you so much, I'm happy you did a full review of the final VW Passat. I too am a sedan guy at heart. I'm actually trying to decide on whether to finance a brand new Passat over a pre-owned Tiguan SEL Premium, a two row five seater. I'm looking at 2019 Tiguans, and the price of a pre-owned Tiguan is very close in price to a 2022 Passat.
How does your Hyundai Sonata do in snow and ice since your car is FWD?
I love the Tiguan for the 4Motion all wheel drive capability. I too live in a state where it gets cold, snows, and gets icy. I'm interested to know how your Sonata does in adverse weather conditions. The 2019 Tiguan SEL Premium I'm interested in is priced at $28,900 with 13,000 miles. The price is comparable to a 2022 Passat.
I have noticed that 2018-2019 Tiguans are priced around there up to the mid $30,000 range. This such a quirk of mine, I'm not a fan of the sound of the horn on the latest Passat.
I have a 2019 Tiguan and it’s excellent just not super fast. That is the only real complaint some people have. Most owners love their Tiguans according to thousands of comments I’ve read on Tiguan videos. But it is a large and heavy vehicle for a 2.0 turbo. The torque helps tremendously
Great presentation, very helpful!
I wish they weren’t discontinuing the Passat :c
Wait what
@@clawsbycashh7223 yep, sadly it’s being discontinued
The Arteon is a great replacement!
One year ago today! Still buying one used!
I used to leased the 2016 Passat brand new back than I like it but the resell values is very bad that’s why I don’t buy it anymore I bought a Camry instead 😂
What is going to replace the passat from 2023 on, does anyone know?
I definitely dig your beautiful Ridge wallet :P Great review video, too.
Appreciate it! 😁
I like your reviews very thorough but honestly, I feel like I'm onboard a jetliner about to take off and the flight attendant comes on and rattles off all the usual stuff and goes so fast sometimes it's hardly understandable. Translation: slow down a bit. Thanks.
I would love to get a Passat
It could have had the front fog lights at least. The front of the car would look better with them than the new Chinese version... As the rear (tail), Chinese version looks better to me... Change those ugly wheels so that it looks better!!! Now take a look at the new Škoda Octavia 4 in Lava blue on 18´Perseus wheels... And you got it!!!
This car offers nothing but spaciousness, VW stopped caring a long time ago. There's officially no reason for this car to exist when the Accord is much better and Camry offers great powertrain options including hybrids.
The Honda Accord has so much road noise and an awful sound system
The Accord is ugly and the Camry is dreary, the Passat is much more comfortable
The Camry is hideous - as are all the front grills on Toyota’s - they all look like bottom dwelling catfish
@@nycupperes agreed. I wanted to get a Camry but that front end drove me away. I have the pics of it on my phone: it was white with the black roof. But I went and leased a Pearl white Mazda CX-5.
@@2004cyrus I had to rent a Passat last month and expected a German car drive. It swayed and floated more than any car I've driven in at least 20 years. Honestly thought something had to be wrong with it. The 2009 Camry I bought years ago for my son to drive to school handles waaaay better than that new Passat did.
Europe is making a Passat next gen for 2023 then another at up market an electric Passat going to be produced when it’s the final stage.
Glad this is the last year. Why does VW bother with a turbo 2.0T with so little HP?
I would think it’s for both pricing and mpg considerations. I have a 2014 Passat and it has plenty of power especially in sport mode.
@@martinn4186 I really think if they gave it some more power it would have sold better. The Toyota Corolla 2.0 without a turbo has 169 hp these days, and it is hardly a performance car.
@@digitaldoc100 What VW should do is sell the European Passat in the US instead of the Arteon, and keep the price in $35k area.
@@martinn4186 Would make more sense.
The small engine and low HP is THE reason to have a turbo. It's a much needed boost. Without that turbo, the car would drive a Honda Civic - you know, you best be flooring it and going 55 mph by the time you get to a hill because you'll have no chance of going the speed limit. With the turbo, you can actually increase speed going up hills!
هذا سيار نسر ضهبي 😊
When do you think will be the final model year of the rival Malibu?
It can’t go soon enough
Passat 2022 gostei... Eu vou ter um.
Any ideas on how disable permanently the lane keep assist? It's always on by default and has bad tendencies to activate when NOT wanted. Looking for a fusebox diagram as well. Thoughts?
cover up the sensors tbh
@@Wcthllboy No easy way to cover them up. I would be better to either unplug them or remove a fuse if it does not result in constant messages in the driver information screen.
@@Wcthllboy This is effective. No issues with any warning lights/messages.
Is this as reliable as honda cars?
It’s average. 3.5 out of 5. A Nissan Altima would be 4 out of 5 which is pretty good. So it’s not the worst but it’s average
Found Jesus.
صقر جميل 😊
Goodbye and good riddance! Worse car purchase I've ever made! Burns oil and problematic!!!
I just had one of these car's as a rental car. Let me just say that this car is a big steamy massive corn and peanut laden 💩. Absolutely no power whatsoever, also it was like being in a tin box. Thank God I have my 2017 nissan maxima back , a sedan that actually has balls & power.
Has 2.0T can easily make faster then a Nissan maxima plush the maxima has cvt now
🥺🥺🥺
This was just a Jetta XL that’s why it’s so easy for VW to 86 it lol. The Real Passat isn’t Sold here. They call it an Arteon🥱
It's a Shame to see it Go
Radha Radha ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Lots of plastic... NICE!
Cutie patootie you are !😜
