2005 Volkswagen Passat

TDI Passat
The car is really reliable and has very good fuel economy. On highway I could get up to around 1000km. It never has a problem to start in the winter because of the coolant heater. You can plug in the car in the winter and start it with no problem every morning. I really like this car but have to sell it because I need a bigger vehicle for my family.

Great fuel mileage!
Fun-to-drive vehicle, upscale interior and wide range of features, my Passat is my favorite vehicle yet. I liked it so much I bought a 2014 Passat. Don't buy your next family car without driving one of these first.

Pros
Better handling dynamics than most sedans in its class, excellent value, roomy interior with upscale feel, outstanding build and materials quality, front-wheel drive, diesel engine which gets great fuel mileage.

Cons
No navigation - I'm a woman - I get lost.

Great little car
Have owned this car for about 3 years and it has been great. Handles well in the winter, and the heated seats are definitely a plus! Great mileage and fuel economy with a diesel! My only problem was starting it on cold winter days, but was solved by having an oil pan heater installed. Overall a great car to drive. Stereo in this car is nice too!

Great comfortable ride with amazing fuel saving.
This car is easy to drive and is very comfortable to ride. Engine has enough toque to move you in every situation.
Sunroof, Leather, Cruise is just plus.

Great car
This is a great vehicle to own. It is very reliable and very durable. I have had it for the last 4 years and it has been a very good car during that time. I enjoy the power and control of the car as well as how it looks both inside and out.

Great car
We bought this car new in '05 and it has generally run great ever since, although we did have to put in a new motor this year. However, my husband puts around 200km on it every day. We originally bought it because it was a diesel and for the excellent gas mileage. It doesn't get the same mileage as it did when new but overall I love the car and would definitely would buy another one!

Awesome VW Passat TDI
This 2005 VW Passat is an excellent family car. The diesel motor is excellent on the highway for fuel consumption, over 1100 km on the highway and 900 in the city. This family vehicle has lots on interior leg and head room, with heat leather seats. The trunk has lots of room with folding 60/40 back seats. This vehicle is a excellent family vehicle. VW quality at its best. I would own another TDI Passat in the future.

Its just okay...
WE have the TDI so mileage is good. It has good options and the ride is just ok. Long term trips are a struggle however day to day driving is ok. These cars are expensive to fix and honestly we seem to have it in the shop more than we have any other vehicle. I would not recommend it to anyone, there are alot of other good vehicles out there that I would rank much better than this.
