2012 Volkswagen Passat

Trim: Highline
by Alex4299 on 05-15-2014
Spacious, excellent ride, great family car, but with the looks!
Love the VW Passats - one of the best cars I've owned, have had 3 VWs over the last 20 years, they ride well and is comfortable, great German engineering, and interior is not cheap-looking. Upscale car for a decent price!

2012 Volkswagen Passat

Trim: TDI Comfortline
by Chris9136 on 12-18-2013
TDI Mileage is incredible!
This is in my opinion the ultimate commuter car if you have to travel on the highway more than 15 minutes daily.
The comfort and spacious interior makes it a dream to drive and the TDI engine is very powerful and paired perfectly with the DSG auto transmission.

2012 Volkswagen Passat

Trim: Highline TDI
by malcolmi on 06-30-2013
Highway comfort, city ease, amazing ecomony
Handsome interior, very comfortable seating, intelligently-designed controls. Lots of torque with the diesel engine, crisp acceleration with the 6-speed manual transmission, and wonderful economy: Kingston, Ontario to Manhattan and return on 70L . After 20 months and 34,000 km, I sometimes wish the dashboard and door panel materials were softer/more luxurious, but the excellent quality of the design and assembly are more important, and I only have to go for another drive to remind myself how well-designed and beautifully-put- together this new Passat is. The TDI option, with the 6-speed manual or dual-clutch automatic, is the option to choose - 5.4L/100km on the highway, and 6.4 in city driving, consistently. My mileage would be better if I drove more slowly, but that's hard to do in the Passat.

Great vehicle!
This is my primary vehicle and I travel quite a bit for my work. It has great fuel economy and a very comfortable ride. It has great interior design and exterior design. You can reach into the truck through the backseat which is a very great feature. Definitely worth considering!

Okay
This was an alright car. Great for comfort and style but not so great on gas. Had difficulty with opening the car manually because the keyhole was hidden and also the gas tank is frustrating.

2012 Volkswagen Passat

Trim: Highline
by MrRegatto on 11-20-2012
Great ride, excellent handling, great fuel economy
2.5 Highline Gas - 6 Speed Automatic
Volkswagen's new American made Passat, great sleek design. I compared against Camry, Accord, and Legacy before purchasing.
Great fuel economy - getting over 900 km per tank
Uses regular fuel, not premium.
The six speed auto transmission seemed sluggish at first until I looked at the speedometer and was doing well over 120km/hr. It shifted so smooth I did not notice how fast I was going! The transmission is set up to maximize your fuel economy. You can set it to sport mode which will give you even better performance when you want it.

2.5 Five cylinder engine is really smooth, has great torque and gives you the power when you need it most. Its a proven engine design with a durable timing chain to ensure longevity.
Comfortable to drive on long trips. Took it to Vancouver and back with the family this summer.
Well put together. The fit and finish is best European quality even though its put together in America.
Enough room for 5 large adults.
Large trunk space to fit all the luggage and items you need for a family trip.
I've put 18,000km on it since June and had no problems with the vehicle other than my daughter knocked out the rear door light bezel. It was fixed under warranty.
It won Car of the year for a reason. Really great vehicle for the price! Great job Volkswagon. I really recommend it.

Trim: Comfortline

Would not think twice about 2012 Passat TDI
Had Honda's, Nissan's and Toyota's in the past, but when I was looking to replace my old car, 2012 Passat TDI caught my eye. None of North American or Japanese come even close in comfort,fuel economy, workmanship,product finish, reliability and styling. Car is super comfortable, Fender stereo is a must for music lovers and lets not forget fuel economy. On my last trip i did 1300KM on 55l liters of diesel. Can anybody else give you that. Put it this way, I just hit 35000 KM and only did 33 visits to a gas station. I love the car and would buy one again.
