Of the dozens of reviews I've watched and read, this one has helped me the most. I have a small family and am looking to replace the family car - but we are car nuts, and I'm not ready to give up on life and buy a Camry quite yet! I was a little worried the Passat would be a bit too "beige", but I didn't get that impression from your review. I just need to go and drive one now. One question though if you don't mind - are cars in Malaysia generally lower-powered? I'm asking because your review indicates that 220hp is "lots", but here in Australia even the 280hp version (sold as the 206TSI R-Line) is considered to be pretty average power-wise. I mean no disrespect, I'm just trying to put some context around your comments, and knowing how the car you reviewed fits into its local market would help in that regard. In any case - thankyou for a fun and informative review!

I have searched online and asked around with other VW owner about the transmission problems but so far they don't have any problems with the wet clutch type. So, make sure if u wanna buy, get the Highline model as its the only with a wet clutch transmission. The price could be too steep but now VW are having promo on this car. 185K. good deal I think.

If this car were brought to the US and wasn't priced out of the segment, it would be a bestseller. I think VW underestimates the American Driving public if they were to do so. Too bad I've got a 2014 Passat SE with roof and 117000 trouble free miles. What's more reliable than any other car I've had, including my 2011 GTI with a DSG transmission that was manufactured in Germany that year. Reliable rock solid transportation with build quality, panel fit of Audi AND made in Chattanooga Tenn.! Original rear brakes recently replaced at 116,000 miles and original wiper blades. I bought it brand new, so I've luved with all 117,000 miles. V.W. Passat, DEFINATELY NOT a band aid box on wheels. You fill in the blanks on that one.

The car launched since 2016 and now the is still selling same engine, same gearbox and same chassis as B8.5 Passat R-Line. For reliability wise it is very much improved over the B7 Passat. So far no engine oil consumption lost and no issue of mechatronic. Common problem found is radiator water pump, oil sump and wheel speed sensor. These items usually change once problem settled. The resale value isn't super low, 2016 Passat 2.0 HL is still capable to sell about RM 95 - 100k. Not high but definitely not low
@phas3rrr2 жыл бұрын
The ones i saw in mudah are up to 135-145k for 2019 HL 2.0, slightly higher than elegance 2020 even. Technically i can sell my b8 ( a vw conti) for a profit 😂 Then again, it is partly due to new car stock is low and long waiting period due to chip shortage etc… and the fact that the facelifted ones have less power. The 1.8 resale isnt as good as the 2.0.

Hi Emma, sorry for the late response. not a regular person in KZbin. Polo Sedan is nice. you will enjoy the drive, it's quiet and stable if you like it that way. Meanwhile it lacks in some departments too. Like it's not as techy and updated like honda city/ Toyota Vios. But if you get the new one, with TSI engine i can guaranty you will love the drive. Volkswagen is a pleasure to drive. The bad thing- the maintenance cost. my 60k maintenance for the car was amount to RM 1850!!! With nothing broken or replacedd. I still couldn't take the amount. Service centre experience, I have tried Melaka, PJ, Sungai Besi..all the same. not good at all. I somehow think the people they look for the position at Service centres lacks serious attitude problem. They are no way close to the good service u will receive if u r toyota/honda user.
