2021 Volkswagen Passat R-Line - POV Driving Impressions

[@daviddesrosiers1300]

I had a 2019 Jetta SE and my wife had a 2020 Passat as a rental for work. After driving that I had to head to my dealer and check out one out as my lease was ending soon. I ended up going home with a 2022 Passat SE. The ride is so smooth on 18” wheels. The space inside is amazing, fuel economy is great, remote start, car net, and home link. It’s not the sportiest but it’s nice. I’m happy with it

[@jakepatchogue9478]

Looking to upgrade after a really long time with my 2013 Jetta. Do you know if the Passat armrest slides forward like the adjustable armrests in last generation Jettas? Thank you in advance!

[@daviddesrosiers1300]

@@jakepatchogue9478 the armrest does slide forward I wish it would ratchet up like my old Jetta but it only slides

[@jakepatchogue9478]

@@daviddesrosiers1300 yes I love the ratchet feature too, not sure why newer VWs are removing this feature. How is it on the road compared to Jetta? My 2013 Jetta is super stiff and you definitely feel every pothole

[@daviddesrosiers1300]

@@jakepatchogue9478 compared to my 19’ and 15’ Jetta’s I’d say it’s not as stiff. Not that it’s like a boat but it definitely feels more loose. And hitting a pothole with my winter tires is not as bad as my all seasons with the 18” wheels. So it all depends on what wheels and tires too

I've driven across Canada and did 1200 km's with one tank with all my stuff in back and was able to fold the backseat and sleep in it! For the size, price and the driving dynamics I think it's a great car. It never gave me issues since day one and it's still going strong. I bought it new! Unfortunately i won't be able to replace it with another Passat. VW did not keep it up to date, they simply wanted to kill it for the market and that they did.

[@frankb4199]

I love how sharp the RPM gauge changes, one of my favorite things about VW.

[@synysterdemon]

I had a 2021 Passat Trendline while my GTI S was being serviced. I found the suspension to feel really floaty (like a boat basically), the brake pedal was indeed very assisted and hard to brake smoothly. The interior felt really cheap compared to the GTI. It was ok, but I was glad to get my GTI back the next day 😎

The problem is that the better options are also reliable. If I wanted something boring and reliable, why not just go directly to the Toyota lot? Heck even the current gen Camry is a nice and more interesting vehicle. The Accord also similar interior space. The Mazda6 is on a similarly aged platform, but at least they updated the interior and features to keep it competitive. Mazda also recently topped CR’s reliability charts.

[@ksorsomeplace]

If they'd ramp up their appeal...maybe the sedans (dare I say a 2 door ) would sell better. I can't stand driving a bulkmobile (SUV/CUV/TRUCK). Too heavy and not very nimble in handling. Still like a low center of gravity and light car. Passat offers a terrific range and room. Handles better than it looks. Really, the big thing, would be a more responsive engine. IMHO, the 1.8 was better. They've a perfectly good 2.0 with 200+ hp. Why not use that engine in the Passat? GTI always comes across as expensive to me. Not that it is a bad vehicle, but it seems pricey. I'm not sold on the hatchback look. I had a CC and a Passat at the same time. I liked the Passat better: it's braking was better and was more tossable. The CC's brake pedal went to the floor (nearly) before you felt braking. That scared me a bit and in one incident on U.S. near Canton, MI almost resulted in me rear ending someone. But, the CC's driving nannies were much less intrusive. I would have preferred a merger of the two. The CC's looks and interior with the conventional automatic (over the DCT) and the larger fuel tank and better brake pedal operation.

[@Isles8]

It feels like a failure compared to the competition. The interior is just dated, the exterior is nice but other than not an eye-catcher. For the price your better off with an Accord, Camry, and Mazda 6 since they are up to date with tech. I am not saying that it is a totally awful car just not a good value anymore in my opinion to the competition.

I'd actually say the interior is a high point for this car. It's old fashioned but nice and clean. Exterior agreed. And also agree that I'd take an Accord, Camry or Mazda 6 over this.
