It's the car you buy when you become mature enough to appreciate the qualities it has, which are far deeper and more complex than most other cars in the segment that try to get you by being flashy and having an in your face approach. Passat is a car you start to love and appreciate fully after you live with it for a while, it's not a car that makes you fall in love with it when you see it for the first time. From personal experience I can tell you a Mazda 6 is a far nicer looking car outside and more attractive inside, until you live with it. It's like a really hot model girl that you fall for, but after a while realize there's not much behind her pretty face. Then you live with a Passat and realize it's better in every single fucking way, might look like a nerdy chick with glasses and average body, but you realize she can cook like nobody else, she has excellent taste in movies and music, she knows a lot about a lot of things, has interesting hobbies, etc. Just like a Passat is superior to a Mazda 6. Better sound proofing, better seats, better seating position for long trips, more relaxing to drive and travel in, better sound system, better climate control, better lights, better wipers, more solid interior, nicer materials, no reflection of the dashboard on the windshield when you drive towards sun, all the buttons have a satisfying action, etc. All these things that add up and make you realize that VW spent MUCH more time and money fine tuning every little detail on the car to be as good as they can possibly make it, instead of the "that will do" approach other cheaper cars have. Might not look exciting, but to me that's a plus. Especially the interior. There is something calming and satisfying about the design of VW interiors, they just feel "right" and "original", must be OCD personality where everything has to be perfect and in order, but to me this Passat interior feels like THE car interior standard in the class, while everyone else is just experimenting with changes and ultimately ending up with an inferior product.

This car may get some hate from certain people but I have to say it has a graceful design. I'd go as far to say this is one of the most understated and mature designs right now. Recently cars have become too 'loud' and fixated on making statements, probably because the target demographic is also keen on 'expressing themselves' through material possessions.

I bought the R Line estate diesel version 187bhp, always had beamers and i have to say the passat is a more refined all rounder, the comfort, power, space economy with my most recent run i got 71mpg, granted i drove like a grandma to get it but it did do it. Im averaging 1200km to a full tank and its a 2016 with 220k on the clock which you cant fault for an 8 year old car. The r line has the better body kit, flat bottom steering wheel, comfortable seats with electric lumbar support. Had it 2 months now and would def recommend to anyone looking for a nice wagon that caters for any need

@@m23m23What BMW do you have? I’d say the Passat is more refined than anything lower than a comparable 3-Series or 4-Series; I also think the interiors are comparable in terms of quality. Something larger like a 5-Series however will be leaps and bounds ahead of this Passat, although keep in mind they are in different price brackets. I would highly recommend test driving one of these Passats as well if you’re a BMW owner. If you’re used to the sporty driving feel of BMWs you might not like the Passat as the Passat is more of a relaxed cruiser like the Audi A4.

Thanks a lot for this complete review.The greatest thing about Passat is that this car says nothing about the owner's social position and it offers a quite good level of quality and performaces.

I got the saloon about half a year ago only the 1.6 and it's the standard model (I bought used) but on the whole it's impressed me massively, it's superb to drive around in day to day due to its massively comfortable ride and solid cabin insulation, the engine is punchy and frugal (but it does suffer from low rpm lag which can be annoying pulling away from junctions in a hurry) the space and build quality is brilliant the only thing that annoys me is the boot lip which obstructs loading and can make loading larger parcels or items a hassle, all in all I've done over 20K miles in it I get brilliant MPG, other people think it is a much more expensive car than what it was and even though mine is a basic model I have more than enough standard equipment to see me through in my day to day job (taxi driver I know haha typical taxi car but hey it works!) also compared to the vauxhall/opel insignia (the passat feels much better built and has smoother and quieter engines) and the mondeo (the only time the mondeo felt better was with a titanium model, but for that money you could get a business se passat which feels like a cheaper audi a6 and it feels much more premium than the ford) all in all I agree with pretty much everything you have said about the passat matt I just wish I bought one from new so I could spec a few more toys to mine and get a DSG Auto because this car deserves one!

Last week (after 6 years) the drains on the sunroof blocked and wet the front pillars and carpet. Cleared with a £3 Strimmer line. One of the best cars I have owned.

I actually whiz down back roads in my VW Passat Estate o_O Also the adaptive suspension has advantages over the normal suspension even if you always keep it in "normal" as it can adapt to all kinds of situations like adapting the rear shocks based on bumps the front felt or to reduce body roll while cornering (even in comfort mode there's usually shockingly little body roll even when cornering hard). The normal suspension can't do any of these things.

The only bit of stats involved is fuel economy, I spent most of the time in a 2.0 150hp diesel and I wasn't visiting the fuel station often at all.

One thing I've noticed about LED brake light of the VW group is that others respond better to it because it's blindingly bright even in daylight. Problem is, there are regulations that state a light source in the brake lights can only be X watts strong. But LEDs get a lot more juice out of those watts, so the effect is that LED brake lights are as bright as the manufacturer is willing to go. And that is stupid. And dangerous.

I think the new Passat looks better than the new 5-series estate. BMW ran out of ideas so they just combined the headlamps to the grill and added a hockey stick to the side (plus downgraded the back lights by removing one led stripe leaving only two left).

Good evening Mat, I have a one question about you. Which brand is your nice coat? Thanks for answering.

You should try doing a parking test in the videos to see how well they fit as parking spaces are way too small lol

"Percieved quality"... bit of a back-handed compliment there. ;)

Drove a Passant in Germany 18 months ago. Great car! I really loved it. My car turned off at stops. Does this one?

10tenman10 you accually need to turn off turning off at stops. My dad had the same problem but turned it off and its good now. (Sorry for my bad English im from Slovakia)

Around the 3-4 min mark, picture quality seems poor. As if the camera is out of focus. Have you got a new editor or new equipment?

Seriously, just get a Skoda Superb. It has even more space and is cheaper. Looks better aswell.

With the passing of the Holden Commodore and the Ford Falcon in Oz, this could be the car to replace my Mitsubishi 380.

Business perspective i think is one of the best i have watched reviewed, but other than that for example going on a pic nic or anything that involves entertainment is not even worth thinking about it :( no fun. On the other hand i find this car usefulness that will suit better a town-to-town basis commune person.

Why on Earth is this not available in USA? Obviously, it wouldn't be a huge seller, but VW has a small selection of models available in the US, which likely keeps many potential buyers from shopping the VW dealer lots.

I replaced my 09 mondeo with a passat because of its better build quality, but that's where being better ended. It wasn't long before I realised that I'd made a big mistake. The mondeo was better at every thing else especially space, comfort and practically and was a nicer car to drive. I had the mondeo for three years the passat for nine months before replacing it with a 14 reg mondeo. I'll have had it three years next feb and will replace it with the latest mondeo.

Quite like that though I'd like a look at the raised version they put out with extra ground clearance - always had manuals- old school.
