The #VolkswagenPassat was all-new back in 2012 and it’s larger size and lower price allowed it to sell nearly 100,000 units annually. Today, #Volkswagen barely sells 15,000 #Passat models every year and for 2020, the #VWPassat gets a through refresh, but it’s not the all-new platform that Europe and other parts of the world get.

They never invested more more or energy to design and equip this car. He's driving the top trim and it's worse than the base model of much smaller and completely different segment Elantra/Forte, Sentra from the competition. It's cheaper than all the other cars in the segment but still not selling. I wonder why 😂😂😂😂

I think it's a nice, roomy, comfortable car. I took this car out for a test drive and it drove very smoothly. It's a throwback to earlier years, is easy to drive and operate, and although it is not loaded with tons of tech features one comes to expect in today's newer cars, it does have some important updated safety improvements. It has everything you need, actually. The Navigation screen is small and primitive by today's standards. True, but it does come with Apple and Android Car Play so you can always connect your phone and use Waze or Google Maps. In my opinion, sometimes simple is best. And since this is a first-time car for my son, it's perfect.

Absolutely embarrassing. To put a VW badge on this car is insane. The strategic decision to go 'cheap' in the NA market is very sad. Passat is a flagship sedan that deserves the best tech the company offers. Europe and other markets offer appealing and cutting edge tech, stronger engine choices, better fit and finish components etc. ...Just disappointing knowing what it could be.

So does the Legacy and that car is at least brand new for 2020 model year so it should be safer. This car has 2012 safety when it comes to its structure and passive safety. Plus Legacy is AWD and offers a more powerful engine. I’m not saying the Legacy is great, but somehow this Passat manages to be even worse

Man, I really want to like this car. I'm still a huge fan of midsize and fullsize sedans. The styling on this is pretty nice and the quality looks good. But 174hp on a 2 liter turbo? Why so low? And then fuel economy is not as good as the others? It's still good but it could definitely be better. I guess it's maybe because of new emission regulations? I think vw is starting to give up on sedans. Just like ford...

I dont understand all the hate against the 2020 Passat and the 2.0T engine. I just bought a 2020 Passat R-Line, and use 93 octane in it and am very impressed. I drove the new sonata, and new camry and chose the Passat due to the awesome value and certain features it had over the camry SE and Sonata. My Passat has the sunroof, leatherette seating, heated seats, etc whereas the camry se did not have any of these features, and the sonata I looked at was the same price as the passat and had cheap cloth seats. The 2.0T has a lot of low end torque and i just took a trip to NY to VA and averaged 38MPG. This 2.0T is also MUCH more refined than the Camrys base engine with the 8 speed, and has much more low end torque than the 2.5L in the sonata. Sure, the interior is basic and isn't anything special, but it does what it needs to do. For 27k for a brand new 2020 Passat R-Line, I am not complaining.

Function and form are matched perfectly and the sound is very good. Overall this car is an excellent automobile and if you have a soft foot on the go pedal you will easily hit the 30 mpg mark regularly. Current pricing has the SE model selling for around 24K and sometimes even less. That is a whole lotta car for your buck. Get one if you like.

I dont want a CVT, I dont want a digital dash as I like gauges, I dont want polarizing looks. More tech means more stuff to malfunction. I rank the Mazda6 higher on style and interior but it's noticeably smaller. Camry is fine but dime a dozen. The Passat checks off a lot of boxes including still having a large fuel tank which means more range. Only the Legacy also has the 18.5 gallon tank any more. Camry/Altima/Accord keep making their tanks smaller.

I have a 2018 Passat SE w/ technology and I love it. It really is pleasant to drive. I’ve had Acura’s & Audi’s and VW is very similar in terms of driving dynamics and an overall premium feel. It’s smooth & quiet with plenty of passing power. Classy, elegant looking car. Accords and all are great but the Passat is definitely a little more premium in my opinion. There’s just something about German cars that gives the driver a very neutral, planted feel on the road and the VW Passat delivers that feel.

I just picked up a 2020 for $20K lol.. My reason behind it was based off owning a 2016 Jetta 1.4 S 6 speed auto. So the Jetta has the same transmission as this car and it shifts fast and quick with 0 mechanical issues when I traded it in at 100K. The 8 speed auto on the other hand has had complaints over the past 2 years now so I steered away from that. Coming from a Jetta to the Passat the Apple car play, the full LED headlights and tail lights, extra roomy interior sold me. I frankly love the cloth seats in the base model Passat not a big fan of leather. The extra weight rides a little nicer on the highway also.. I also do Uber on the side so at times it could come in handy for that and commuting 18-20 miles a day it soaks up some of the road bumps and other crap roads. I'm waiting for Unitronic to finish there tune for this car and then will add it to the car for the ultimate bland sleeper lol!

Just got a 2020 sel. Great retro car. Don’t miss the stop start. As is does not have it don’t miss and the 10 speed trans doing the samba searching for a gear. 6 speed more simple and adequate. It’s a retro car. 206 pfe of torque is plenty. A great cruiser car. Very elegant feeling. My 9th vw. Getting a set of continentals. Get rid of the giti tires.

We've had our 2012 for many years, been a fantastic car, isn't a vehicle we'll be parting with any time soon. Seems that most here are wanting a Mercedes but wanting to pay GM prices. You can't have both. But you can have a more premium feel in this car than most Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Hyundai and Nissan.

VW still seems lost with this offering. But then again I don't think they ever truly recovered from Dieselgate here in the US. I doubt this car lasts that much longer, much like the Ford Fusion riding on a similarly ancient platform.

I leased Jetta Wolfburg edition back in 2010. Month into my lease the automatic transmission had to be replaced. Later the engine was leaking oil. Needless to say that was the first and last VW I drove. I think the reason for poor sales are their reliability issues and cost of ownership.

That is actually one of the better engine notes I've heard from a car at this price point in last 5 years. Sounds a helluva lot better than any crossover you can buy in the $20k-30k range and seems to shift smoothly and predictably. Also, you can get a mid-level trim for $20,000 (advertised on website) from my local VW Dealer. Who else is even close to this price point for a mid-level midsize sedan (most are 5-8k more)? Seems like everyone is picking out all the undesirable features from this car. It's not all about infotainment. Would be interested to test drive this thing back to back with a Sonata and Accord. I bet there is really not much difference in the drive. Car seems like a huge bargain to me.

Wish you could go back to your original videos. It was repetitive and the same video concept. but so does other car reviewers. I really enjoyed your older car reviews where you start from exterior, interior, revving, engine compartment, then driving impressions at the end. I mean just look at your views and see how much it has dropped. Please just go back.

It looks like it has a simple interior similar to Mazda which I prefer over say the Camry’ swoop design. If you get a significant deal to could be a good car.

I like the updates to the exterior, but, they need better tech in the car, especially for the price of that SEL trim. Some of us like traditional looking sedans. I have a ‘19 Camry SE. Its a nice vehicle but just too sporty for me. I always owned a Grand Marquis. I miss being able to get a full size sedan like that.
