I live in saudi arabia and have this car. Quite possibly the best car I’ve ever experienced throughout my life and it doesn’t break. It just passed 340,000 km and now it’s in the shops and i quite miss it. Truly a masterpiece.

[@pAirA_]

Need more of that 5 cylinder soundtrack in my life

[@Moyerboy78]

That engine sound is one of the best. Love 5 cylinders. You always do a great video man, the kind I like to watch....just the car driving...the engine note, shifting, etc. Nice work 🙌🏼

Thanks for driving a Passat! Finally! I have a 2015 with the 1.8T.

[@koruptedwolf6579]

how do you like it?

[@Elivayshon]

@@koruptedwolf6579 Love it. It does have its stupid small hiccups every now and then, yet again that’s how it goes with VWs. Other than that, I’ve been extremely happy with the car. Almost 80,000 miles. It’s been driven a lot and has done the job without too much complaint. VW did a great job with that car. I didn’t care too much about it until I test drove the 1.8T. Fell madly in love with it.

[@Elivayshon]

Also, I don’t recommend putting aftermarket wheels unless you wanna deal with getting them balanced correctly. It’ll be a long journey. Stick to factory wheels if you can.

[@pauld6754]

Just like mine!!! 5 cylinder sounds gives me chills

[@ashtonrussell4820]

Aye some more smooth driving lets gooooo👏👏🙏

[@hs_doubbing]

I got T-boned in my 2012 Mazda 3 a few days ago, and I’m fairly certain it’s totaled. I think I’m going to try and pick one of these up as a replacement. This is an incredible car for 2013, and for its current price.

[@turbo1997hsm]

My 2012 Sonic was T-boned yesterday. It looks totaled to me. I'm looking at this as my next car as well.

[@novus6625]

Best video ever, I will be getting my 2013 passat at the end of the week!!!🙂

[@8VD80Y]

I have one and love it!

[@jonesbunny]

6 weeks later I fell in love with it. I was always a jetta lover. Passat is more room, drives and handles well.

[@AintNoGGG]

how many miles did you buy it with ?

[@clover7359]

For anybody who thinks the 3rd gear is weird, the torque converter locks up when warmed up and shifts into 3rd. That explains the pause and exaggerated rpm difference.

[@Nycholas1998]

Yup my moms 2011 Tiguan did the same thing. You can’t feel it , you can just hear it.

[@AppleGuy7]

love your videos

[@jmflores1970]

I couldn't afford the SE model, so I have the S model with the Appearance package and it having the same 2.5L V5 engine, it definitely has a very responsive but comfortable quiet ride. I'm still very impressed with it after all these years. :) I read somewhere that VW owned Lamborghini during this time and decided to take the V10 out of the Gallardo and use 5 cyclinders in the Jetta and 5 cylinders in the Passat which explains the excellent performance response from this 5 cylinder engine.

[@herberttorres3822]

I got one recently. Is a good commuter car, quiet and comfortable. Good on gas too.

[@garageauto5275]

Is the transmission whine normal? i test drove a vr6 passat (DSG) and it had some transmission whine just like this 2.5 tiptronic one.........

[@LandLos.]

love how it kinda sounds like the 4A-GE

[@vitaliyzvarych4740]

If you want to review my 2006 Jetta 2.5 just ask. Has the same engine and transmission but is lighter in weight. Also its a special OEM color that I personally never seen on any other Jetta.

[@workingmanaudio2754]

Actually the mk5 and B7 Passat weight the same. However the Mk6 is lighter.

They're still on the road, they've just been reprogrammed to emit less pollution. I own one as a daily driver and I wouldn't trade it in for nothing! I only wish VW still sold diesels in America.

[@lordmeme_]

As much as I want to disagree with your statement about not buying them you’re not entirely wrong. I don’t fully agree with the whole “only VW fanboys buy them,” but usually yeah going to get one is a hassle. Is it like every VW dealerships mission to make it as hard as possible to buy one? lol
