Volkswagen Passat

One of the seriously underrated cars in its class. The Passat is a sleek and modern family sedan with a very spacious interior which is on par with a Toyota Camry.

Power, refinement, build quality and fuel efficiency trumps its class rivals of a similar depreciation as well such the Mazda 6 2.0, Camry 2.0 and Accord 2.0.

Overall, a very enjoyable car to own and drive as it looks sleek and performs very well. It will be hard to find a replacement at such a price point when the COE ends.

Parts wise, many workshops carry VAG spares so they are readily available and parts cost has definitely dropped over the years with increased ownership of VAG cars.

Don't let the uninformed fool you into thinking VW is very unreliable. Every car brand even the Japs have their issues and their parts arent that cheap but just that every one is so used to saying VW = unreliable so thats how it's been.

Bought 2.0L R-Line. This is my 5th Volkswagen.

From Jetta 1.4 TSI (170 bhp), to Golf GTI MKV (200 bhp), to Scirocco 2.0 (210 bhp) to Golf 1.4 GT (170 bhp) to Passat 2.0 (220 bhp).

Wonderful car ownership experience thus far. All my cars were with the 6 speed DSG (wet clutch).

A very nice looking sedan with a powerful 2.0L engine and DSG 6 speed wet clutch gearbox.

Was pleasantly surprised that the infotainment interface has been upgraded to a touchscreen when the brochure is still showing the previous traditional system.

Actually test drove the R-Line Variant version as they do not have a 2L sedan for test drive. Pickup and ride comfort was very good and more than sufficient for the average driver like me.

Definitely among the top of my shortlist!!!

This car has been around for afew years new model coming out soon, but don't see much improvement on the new model.

Pretty good looking car out side, inside the dashboard is decent And well laid out. I Like the virtual cp display, pretty much like Audi, but there are some differences.

Double insulation on the front wind screen(that's whatt was told to me), making the car very quiet when driving. Rear seats space is one of the best in class, spacious fro 3 adults. Rear boot is also big. For a family sedan, it ticks all he boxes if you want a big real estates.

1.8 engine is pretty decent for Singapore roads. Power delivery is more than enoug and its pretty quiet.

The 2 liter engine, used in GTI, however delivery's a different drive. Very sporty, reach to launch forward, and when you accelerate heard the engine growl. If you prefer quiet go for the 1.8 engine. If sporty sound than the 2 liter will suit you.

Best badge that you can get under 130k in its class. Great handling and looks. Not style without substance. Huge boot, great acceleration, great ability for tuning. Stage 3 has 350HP. Comfy cruiser but super sporty when you want it to be. So quiet inside almost like EV. More quiet than prius when travelling 100km/h.

A car every family should look out for and have when it comes to comfort and safety. -Family of six. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Got my first VW Passat 1.8 highline last week. Great car to drive. Fast acceleration. Very spacious interior and nice interior lighting ambience at night. Interior finish is nice with clean design. Sunroof added a spacious feel. Nice infotainment system which includes GPS, Carplay support, Auto Android and Bluetooth for mobile. Massage and memory function available at driver seat. Spacious boot. Back seats fully foldable. Exterior design is simple and clean look. LED head lights with daylights LED. 5 years warranty!

Not sure why there are negative comments about Passat. But price wise, this car provide more values as compared to XE, 318, A4 and C180.

No value for what you pay!

testing car sound insulation is good. But delivered one is different. May be tires, engine oil, tuning are different.

Own this car few months. Engine is good. Nice Space. Have some issues and went back to workshop many times already.

Finally it was time for an upgrade to the continental segment after years of being thrifty! A competition between the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes Benz C Class was the popular consideration back then, but i believe a new dark horse is chasing up. The Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI has impressed many with it's performance, built quality, interior spaces and needless to say, it's good looks.

As most of us Car Enthusiast will already know, the Passat is actually on the same platform as the Audi A4. With the similar TSI/TFSI Engine(2015 A4 Model), 7 speed DSG gearbox and the same Chassis platform as well. The interior cabin space has made many heads turn towards the New Passat as it is very much comparable to the A6 instead. Built quality of the interior is surrounded with soft leather and up to Techs with the Highline version. Lastly, if moolahs($$) is the main buying factor, in which will apply to most of us Singaporean. The Passat is having a depreciation of only $14k/annual as compared to A4's $16k/annual. Or you desperately want a Luxury Continental Passat, you can go for Volkswagen's pre-owned department for it's management units like me, who gotten mine at a depreciation of only $11k-13k/annual.

Test drove this car few months ago and general feeling is a stable car with reasonable nice interior. Sale rep told me the trimming is comparable to Merc E class but after viewing C class I beg to differ.

Went to test drive it. Been thinking of changing my Golf to something with a boot. Gave my SE a call and he recommended the Passat 2.0. Test drive it along Jervois road. The feeling was how can such a big car handle as good as the golf.

The VW Passat is beautifully designed and is a comfort to drive. Powerful and gear changes very fast / seamlessly, possibly because this is on a wet clutch as compared against its other cousin. Hence it gave me comfort to know it is more reliable.

Interior is comfortable and nicely done up. Lots of features and for that price, I think it is worth it.

Car is also roomy and bootspace is sufficient for me to put in baggages and children's pram.

Tested and Booked Passat Highline.

Passat is generally compared to the likes of Mazda 6, Camry and Accord, however with the current version, the Passat has definitely up-classed to Merc Bmw level.

The interior is spacious, especially with the panoramic sunroof opened, with good visibility all around.

The dash is logically laid out, buttons, console and materials used feel and look premium.

Cabin insulation is very close to C class, or even better. There is very very little tyre and wind noise.

Boot Space has a big opening, with folding rear seats for added practicality.

Leather seats are very comfortable and the massage + memory function is a welcome addition. Footwell space is roomy with a dead pedal to put your left foot.

DSG7 issue has been rectified by VW and performs flawlessly. Gear changes are smooth and there is ample power throughout the rev range. Steering is light and have sufficient feedback and with the feel of a much smaller car.

One of the best-looking Volkswagen in town. The new Passat comes with an updated corporate profile with LED lights front and back.

Slightly longer and wider than its predecessor, the car has a stronger road presence and at the same time provides more interior spaces for the comfort of the passengers.

The updated 1.8l engine with 7-speed DSG gearbox provides a smooth and comfortable ride. When extra power is needed, the turbocharger will ensure sufficient torque and power is supplied.

The new Passat is definitely one of the best-buy executive sedan in the market.
