2012 Volkswagen Passat consumer reviews

We have bought several cars from here and will continue to buy. We have always had such great service and this is by far the best car we have purchased.

I love it, power, style, and reliability. I have always driven German car (mercedes) and come to love the good engineer and reliability. Would buy another one for my children in the future.

This car has been reliable for the last 4 years, never had any issues regarding engine or performance. Was driven longer distances, which increase lasting time of engine.

I hand picked this black 2012 Passat with sunroof while working as a salesman at a dealership for my girlfriend 2 years ago. She still has it and loves it! Like, really really loves it! Says its her perfect car in looks, features, etc. I enjoy and drive it also. Im purchasing my very own exact same (except no sunroof) 2012 Passat in blue for myself this week. Getting rid of my beautiful Chevy Malibu for the all VW family household. I ll leave a review in the future about mine, but since its the same as hers, im sure it will be a similiar review. Thanks. P.S. The only thing ive never liked about this car is the abrupt jerk when changing gears starting off. Volkswagen dealer said its like a turbo jerk. Thats about the only thing i can think of ive never liked. It doesnt do it all the time, but definitley if you press down on gas pedal instead of pressing lightly.

I was lucky enough to have been bought this car as my first. It’s very spacious on the inside and I love driving it. I have had no problems with it in the time that I’ve owned it. The engine has just the right amount of pick up for the roads o typically drove (between 45-70). Not only are the front and back seat spacious but the trunk is as well, I can fit all of my athletic equipment and hunting gear with no problem. My overall favorite thing about this car is the comfort, I have a 90lb dog who loves to go for rides, and he can move around with ease without bumping or distracting me one bit! I was skeptical at first about the whole “ forging made car” thing but I’ve had many friends that have owned Volkswagens and and loved them. I’m planning on taking this car to college and I can’t wait!

This car is a great runner. Very low maintenance. I opted out of VW suggested services every 10,000 miles and have not had a problem. If I didn’t need a truck I would not be selling this car!

I don’t think there is another car in the same category that has this much rear legroom. The design is perfect, all in all it’s all I need from a car and more!

This car is the best manual 5 speed I ever owned. It runs very quietly, has adequate horsepower and has all the features that I wanted, except for builtin Navigation. Very pleased with it so far

Meh. Looked nice. Fishtailed in the snow. Overall ok. I had a diesel and when there was a gasoline shortage and lines were crazy or there was no gas, I was golden!

I have thoroughly enjoyed owning my 2012 VW Passat. Maintenance has been easy and minimal, gas mileage is good, interior feels like good quality and comfortable. I mainly bought the Passat over the Jetta for two reasons: 1 - I'm 6'3 and even with the driver's seat positioned how I want, a similarly tall person can sit behind me. 2 - the inline 5 is just as responsive as the 2.0T with less maintenance. Note: due to living in a colder climate, I cannot go 10k miles between oil changes. The oil filter crushes itself if I wait that long.
