|
2002 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member2569 strong performance especially from low to mid RPMs compared to others in the class (accord camry etc.) not on level with stronger offerings from BMW, Mercedes etc. |

|
2007 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member471 Best mix of power, economy, responsiveness and economy available. Economy almost as good as TDI diesel predecessor. |

2004 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons wcpowell12 Lack of power, lack of power, lack of power. Did I mention a miserable lack of performance? |
|

|
2008 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member2378 This is the first car I have owned that actually pushes you back in the seat when accelerating. Quite amazing when compared to the competition. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member988 Smooth and powerful engine, quiet, plenty of low-end torque, and decent fuel economy |
|
2003 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons A member in New Jersey, United States Relatively low horsepower for a V6 engine, but it has gobs of torque. Excellent for pulling the wagon and towing; comfortable for stop-and-go. Merging on the highway is a breeze, especially impressive for such a heavy car. Quiet, smooth, refined. |
|
2007 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member670 Power with low fuel consumption. Smooth and Torqey. Turbo charging with minimal lag. |
|
2003 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States The 1.8T is an amazing little engine, capable of almost 100 hp/liter with an average of 20city/32hwy mpg. The best kept secret is the ability to "upchip" the engine to 214 hp and 247 lb-ft while maintaining the same fuel efficiency, all for under $1K. |
|
2004 Volkswagen Passat Pros and Cons Member562 Smooth and fast, with plenty of reserve - never feels taxed |
