Really nice relaxing car. VW is back to its best. Looking forward to seeing a review of the new Golf 8.5 please Nick. Good comprehensive review Nick, well done
Thank you! I can’t wait to check it out either!
I enjoyed watching the Video 😊
Thank you! 🙏
I love the background that you have used for the VW filming. While not a VW fan, I can appreciate that the Passat is longer, more like a wagon (sort of). One question I have is in the boot. If you don't use the compartment privacy roller blind, does it store somewhere in the car when removed? One complaint I have with my Mercedes GLC Coupe is if I remove it, there is no place in the car to store. I do have a spare tire in mine. Great Review as always. Wish more reviewers were as professional (location, editing) as you are.
It just happened to be the place they had the event! 😅 (there might be another soon!)
But yeah it was awesome! Sadly I didn’t take that out so not sure if it’ll store underneath.
Thank you! I always try and find somewhere quiet to film! 🎥
It looks like a nice family car, perfect for putting large loads into the boot space, comfortable too, although I would go for the green colour,as there is a certain classic vibe with it.
Yeah it certainly is! There’s so much space in the back! 👍🏼
Thank you for watching! 🙏
R-Line is my favourite trim 😊
Mmmm still not sure .. think I'd still go for a Audi or Merc .. But thanks for the revue Nick
Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
The USB-C port by the rear mirror, interested to know if it is powered 24/7 or just when the car is running.
That is a good question! Sadly I didn’t get to test that while I was there as I had a short time with the car
But I would imagine it turns off when the ignition goes off. I’ve never seen a modern car keep them on.
I have a question for you about Mercedes eqs is it true that it does not have self or automatic opening doors when you walk up to the car with your keys and I don't mean just Unlocking The Doors
No sadly not on anything I’ve seen or covered in the UK.
I think it’s available elsewhere in other countries though
Nick, you cover everything on the steering wheel and console except the cruise control. A lot of other people will do the same thing, talk about the "volume" and the "phone" and the "screen" and the "infotainment" and the "A/C", the seats, the air scarf, the ashtray, the cup holders, the storage bins, the door storage, the handles, the USB ports, the dash, the stitching, the leather, the speakers, the floor mats, champagne chillers. I sometimes wonder if car reviewers wouldn't be better as real estate agents, than as car reviewers. Please, forgive me for being so literal, but "auto" "mobile" suggests that automatic speed adjustments via cruise control would be integral and of of primary importance.
Thank you for the feedback, honestly it’s more to do with time with the car. I can cover the cruise control if I have the car for an extended period of time but on this occasion and quite a few others I have just enough time to make a video but sadly not go through full details like cruise control in depth.
On the day it’s a choice of what to go through. Yes I could talk about it, but it’s testing it as well in that short space of time as there are others literally waiting to drive it as well. If I had it for hours on end, then yeah absolutely!
On my reviews I only cover stuff that I myself have put my hands on and tested.
But I’ll try and squeeze that in for future videos if you’d like.
My aim is to make videos that people want to watch so if that content helps I will do my best to get it in there too.
@@npoleary ---- I just wanted to know if the CC was on the wheel, where it belongs, like maybe, "And the CC is these buttons on the right." Covering things like distance following, lane keeping, down shifting on hills, speed adaptation by zip code or signage or whatever is a bit more than simple. I won't consider a car that relegates CC to an appendage of the steering column, that you have to reach off the wheel for and turn and twist and fiddle with. One recent major point of interest fro me personally is the lower limit of CC, e.g. will it set and maintain 10mph?
The USB port by the mirror has been on Skodas for a couple of years. The new Passat could be seen as a Skoda with VW badges.
Ah that’s interesting!
Well I’ve heard they’re very similar! 👍🏼
Another feature inherited from Skoda is umbrella in the door of the Passat. :)
Just to add that the USB on Skoda is at the passenger side of the mirror (at least it is here in the uk, I think it may be passenger side too in LHD cars) where you have the dashcam. Bit awkward /ugly if power cable on the VW is only on drivers side.
Ok Nick, time to spend your money. A mid £45,000 VW or a similar priced Mercedes-Benz? Which one will we see you driving around?
Actually I’m looking for a pre-owned car for my daughter. You have inspired me to consider Passat. Thank you!
Haha
What money 😂😅
Well it’ll certainly be one big enough for the dog! 😜
Not sure yet, I’ve got some time to go before I need to change my car
I’ve had one for a month before years ago, and they’re actually really nice cruisers!
@@npoleary Im dying to see your furry friend! Perhaps a short with the two of you?
He’s appeared in a couple of videos 😜
Xmas video, and the Tesla Model Y one too! 🙏
Only briefly though!
One biggie in a CPO is maintenance costs. Depending on anticipated mileage, warranties and extended warranties, and pre-paid maintenance contracts are considerations. So is the insurance cost. Not that you do not already know more than I about ownership and reliability, just mentioning. I think most cars have some multiple of 10k miles as major maintenance review points.
There is not going to be a saloon version which is why he is reviewing an estate !
There is a saloon version but in China only
@@createdbyteo Also going soon is the Golf.
Plugin 77 miles Great 👍🏻
Yeah that’s so good!
Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
Looks like a bigger MK8 Golf
Yeah not far off!
I guess my current B8 Passat will be my last…
How come? Is that because you have the saloon? Or you don’t like something?
@@npoleary exactly, no more manual saloon and diesel options, at the moment I’m doing around 20k miles a year and I’m all about efficiency and cost effective motoring as I’m not made of money 😂😂
I really don’t like the light bars either, hopefully a 3rd party can deactivate them somehow, the 3 led lights look just fine on their own. If Skoda did saloon Octavia or superb I’d consider but it looks like a lot a car manufacturers are slacking imo, not much I like atm😏😏
Fair enough
Well I’ve covered a few saloons on my channel and plan to cover more going forward so keep an eye out! 😎
@@npoleary ok. I am a bit particular though, must haves for me are diesel (because of my crazy mileage), preferably German, adaptive cruise control and reliable
The exterior lacks class like the older model

Don't be upset VW, but the Passat has become the uglier brother of the Skoda Superb! And being uglier is also a little cheaper! In my country, the basic version starts from 34000 euros, and the Superb Sedan from 35000 euros.
This design is very random, doesn’t say VW. No unique looks, like the VWs of old.
