Thanks for watching! So it’s not as sporty as I was expecting, but it’s still a pleasing drive with good get up and go, comfortable, and unique with styling cues and that tuned exhaust. Let me know what you think!
You probably dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my brother for the last couple of months =)
I couldn't less what anybody says. I bought this car in Platinum gray and I've received 100's of compliments about the looks of this car. Ranging from being very handsome, gorgeous, sleek, beautiful, etc. I love this car and the price is unbelievable. The drive is wonderful and has more than enough power. I only need to get the windows tinted and the looks can compete with several much more expensive cars that cost twice as much. This car is bad ass!!
For a Car UA-camr with only 12k subs (Dunno if You have another channel or something), your video quality is Great! Well structured, well presented & interesting. Good job man! Keep it up & you´ll get big.
i have this car. for 25k its a good deal. I love the way it drives. its not perfect but its really good. it sounds really good, and its stylish. im a big dude and its a little low in headroom. I had an issue with the AC but its pretty sweet ride for the price. really fast in sport mode too
I had been waiting for a performance Passat for a couple of years to replace my 2010 Passat Komfort with 200 HP 2.0 turbo and DSG with a new one with at least 200 HP and a DSG. I was in no hurry since I had a pristine 2010 with very low mileage. I saw the GT model on VW's web site, read its specs, and decided to visit a dealer to see one. It took only a short test drive to seal the deal. No regrets. Especially since the model disappeared after less than a full model year. Love the car. It's a true Gran Tourismo in the classic sense - a comfortable touring car with some strong performance characteristics. I could drive it on a several thousand mile trip enjoyably without boredom. A good balance between comfort, simplicity, and performance. In my opinion, better than the SEL with the same engine/transmission pair.
It’s year 2020 now so this good review is old. I own a 2008 Passat Komfort, I’m happy with it, it’s not the most reliable but it does runs good with the 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbo engine. I wouldn’t drive a car with less power. I’m in the market for a used Passat GT because you can’t get a V6 option in the new ones now!
Nice review...Love your videos! I think this car HAD a LOT of POTENTIAL. VW totally missed the mark by omitting such crucial safety tech, especially in a $30K+ sedan. Also, for the lackluster fuel economy, I’d expect that compromise to come with significantly increased performance...also not the case. Maybe do a comparison review of the regular 2.0T Passat?!
Thank you! I agree..it could definitely have been better. That’s a good idea! If I get a chance I will. As of right now I don’t have access to VWs but I’ve reached out to them a couple of times lately and there’s a possibility down the road Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Yeah, it definitely needs some updates...especially since the new Jetta went more upscale. Crazy to think back to 2012 lol..probably the only reason they came out with a “GT” trim, to spice things up a bit. Thanks for watching!
I don't know until when VW is going to remodel its interior, don't wanna flame but this is so out-dated looking interior, but it does look easy to use so that's a plus.
Great review! No offence but the European version of the Passat 2018 is waaaaay better looking both on the outside and the inside. Even the key fob looks better... Sad...
Totally! The right word is MODERN. Your version seriously needs a refreshed look. It's been like 6-7 years since the model receives only a small facelift here and there but nothing different in general. The EU version is so much aggressive and mean looking, especially with the LEDs. I really hope you receive it soon as well but I guess the market is totally different in your country and higher percent of people are pleased with what the current version is and has. Honestly, I dont even like the leather seats as well... Check out the fabric Ergo Comfort Seats... they are so much better for both winter and summer times. Cheers and keep up the great work! +1 sub
I hope we get it too! I’m excited about the Arteon. Those seats sound great...I’m all about comfy seats! I appreciate that a bunch, thank you! Thanks for taking the time to write in too!
You can always modify to add the “more”. How can you say overpriced? It’s basically a bargain midsize sedan with a proper VR6 motor. This is the same motor from the 2016 Porsche Cayenne base model...

This, or the 19' SEL premium? What do you think.

I have had this car for 2 years now. Its been a fantastic car. Thanks for the review.
How is the gas? What kind of gas do you use

I’m looking a getting a used one possibly this year, hopefully I can find one when the time is right. Might get this over the A4.

Really hope we get the new Passat soon
Do you work at a VW place?
Nope, I was at a Honda dealership before, now I’m at Lexus :)
Ok I thought so! Sweet man, love Lexus
2020
Would be nice if VW still had the Synchro option. Rear seat legroom is amazing in this model.
Yeah it definitely was plenty spacious!
how do you make the headlights flash like 0:39 ??
It's due to the frame rate of the camera vs the pulse rate of the LED. Same as if you video a computer screen.

Nolannnnn, dope video man like your vibe!
Thank you very much! 😁
Great vid man thank you for sharing!
Thanks for Watching Sunny!
I have the 2015 SEL premium with the VR6. I wish they gave me the flat bottom steering wheel. 😢
I was at CarMax today and I saw that car in black and I really want to get it I’m waiting for they to get the tidal idk why I can’t wait
Nice GTI look
Does it have a compass in this vehicle?

Johnson Smith I feel that it is a good balance for someone who doesn’t want too much automated intervention. But you’re right about the fuel economy.
Great Review. This car is soooo old. I wonder when VW will finally redesign it. This was all new for the 2012 model year.
Thank you! Yeah, it definitely needs some updates...especially since the new Jetta went more upscale. Crazy to think back to 2012 lol..probably the only reason they came out with a “GT” trim, to spice things up a bit. Thanks for watching!
I have a 2012 that I've kept in excellent shape and most people think it's very new.
why not put the v6 in the Tiguan ?????? Doesnt make sense
It’s actually nice., pricing as well! Nice video!
Yes that’s right! Thank you!
Would be nice if vw turbo charged the Passat or Jetta v6 before they stop all gas production :(
thanks shorty
I don't know until when VW is going to remodel its interior, don't wanna flame but this is so out-dated looking interior, but it does look easy to use so that's a plus.
Yeah it definitely needs to be updated. Hopefully soon, but yeah otherwise you’re right it was pretty practical and easy to use
Hmmm this or a V6 Camry XSE?
This would be a better price but the Camry is nicer all around IMO, id go V6 Camry XSE
Great review! The car is very inexpensive so you get your moneys worth. Enough said!
Yes for sure and thank you! It’s great to see a V6 option at this price!
The trunk hinges are annoying and mildly impair the utility of the trunk.
It’s a vr6 btw not a v6
Yes you’re right. Still a V6…just a very sharp angled V lol. I still should call it what it is, the classic VR6. Thanks for watching!
Feel like they spent all their money on the engine and skimped on some of the interior features.
Yeah I agree. Especially considering the Jetta has nicer materials...even though it’s all-new. Thanks for watching!

Big porker of a car, yet somehow it fascinates me! I got a quote yesterday on one for $24,600...not sure what to do.
It’s very intriguing, especially for the price and that’s awesome you got that quote! Got your eye on anything else?
And a Dodge Charger is what??? Jabba the Hut???

Sounds good cause it a VR6.. Not a V6.
A vr6 is a v6
this is just a typical VW badge job...gutless, bad ergonomics, overpriced...
Would have been nice to see more out of it huh?
