Great Video! I am getting this model tomorrow. It is used but in the same condition as the one you showed. Thanks for taking the time to make this content.
Just bought my first real car! at least one from a real certified dealership. I've bought a few that have broken down on my within a year but i got a VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition. I'm starting to like it more and more every day!!! kinda wish I had the back up camera, but that's alright I consider myself an expert parker, at least I used to be a valet haha
I bought one of these for $10k with 82,000 miles about 16 months ago. It has left me stranded three times with bad alternators, but I found out it was because of crappy aftermarket alternators, so I forked over the money for a genuine part. Other than that, it’s been pretty good. I have 91k on it now. Pretty soon I’ll be fixing a fuel system leak and getting a timing belt job done.
I wish the tdi was still offered in America. My dad bought a 15 Passat tdi 6m back in September 19 and then like 6 months later we got a 15 a3 tdi and all I can say is they’re awesome daily’s.
@@thatcarguy005 yessir. My dad was coming from an 09 Corolla s with a 5 speed that got totaled. He was pretty dead set on getting another manual. He was lucky to find one not too far from us. Picked it up back in September ‘19 with 49k miles for 14,999. I think it’s safe to say he’s enjoying 50+ mpg on the highway.
@@thatcarguy005 he doesn’t have Facebook it I’m in it. I’ve posted some pics in there just search for my name you should see a white a3 and a gold passat.
Thanks so much for this video because I didn’t know how to turn on my fog light lol I didn’t know it unlocked like that or had that touch pouch option... you should do this for a living!! Very professional, well spoken and amazing camera handling lol
@@thatcarguy005 maintenance is mainly in engine. I here they take alot of money to up keep. Im looking at 2014 passat 1.8 turbo with 70k no major accidents. Good buy?
NO HEAT - for those with 2014 passat TDI volkswagen extended the warranty on the heater core to 10yr 120k miles, fully transferrable - these are notorious for getting plugged up and no heat in the winter
How do you like it so far? Thinking about getting one. What was the best mpg ? How many miles can you drive on full tank? Anything you would change on this car ? Thanks very nice video keep up the great work !
@@thegeneral1955 I actually have the exact same car the engines r usually a oil burner at 60,000 . Parts are not easy to find in N.Y.C parts can take 2 to 3 days to get here . Now I'm using a Ford parts a few hours or they have it in stock.
The best Vw Passat review. Thanks man that’s what I was looking for.

Glad it was helpful!
Be wary of heater core and RCV, two very common issues.
Already had heater core fail lol... I’m sure it will happen again.

They’re very reliable, when maintained properly.
Awesome! I love the Passat!
Great video man
Love the car. Great style

Thanks. Great video. This confirms that I am making a good choice.
Glad I could help
Just got one. Your video is super helpful

Just got this car yesterday and I love it
I’m glad you love it! I love mine! They’ll last forever!
Hos long do they last
Most of these cars easily can achieve 350k+ miles if maintained properly.

The gas variants are different. Those typically last around 100-150k miles. Diesel variants, like the one in the video, last significantly longer.
Nice car
2.0 L Turbo Diesel 4 Cylinder.
Nice Passat
Very Beautiful Car.
We agree!
how do u keep ur interior so clean lmfao, and how does ur exterior look brand new 👁👄👁
I just don’t get it dirty 👍🏼
@@thatcarguy005 my dad’s jetta’s always clean
wow nice
Still have it? What’s your long term review of this car? I live in florida and have been debating on buying one
i made one more video before i got rid of it, but i just traded it in.
do all of the tdi passat come standard with the dual clutch automatic?
yes. although it’s rare, some had the 6 speed manual. Only in the SE trim.

iPhone 11.

MPG = 40 pretty much anywhere. 800 miles on one tank if all highway driving. This car is super nice. Would totally recommend.
It's a nice car parts are hard to find and it has problems which normal cars don't have
It does not have problems! How dare you!
You might not have problems right now . The parts are plastic junk parts.
Ok bud
Parts are easy to find and the engine is known to last 300k without a beat. What are you smoking?

I have one more year until i can drive my dad wants to buy me a car this is going to be it
Same
i didn't like the stering wheel . why it doesn't came with an R Line Flat button one ?
Please help, how long do they last? Im thinking about getting one in excellent conditions with 70k miles.
Did you end up getting it ? Thinking about getting one in same excellent condition with 101k miles though 😬 if you got it do you enjoy it ?
@@TheDivinediva26 did you end up getting yours?
0:25 first of all, how is the passat have a flip key when there is a push button ignition
Most Volkswagen’s from this era have that
It’s for the door when your key runs out if battery
Sport or regular suspension?
just a regular DSG!
Is it expensive to maintain?
Not really
When I lock mine it doesn’t make a sound
You can change it in your settings in the instrument cluster.
@@thatcarguy005 thank you so much
@@thatcarguy005 I don’t see it
Huh. That’s weird.
Do you need DEF fluid for this ?
Yes. You refill it through the trunk, every 10k miles.
@@thatcarguy005 thank you
yea the remote start system sucks. it shuts off after you you unlock it which makes it pointless
tell me about it smh
Ooh the car has a spinny wheel
Wanna drive?
I would crash that car but sure???
Booster Seat 😎😎
@@thatcarguy005 um.. no
Do you have a licence
How else would he legally have a car
No, I just drive around illegally
@@thatcarguy005 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not lol
@@thatcarguy005 oh
Yes I have a license
Whos car is that
Mine!
@@thatcarguy005 I thought you had a 2016 jetta. (Also, does your family have two houses because Ive seen this and a different house in your vids)
This is another family home, but not my house. I traded in the Jetta.
@@thatcarguy005 u must be rich to be able to go from a BMW to a nice Jetta then to a Passat at age 16-17. Your parents must be millionaires
Good point.
You gotta stop revving the piss out of it
it'll survive.
This can't be a 2014
I don’t know what to tell you then
i have this exact car its a 2014 lol
First
