pidarasblyat Right. It‘s a functional car. Not a pretty one. It‘s supposed to do it‘s job without anything out of it‘s comfort zone. We actually have one. But the old B8 from 2014 and it‘s an Estate. It really does have everything a family needs: It has a big boot, a lot of space in the back, it‘s well made and reliable. What does a family need. And here’s the problem. It may be front wheel drive but it still does spin it‘s wheel quite quickly. And the Traction Control is rubbish. If I were gonna buy one. It would be an Alltrack version because of the four wheel drive.
I would like to try the Euro-spec Passat. I have the 2017 American version (gas 1.8 TSI) which, for most American roads and my age (65), is fairly entertaining, roomy and comfortable. Wish it had the dual-clutch trans. Enjoyed driving around the secondary roads in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in sport mode on a recent trip to California. That is where the car shines. A limiter on U.S. models does not allow speeds above 180kph/112mph.
I’m on my 2nd EA288 Passat. My latest; I found a loaded CPO car at a nearby VW dealership. Just below 50k mi on clock. Rings aren’t even seated yet! New rubber and good to go! My first daily driver w/automatic tranny (early 60’s here!) LUVIN’ it for past 4 months. Eldest son bought one, too, to replace deer-totaled Jetta TDI. VW Passat EA288 w/DSG...HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
People complaining about the noise have clearly never driven one. I have an Audi A8 as well as this gen Passat, and the Passat is very close in terms of sound insulation, the reason its so loud in this video is because there is no noise suppression on the microphone, do the same test in a Mercedes and you'll still hear some wind and road noise.
I can't agree. I used to have an Audi A6 C6 which i took on many roadtrips and the noise deadening was quite better. Now I have a 2016 B8 variant and I just feel like I can hear the engine all the time inside, not so much the wind, but the engine. Don't get me wrong, I love the car and maintenance on the B8 is a lot easier than on a C6 but I still miss some characteristics of the C6.
@@hubertpozniak7900 I was speaking more to road and wind noise; which from my experience was very close between my D3 A8 and B8 Passat. When it comes to engine noise I'd have to agree with you. I have the 2.0 TDI Passat and there is alot of engine noise when revving it. I compared with an Audi A4 B9 and the same 2.0 TDI was quieter and more refined.
My father has Passat 2.0 tdi 2007 variant too. It's highline edition. He's first owner. Today it has only 37 000 km mileage. I love it so much. I'm also taking my driver license exam in a month and can't wait to drive it on my own. He said that he will buy me Golf V/VI. Love Volkswagen
Se. Fischer Well, to be honest - no. I drove that passat for about 2 months - amazing car. Then i had VW polo V 2015 also small kilometrage (20k) 1.2 tsi 90hp. Its a great car fot city driving - small and dynamic. Now i am a happy owner of audi q5 2009 2.0 tdi 170 km. Thats a huge, nice car!
Have the same B8 with 150HP Diesel, but 6-speep manual. Top speed (a bit down hill; A9 close to Munich) is true 227km/h according to my Garmin GPS and the car showed beyond 240km/h on the meter...
I love when I see mine Alfa GT 2.0 jts which is worth 3000 euro can keep up with this car in acceleration and top speed,maybe even outpace this Passat.This Passat is nice I must admit.
@@jakelamotta2387 okay so long you have that M or S mode with the + or - there that engages the sport mode so just shit like you would in a manual but now you'll just push the gear knob up for higher gears then down to engage the lower gears bro
Hallo Überholspur, würdest du sagen das das Facelift Model von VW Passat besser abgedämmt ist als das Vorfacelift Modell? Weil man hört kaum Windgeräusche im Vergleich zum Vorfacelift. lG
is this really top speed flat out? if so why in 6th gear does it never get about about 3.5krpm when you have up to about 5.4krpm to go to, is this governed at this speed or has the engine not enough torque to rev any higher in 6th gear?
Cool video! Is there a such thing as a speeding ticket on that road? =) I have the 2017 Passat and love it. My only complaints are intermittent electronics issues and there is significant road noise.
@@orecrnogorac5388 Because the gears are long enough that it doesn't need it. It just seems unnecessary. It's like putting traction control on a 1963 Beetle, or making a Nissan Versa a 4x4. Like, when is it going to actually use that?
Now is the best time ever to buy VW - quality is up, HQ is watching this closely, really long warranties. Prices are down. MPG on regular is upper 30’s. Really good finance terms/options/rates.
268 ft/# torque.. 150hp. If you flash it add 50/100 with the latest tune. I wonder if is why the big 3, via EPA, took down the gen3 TDI - it also gets 50+mpg at US speed limit on mid-grade priced LS diesel fuel. I just bought a NMS TDI passat that was released from the compound in auburn hills and it rocks. At 162,000miles when the lawsuit warranty extension wears off I think every one of these will be flashed in the aftermarket. The next classic car...
Where you live is really beautiful! Also your driving is really smooth and nice. I just purchased my Passat B8 in Malaysia, loving the car! Unfortunately we do not get a diesel option (which i prefer). Instead mine is the 1.8TSI.
just a family car, or business car, barely passes 200 kmh even with that large 2.0 tdi engine. one expects 300 kmh or something with that engine. not a sport car. drive it when there is powerful side wind, then lets see what happens @ 200 kmh.
I miss the A1, I've got the jetta 2l tdi in canada and I miss driving in Germany. It's soooo slow here and people cannot drive. The autobahn is so fluid in comparison
Very useful video, because I want to compare the noise insulation of Audi A6 and Passat, both 2015-2016. Do you think there is a big noise difference between the 2 cars? Also, is the Audi suspension much more comfortable? Thanks!
Ich frag mich warum das alleine nur bis 200 so lange bei dir dauert...du fährst da nen Stück Bergab und kommst nicht aus de puschen,ich fahr den gleichen als Kombi 6 Gang Schalter und nur 150 PS....und I h zieh dir locker davon🤷♂️
I am driving an April 2018 production Passat 2.0 petrol here in Montreal, Canada and I can tell you it is Rubbish..because it is not made in Germany...My 2013 Golf TDI feels stronger and safer on high speeds and the construction quality and materials is waaaay better....get away from VW made in North America (Mexico and USA)!!! The Passat has now 22420 Km ON THE ODO and I hear some weird voices when going over bumps or uneven roads...so how will it sound and feel like when it will be 150K Km or more??? Good for the Scrap Yard for sure!!! Waiting to get my Golf Tdi back after service and air bag recall!
AH Curious - What is your tire pressure set at? Which tire size? Which model passat ? I have 2015 2.0 TDI and it’s an ox for torque and handling is good on our Florida Highways. let’s be honest, its now a $22K car - which cant host $3000 audi air shocks on it ... my audi has those air shocks and it’s 5 times the price and 5 times the handling. I’m thinking a firm performance bilstein aftermarket strut will be a welcome upgrade at 50K on the passat.
BTW - looking at aftermarket struts just now... The OEM are like $61-124 and Billstein are $250 each side. The strut rod diameter looks to be 3x on the billstein - look at Mfg Part # 35-122074 next to the VW economy grade strut JZW413031A. - that’s a $500 upgrade that will feel like $10K+ of ride increased benefits and control. Why not treat yourself to a pair of Bill. struts for Christmas. No wonder...
Hi, in many parts it is unlimited. If you can you can drive as fast you want +99999 km/h :) Somethimes it is limited to 120/80 and maybe even 40 if there is a road construction area.
Germany.... driving heaven!
