    We owned a Passat 1.8T and you're right, lots of torque! Pulls like a diesel on the low end. VW makes a great car when it's under warranty.

    • @lfsracer79
      @lfsracer79 7 років тому +28

      Exactly, get rid of it before it's out of warranty...

    • @DeniJasmina
      @DeniJasmina 7 років тому +9

      Luis Sousa We’ve had the euro Passat but it couldn’t compete with the mainstream Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. Too small and too expensive, VW was forced to come up with a bigger locally produced Passat that would sell better. The US Passat now sells in of course America, but also in Canada, Mexico, Middle East, South Korea.

    • @SDav21
      @SDav21 7 років тому +6

      mercguy658 The Euro Passat isn't exactly small. If you've ever been in one you'll know it's very spacious and very high quality. It has more than enough space for families that need a car like that. I think cost contraints is the reason you guys don't get the Euro Passat. The quality and technology will make it too pricey. But it's pricey for a reason. The Euro Passat easily competes with the 3 series and C Class and A4. You may as well just get the Euro Passat over an A4. However, people always take the Audi badge over the VW one even though the Passat is just as good.

    • @DeniJasmina
      @DeniJasmina 7 років тому

      SDav21 What qualities are better on the B8? What technologies can you get on the euro model that you cannot get on the NMS? I sat in the euro and haven’t seen anything really much different when it comes to equipment. And the euro Passat is a lot smaller, it’s a fact.

I’ll admit to being a VW guy as I have owned 5 buses and 8 bugs over the years. I have a 65 bug I am restoring to stock and a 67 I am doing a sleeper build on.

    @sliknik1025 6 років тому +1

    It sure looked like one guy can launch and the other can’t. It’s obvious Sonata is a faster car, but it has a lot more power. It’s also cheaper (MSRP), plus you can get good discounts and rebates, making it a lot cheaper. Plus it has 10 year warranty and requires regular gas, unlike the VW that requires premium. Plus VW is a German car. It comes with German car maintenance. That means reliability and prices. But it’s a good car and the engine is great and has great low end torque. We bought a new fully loaded Sonata 2.4 Limited with both packages for $22k (33k MSRP). It was a steal. Very happy with it. If you put it in Sport mode it makes a big difference. Not sure if they used Sport mode in this video. Both great cars. We made our choice.

    • @mbd501

    My Dad owns a 17 Passat (on my recommendation) and says it's the best car he's ever owned. Besides the fact that my dad is NOT a techie and did not like all the features being thrown "in your face", the Sonata barely fit in the garage as compared to the Passat. If the Sonata was slightly smaller, he might have gotten it instead.

    thing is that, the hyundai has a detuned theta engine.. the generation before the LF (or before 2015, so 2014 and under) had the same engine but it was tuned for high rpm boost so it got 274HP. the newer sonata aimed for lower rpm range around 3500 rpm.. i have a 2015 and it moves! my ECU got upgraded 50-60 hp with a 500$ ecu remap and it dominates the streets! faster than golf R's, c43, and others

  • @CFG39
    @CFG39 6 років тому +1

    Something is wrong with Hyundai's horsepower ratings. They always have competitive claimed ratings but they're never as fast as the cars in their class that have less power. Genesis G80 is a prime example, as is the sister company's Kia Stinger. The 2.0T Hyundai engine is just a dog.

      The Passat looks much more elegant and clean. That’s why they style it that way to keep it looking fresh even in the future so it doesn’t look outdated. Most Hyundai’s from 2014 and below are starting to show age.

  • @TxChristopher
    @TxChristopher 6 років тому

    If you brake torque the Sonata you kill its power, the computer cuts back the boost and limits it to like 10 pounds causing a really slow launch. Just let it idle and flat punch it off the line and it will burn off the tires all the way across an intersection as it strongly takes off. The Sonata will destroy the Passat if you know how to drive.
    You guys wrecked this race by not knowing what you were doing.

  • @Mallcrawler
    @Mallcrawler 7 років тому

    It’s a matter of gear ratios and Hyundai’s soft throttle mapping. The Passat has a lower final drive then the Hyundai, combined with the lower weight it has a small advantage. The vw has a peaky engine calibration while the sonata is smoother. The sonata is faster than the Passat down the 1/4 no doubt. Driver also makes a huge difference.

  • @darinmartin7735

    Yes the Sonata takes time to spool up and Hyundai suspensions are still behind most (including VW) major auto makers. As far as appearance the Sonata has way too much grill although some viewing angles are pleasant. The doors on the Passat are cast from a single piece of steel in a mold (no spot welds which translates to strength in impacts).

  • @christophershull5688
    @christophershull5688 6 років тому

    The Sonata cannot be brake torqued like that, it limits boost to 10 psi when you do that and kills power like crazy. If they would have just flat punched it then it would have been MUCH quicker off the line. My 2018 will blow the tires off all the way across the street, not barely take off like the one in the video did. Lack of knowledge wrecked the results here.

    The Hyundai should have done a lot better with 65 more horses and around 60 extra torque. I think the Sonata would be a lot quicker with more break in miles!

    I think the extra $3-7,000 you are forced to pay for things like traction control and other driver assist nannies are a waste. You only need ABS. TC does all the wrong things if you happen to start losing traction and know how to correct with throttle and counter steering. These cars should have at least a 2.0 turbo or a na v6, period. With gas so cheap, I would rather have horsepower than mpg's. The problem is American buyers like tech, nannies, and prius like mileage. It's more about the Amercan culture, unfortunately.

  • @Taipans
    @Taipans 6 років тому

    Have the same VW and I gotta say the TC is straight BS. Not saying the VW is that quick (it's not really), but you can't turn off TC and the lower end torque suffers. I am not sure if the Sonata has perm TC though. Just complaining lol

      @Eldomibori 7 років тому +18

      The Passat looks much more elegant and clean. That’s why they style it that way to keep it looking fresh even in the future so it doesn’t look outdated. Most Hyundai’s from 2014 and below are starting to show age.

    • @supernova4300
      @supernova4300 7 років тому +7

      Jayden W. Thats a matter of opinion. In my opinion it already looks outdated. But to each their own.

    • @Eldomibori
      @Eldomibori 7 років тому +12

      Dewey AI If you take a look at a 2007 Volkswagen Passat, and take a look at a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. Which one looks more outdated? Clearly the Hyundai. The Volkswagen just has a much more mature styling that was designed to age well. And in my opinion, and in the opinion of very many others. It has..

    • @supernova4300
      @supernova4300 7 років тому +2

      Jayden W. That (2007) Passat isnt a bad looking car, the Sonata is however the better looking of the 2. Which design has aged better? You say the Passat, I say I'm not sure. As it relates to these two though, I still say the VW looks outdated from the outset. You say otherwise, cant fight you for your opinion. But IMO, this current passat is bland ans boring and the design left the gate with a handicap, it looks outdated. Looks like every other vw of the past 6 or so years.
      Oh btw, I'm not in any way a Hyundai fanboy (if such a thing exists)
