What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2018 Volkswagen Passat express strong satisfaction with the vehicle, particularly appreciating its roomy interior, comfortable seating, and impressive trunk space. Many feel it offers great value for money and highlights its peppy acceleration and smooth ride.

Very comfortable! Good price! Beautiful car! Cheaper maintenance! Very elegant!
April 16, 2025I have always loved Volkswagen but this car went above all my expectations. There is nothing Im not in love with. Its the best car I have ever owned.
March 30, 2022I have the SE Trim level. Roomy sedan that fits two adults up front and two kids plus a car seat in the back. On top of that it has the pep and acceleration of a sports car. Smooth ride yet fun to drive. The perfect all around combination.

May 31, 2020You get a lot of bang for your buck with the VR6 in this surprisingly roomy sedan. The rear seat and trunk room is impressive. Pros - VR6 is powerful and pulls strong in any gear at any speed. It also has a wonderful throaty exhaust note. Put a Borla exhaust on this and you gain about 30 bhp and wow does it sound mean! - LED headlights are wonderful for night time visibility. - Tons of trunk space for a mid-sized sedan. - Handles well through turns with only minimum body roll. - Lots of standard safety features - AEB, Rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitor, etc. Cons - Soft steering - Skinny tires, need more rubber on the road to use all that horsepower without chirping or spinning when the lead foot is unleashed. -
May 26, 2024We are very happy with the 2018 Passat. It is roomy inside and has a huge truck. The back seats drop for more storage too. It has a great backup camera and apple car play . Unfortunately it does not have a home link system to link garage doors or a seat memory button. The driver’s side has a power seat but no memory button. There is great pick up and it rides nicely. Definitely a good value car.
June 4, 2021excellent features. car is a good value. wish they still had manual trans. nicer-looking than most comparable mid-size sedans and lots of room inside
November 10, 2021R Line is a good value. 2900 mile trip and averaged 34 mpg. Features are okay. USB for CarPlay is in a bad place because it is in the bottom of a tray pointing up and catches all the small particles that fall into the tray. Would prefer a more cushioned ride instead of the 40 series tires but overall I like the car. Power is adequate.
