Review
One of the seriously underrated cars in its class. The Passat is a sleek and modern family sedan with a very spacious interior which is on par with a Toyota Camry.

Power, refinement, build quality and fuel efficiency trumps its class rivals of a similar depreciation as well such the Mazda 6 2.0, Camry 2.0 and Accord 2.0.

Overall, a very enjoyable car to own and drive as it looks sleek and performs very well. It will be hard to find a replacement at such a price point when the COE ends.

Parts wise, many workshops carry VAG spares so they are readily available and parts cost has definitely dropped over the years with increased ownership of VAG cars.

Don't let the uninformed fool you into thinking VW is very unreliable. Every car brand even the Japs have their issues and their parts arent that cheap but just that every one is so used to saying VW = unreliable so thats how it's been.

Review
Bought 2.0L R-Line. This is my 5th Volkswagen.
From Jetta 1.4 TSI (170 bhp), to Golf GTI MKV (200 bhp), to Scirocco 2.0 (210 bhp) to Golf 1.4 GT (170 bhp) to Passat 2.0 (220 bhp).

Wonderful car ownership experience thus far. All my cars were with the 6 speed DSG (wet clutch).

What I like
1) Excellent power delivery (220 bhp, 350NM torque, 0-100km/h in 6.7s, top speed 246km/h)
2) Contemporary interior. Nice flushed aircon vents, nice analog clock in the middle and comfortable yet supportive seats.
3) Nice infotainment, with bluetooth, Apple carplay/Andriod auto, navigation, DVD, internal hardisk, SD card, USB reader.
4) 6 speed wet clutch DSG for amazing shifts.
5) Paddle shifts.
6) Electric seats (memory and massage feature for driver)
7) Classy design
8) Nice legroom
9) Huge boot space of 586L
10) 3 zone climate air-con controls. (meaning to say you can set your own temperature for the rear, from either the infotainment or the rear passenger side)
11) 5 car driving modes - Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sports, Individual. I love the individual as I can set my own suspension settings (comfort, normal, sports), steering wheel settings (light, normal, heavy), engine, lights, etc.
12) R-Line body kit and R-Line rims.
13) Decent fuel economy of 10km/L. For economical drive in Eco mode, I have ever achieved 16km/L.

What I do not like
They should have brought in the 4 motion version for the Passat.

Review
A very nice looking sedan with a powerful 2.0L engine and DSG 6 speed wet clutch gearbox.

Was pleasantly surprised that the infotainment interface has been upgraded to a touchscreen when the brochure is still showing the previous traditional system.

Actually test drove the R-Line Variant version as they do not have a 2L sedan for test drive. Pickup and ride comfort was very good and more than sufficient for the average driver like me.

Definitely among the top of my shortlist!!!

What I like
1. Powerful GTI engine
2. Fast and smooth DSG gearbox
3. LED headlights
4. Ventilated seats with memory
5. Virtual cockpit
6. 18" rims (just nice for me in terms of looks and running cost, not too big or too small unlike in some other models)
7. Heads Up Display

What I do not like
1. Lacks the latest active-passive safety features such as ACC, blind-spot detection, autobrake etc
2. Very high profit margin, I estimate it to be around 49k. My biggest gripe actually (would have gotten one if the discounts were similar to those of the 1.8L versions)

Review
This car has been around for afew years new model coming out soon, but don't see much improvement on the new model.

Pretty good looking car out side, inside the dashboard is decent And well laid out. I Like the virtual cp display, pretty much like Audi, but there are some differences.

Double insulation on the front wind screen(that's whatt was told to me), making the car very quiet when driving. Rear seats space is one of the best in class, spacious fro 3 adults. Rear boot is also big. For a family sedan, it ticks all he boxes if you want a big real estates.

1.8 engine is pretty decent for Singapore roads. Power delivery is more than enoug and its pretty quiet.

The 2 liter engine, used in GTI, however delivery's a different drive. Very sporty, reach to launch forward, and when you accelerate heard the engine growl. If you prefer quiet go for the 1.8 engine. If sporty sound than the 2 liter will suit you.

What I like
- spacious room every where
- door auto retract back when entering and exiting
- 2 liter engine is powerful and punchy
- Pretty good quality for a conti car that cost less given the specs and engine performance

What I do not like
- VW reliability, welll know for the dsg gear box problem in the intitial years (same as audi gear box issues) not sure if it has improved
- 1.8 engines should be using the dry gb that has more problem, the 2litre should be using the wet gd due to its power output, which should has lesser problem?
- low resale value

Review
Best badge that you can get under 130k in its class. Great handling and looks. Not style without substance. Huge boot, great acceleration, great ability for tuning. Stage 3 has 350HP. Comfy cruiser but super sporty when you want it to be. So quiet inside almost like EV. More quiet than prius when travelling 100km/h.

What I like
Effortless power delivery
Good amount of features
Great build quality as we would call it "SOLID" XD
Much better than some other d-seg sedans namely MZD 6, Camry and Legacy

What I do not like
Smaller rear legroom compared to superb
Smaller boot
Less performance than superb
Less features than superb

Review
A car every family should look out for and have when it comes to comfort and safety. -Family of six. :) :) :) :) :) :)

Review
Got my first VW Passat 1.8 highline last week. Great car to drive. Fast acceleration. Very spacious interior and nice interior lighting ambience at night. Interior finish is nice with clean design. Sunroof added a spacious feel. Nice infotainment system which includes GPS, Carplay support, Auto Android and Bluetooth for mobile. Massage and memory function available at driver seat. Spacious boot. Back seats fully foldable. Exterior design is simple and clean look. LED head lights with daylights LED. 5 years warranty!
Not sure why there are negative comments about Passat. But price wise, this car provide more values as compared to XE, 318, A4 and C180.

What I like
Nice interior finishes
Nice ambience lighting during night
Sunroof
Massage function at driver seat
Parking Assist sensors to aid parking
Spacious back seats
Spacious boot space
Foldable back seats
Good infotainment system with Carplay and GPS support
Fast and stable car
5 years warranty

What I do not like
Maps update must be done at VW at a cost
VW carnet service not available in Singapore

Review
No value for what you pay!
testing car sound insulation is good. But delivered one is different. May be tires, engine oil, tuning are different.

What I like
ventilating function seats
leather steering wheel

What I do not like
weak GPS system.
Rims are ugly
Park Distance Control sensors are out of order. It may warn you without blocked object, it won't warn you with a block object sometimes. it is better to go with PDC.
vw customer care, then don't try to understand your problem. Just keep you in and out of workshop. Waste your time.

Review
Own this car few months. Engine is good. Nice Space. Have some issues and went back to workshop many times already.

What I like
1. powerful car.
2. fast acceleration
3. features

What I do not like
1. Sunroof Noise, steeling wheel Noise. Workshop can't fix them.
2. Acceleration is quick but not smooth at lower gear. Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!
3. Limited safety features.
4. Dynaudio speaker exists in name only.
5. Discuss with other owners at workshop. Please think thrice before you purchase VW. Even after DSG incident, emissions scandal, Supplier dispute,i don't feel any service improvement.
6. Afraid this review to be deleted can't say more.

Review
Finally it was time for an upgrade to the continental segment after years of being thrifty! A competition between the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes Benz C Class was the popular consideration back then, but i believe a new dark horse is chasing up. The Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI has impressed many with it's performance, built quality, interior spaces and needless to say, it's good looks.

As most of us Car Enthusiast will already know, the Passat is actually on the same platform as the Audi A4. With the similar TSI/TFSI Engine(2015 A4 Model), 7 speed DSG gearbox and the same Chassis platform as well. The interior cabin space has made many heads turn towards the New Passat as it is very much comparable to the A6 instead. Built quality of the interior is surrounded with soft leather and up to Techs with the Highline version. Lastly, if moolahs($$) is the main buying factor, in which will apply to most of us Singaporean. The Passat is having a depreciation of only $14k/annual as compared to A4's $16k/annual. Or you desperately want a Luxury Continental Passat, you can go for Volkswagen's pre-owned department for it's management units like me, who gotten mine at a depreciation of only $11k-13k/annual.

What I like
-Turbocharged 1.8L/2.0L Engine
-Interior Built Quality
-Cabin and Boot Space
-Size of the vehicle
-Value for money

What I do not like
Only ExclusiveLine version have electric tailgate, other than that, all met my expectation.

Review
Test drove this car few months ago and general feeling is a stable car with reasonable nice interior. Sale rep told me the trimming is comparable to Merc E class but after viewing C class I beg to differ.

What I like
1. stable and quiet car.
2. good level of luxury as compare to jap cars
3. fast acceleration
4. good turning radius

What I do not like
1. old school design
2. accelerator pedal is hard. General feedback feel is not responsive and need some efforts to floor it down.
3. Acceleration is fast but not really smooth. Gear drag and change are obvious as if the car is working very hard to hit the speed.
4. Limited safety features and control as compared to other german premium brands in market.
5. Target audience mostly are uncles upgrade from Jap-make-car like Toyota Camry.
6. Steering wheel design look weird.
7. Overall package offers by VW is not competitive as compared to other authorized dealers.

Review
Went to test drive it. Been thinking of changing my Golf to something with a boot. Gave my SE a call and he recommended the Passat 2.0. Test drive it along Jervois road. The feeling was how can such a big car handle as good as the golf.

What I like
- Superb handling
- easy parking
- super comfy
- great looks
- value for $$ if you wanna get an audi but cant afford it

What I do not like
- poor resale value

Review
The VW Passat is beautifully designed and is a comfort to drive. Powerful and gear changes very fast / seamlessly, possibly because this is on a wet clutch as compared against its other cousin. Hence it gave me comfort to know it is more reliable.

Interior is comfortable and nicely done up. Lots of features and for that price, I think it is worth it.

Car is also roomy and bootspace is sufficient for me to put in baggages and children's pram.

What I like
Luxury feel
Nice interior
Roomy bootspace
Lots of features
Wet clutch

What I do not like
Long wait at service centre

Review
Tested and Booked Passat Highline.

Passat is generally compared to the likes of Mazda 6, Camry and Accord, however with the current version, the Passat has definitely up-classed to Merc Bmw level.

The interior is spacious, especially with the panoramic sunroof opened, with good visibility all around.

The dash is logically laid out, buttons, console and materials used feel and look premium.

Cabin insulation is very close to C class, or even better. There is very very little tyre and wind noise.

Boot Space has a big opening, with folding rear seats for added practicality.

Leather seats are very comfortable and the massage + memory function is a welcome addition. Footwell space is roomy with a dead pedal to put your left foot.

DSG7 issue has been rectified by VW and performs flawlessly. Gear changes are smooth and there is ample power throughout the rev range. Steering is light and have sufficient feedback and with the feel of a much smaller car.

What I like
Cabin Insulation
Interior
Space
Materials
Handsome sheet metal

What I do not like
The gas pedal is top-down instead of bottom-up.

Active Info Display not offered as standard.

Ventilated seats should be standard considering hot climate.

Review
One of the best-looking Volkswagen in town. The new Passat comes with an updated corporate profile with LED lights front and back.
Slightly longer and wider than its predecessor, the car has a stronger road presence and at the same time provides more interior spaces for the comfort of the passengers.
The updated 1.8l engine with 7-speed DSG gearbox provides a smooth and comfortable ride. When extra power is needed, the turbocharger will ensure sufficient torque and power is supplied.
The new Passat is definitely one of the best-buy executive sedan in the market.

What I like
Exterior styling.
LED headlamps and taillights.
Spacious interior.
Powerful and Torquey engine

What I do not like
Nothing much actually.
