I just inherited this car the version I have has the lane assist on it. I’m super excited and it only has 7000 miles on it, but miss my dad :(

I just bought one of these and your review even told me things the dealer didn't. Nice job!

Thanks for this video @Torue Junkies! Helped me learn some fun, cool, and insightful facts. Looking forward to experiencing this car! Also made me feel more confident about making the purchase in these inflation times.

Great energy and info!

Thank you, I was looking at a used one, now I want one

Excellent job man, love the video

Great video I just bought one and I didn’t know all the cool features until now

I bought the 2017 Passat SE in Gray with the lighting package because of this video. It was a left over new car that a local dealership had that was deeply discounted ($22K instead of $29K) Great car...wish it was a bit smaller without becoming a Jetta though.

This was a terrific review of a fantastic vehicle. I Purchased the '17 R line in Grey Metallic with black interior back in Nov of '16 while stationed in Germany and put 17k miles on it in 8 months.. I know thats a lot but the point is this car is built to enjoy while driving, and you can't beat the fuel economy! I have now had it for 15 months and still enjoy it as much as the day I picked her up at the port. I will purchase another VW in the future!

Awesome review!

Just subbed! Great video man!

Austin Correia welcome!

I’ve had the Passat for bout a year and I love it. Didn’t get the r line or the the lighting package because it just didn’t seem that useful to me and it was cheaper without it. But I do like the rims of the r line and the lighting package. The Passat is a great car and you get ALOT for the money unlike other cars who charge extra for everything.

So even though i can put regular gas can i alternate to premium now and again to clean out carbon build up?

Great review and jokes were good 😂

Speaking of your 7th point, can you do a video on the VW Touareg and/or the new e-Golf? Both vehicles feature more advanced features and functionality than on most of the other vehicles in the VW line-up. Thank you.

I brought a 2016 r-line in November 2016 and I paid $16,987at king vw in Gaithersburg md since they were trying to get rid of the 2016 models. Love this car so much.

Yes, I got a 2017 Jetta back in Nov and I love it, but I got my eye on a GLI or GTI definitely my next VW!

Do they have timing chain issues do they have oil pressure problems

Christian Norton · I have bought a used 2017 VW Passat S with 59,760 miles. I have pumped 98 octane ever since i started the monthly payments in Nov of 2020. In my opinion. Yes the 98 octane gas lasts longer in the tank. So it will allow you to make more miles to the gallon in the long run. Also. Always try to have 3/4 of a tank full. The car performs great. You can tell the difference. I could !! Remember one thing. if you started out using 89 octane and suddenly you start using 98. It will probably take about 3 fill ups till you feel the difference. It's got to clear the 89 octane from the fuel lines. Good luck. Keep a watchful eye on the engine timing chain. Have it checked.They are supposed to be checked and or changed around 50,000 - 59,000. It will Depends on the wear of all the hard plastic parts supporting and guiding the timing chain.

Great review! I'm gonna pick one of these up, also was this filmed at Schumacher VW North Palm Beach?? Lol

What's going to be new on the 2018 passat?

Want to help the engine even more? Purchase AEM's 3" turbo inlet pipe and air filter. More airflow = better performance.

Would I get better gas mileage if I used premium gas?

Whats the PSi for the Turbo?

My Passat R line has the Golf R engine and 4x4, 280hp (206kw in my country) strange you don't get that in the US, or do you?

especially the manual transmission. My Golf TDI was a 6-sp manual. Really love the transmission and it was less expensive to maintain than the dual clutch (dual clutch required maintenance.. at like 40 or 50k miles is exxxxpensive)

I really wish they will finally update those terrible flat seats and bring back the rear vents on lower trims... if you have a baby in the back, the weak VW A/C or heat takes forever to heat up the huge rear. Come on VW, get it together, you're losing lifetime VW buyers. You guys should really start telling people that the car runs better and more powerful with Premium gas. Why would you buy a Turbo engine and then use lower octane gasoline to lower its power and torque? If you take this car to Europe, you won't find gasoline under 95 octane. All turbo engines love a quick spark, I have and never will use 87 gas in any of my cars.

All the reasons why I bought this car 🤙

I have one. Great car with great space. If only it had keyless entry and Push Button Start.

is there a reason why the r line does not come with keyless entry and push to start? this would be perfect for me, if it had those extras.

Lol, the North American Passat is less premium than the Euro version, (which we get as the Arteon) and while it may have a few inconsequential bits shared with some lower end Audi models...there is zero Porsche, and certainly no Bugatti or Lambo🙈😂😂 I mean dont get me wrong, it's a nice car and good value (or was when it was still sold) but even at the time didnt compare very well with the Honda Accord, Mazda 6 or even the Camry in some ways. I would choose it over something like the Chevy Malibu or fugly Subaru Legacy, but thats about it.

I drive a 2011 Lexus GS 350 all wheel drive my car takes premium gas only most of the things that this car seems to have with the cameras and lights and stuff I pretty much have the Lexus comes with a lot of stuff but trust me you pay a lot of money for this stuff not to mention when something breaks it could be very costly for the Lexus I intend on buying a Volkswagen I have my eyes set on these 2017 sport models but have the opportunity to see the 2018 I'm holding out to the 2018 models come out the 2018 looks a lot nicer

bullshit video. I own one and it's not worth 25k. My insurance is $220 per month for full coverage, water pump failed at 35k, Bluetooth system is garbage, interior is full of cheap plastic. However it gives great gas mileage and sound system is great.

American passat's is lame. The Europe spec is in another league! A specially the interior. Maybe because it is a cheap car in America?

It’s made in America but vw is German it’s a German production car
