6:05 - I'm 90% sure this behavior is due to a torque converter decouple mode, which is used for fuel economy. It saves the engine from the added drag of spinning the torque converter unnecessarily when at a stop. Alfa Giulias have the same thing in their ZF transmissions. You feel the RPMs rise slightly when you come to a complete stop, and then a slight delay to get going when you take your foot of the brake.

AdriannnTRD AdriannnTRD I see what you’re trying to say, but that’s not quite right and really, it just seeks to excuse VW’s laziness and penny-pinching for the US market. The EU Passat was given a mild facelift too for 2020 and its’ levels of refinement and quietness are regularly compared favourably with the luxury marques. It is certainly lighter, but FAR more rigid torsionally and for bending than the US Passat platform, which as the reviewer says, was designed over 10 years ago. MQB May be boring, but it’s probably the best-engineered global-architecture around, save maybe for Toyota’s new TNG.

Within the past 10 years I’ve owned a brand new Mazda 6, which felt a little like a modern bmw dare I say, a brand new Camry, Subaru Legacy and a Honda Accord not to mention my other vehicles being a jaguar xe and an Alfa Romeo guilia. With that being said I also currently own a 2019 Passat that I picked up recently and picked this car to buy over the other competition because I have also owned a 2010 Passat which I loved. Which I why I decided to get another one. The Passat is a wonderfully designed car that has a feel of refinement that you just can’t get with the competition. This car definitely still hold it’s own with nothing to prove with a dying sedan segment. Yeah, it’s on the bland side which I absolutely love and means it will age gracefully. It drives magnificently with zero drama and everything is well thought out in the vehicle and very buttoned down. Wonderful review gooser.. and a wonderful classy car.

I was going to say that since this is a seven year old platform, it's more like stale white bread, but then you beat me to it! One advantage to this that is apparent from looking at the underpinnings, is that you could probably rebuild the entire suspension for about a grand, if you did the work yourself. There's something to be said for that, and it's very VW-like. Looking at some of the newer multilink suspensions makes me shudder at the thought of replacing all those arms and ball joints. Thanks for doing what you do. Nobody else is showing us the underside of new cars, and I, for one, appreciate it!

They stopped producing the 2.4 4x4 stick shift in 2017. Rip! 😥

Everything works..........for now.

This review feels like the partner to RCR's reviews. RCR describes the car and its potential owner, and you act out the car and its potential owner.

This is a great everyday driver that gives you confidence and ease to go through your day and do what you need with a feeling that it is not going to attract any unwanted attention and less prone to break on you like more gadget filled cars.

0:07 - 0:17 If you know savagegeese, you already know this car is a bore and Mark doesn't care for it. 😂

Passat without TDI engine is not real Passat.

I have driven these vehicles and I own a 2010 Passat, which is the last year of the B6 model. This guy described my experience with this car perfectly. The B6 is far more engaging while still providing plenty of comfort.

That intro 👌

This is that generic car you see walking around in a call of duty map. I’ll tell you what this vehicle is- purely a point A to point B car. That is it. It is a reinforced tuna can on wheels. Neutral. Beige. Neither good, nor bad. A vehicle. It could be argued bad, could be argued good.

that's basically 90% of all cars

Pity the fools who think that VW is a 'premium brand'.

This would have been a GREAT angle for this review. The Passat - when you want to pretend you have an A6.

Fiat practically owned Ferrari once, but that never made a Punto like a Modena.

Sometimes the VW buyer tries to convince himself he has a cut price Audi.

already liked just for intro))

A red VW Passat B3 CL Variant was our first family car after the reunification of Eastern Germany with the West. That car was a leapfrog forward from the Trabant and Lada we had before and as a kid I loved it. So Passat will never seem boring to me.

I’m an audiophile, Can you do some hi end home audio reviews.

Maybe on Wednesdays.

I really like this car but I'm as conservative as they come when it comes to cars. This would have been my choice but my wife really wanted AWD so we got a 2020 Subaru Legacy.

Better choice IMO. Especially with the recent Subaru interior improvements.

This was a good pre-nap watch. Put me right to sleep :p - all the ads get to run as I’m dozing off too

You convinced me, I want one now.....

I would love to say something about the Passat, but my yaaaawning somehow doesn´t stop. Yaaaawn.

We are living in the age that Jetta and Passat are more boring than Camry and Corolla... Hyunda/KIA is the new VW.

I have been watching your reviews for a few years, I have driven the competitors for this vehicle and when you're looking at a practical buying experience, the Camry has a stiff suspension and plastic looking interior, the accord is more expensive to insure than an Audi. I recently when on a road trip with this car and it was really impressive how it simply DIDNT detract from the long scenic driving experience, where other cars would with some kind of flaw whether it be road noise, suspension stiffness, gas consumption etc.

I always love the camera work and the fine choice of music in this channel. As for the car, well, I'll say this: Foreign car companies make the same mistakes. When they design for the local market, they go native and end up with a product that looks and feels like a domestic product. They forget that the locals love their products in the first place because of their distinctive, foreign design. My advice is for the Japanese and German companies to shutdown their design studios in North America and sell us the same products they sell in their home countries. Obviously, the market for Japanese Kei cars may be limited here. But, I for one, would prefer a European Passat than one numbed down for NA.

Yeah it looks extremely similar to the 2016-2019 passat. Only major difference in the interior I can see is the air vents. The rear end looks a bit better but the front end looks worse imo

It’s the Canadian of automobiles.

I have a MK7 Golf SE and it’s a lot of fun for the price. Still has the 1.8L TSI. I think the Fender is great.
