2020 VW Passat | Fresh White Bread

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We review the new 2020 VW Passat. This car was subjected to our tests to determine the good and bad. Hopefully, this helps viewers decide on which car to shop for in the future. VW has relaxed its development on this car in America, so this is not a typical Sedan. But, what would you choose? Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata or Mazda6?

This is even blander and older than something like a Camry, while being more unreliable. I just can't think of a reason why *anyone* would buy a new Passat when it is so mediocre in every way. The Golf or Arteon are cool, which I get why people buy them, but this is just... meh.

    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.

Ive owned all sorts of cars, from a 99 grand am gt, to a '00 wrangler sport, '00 s2000, '01 a4, '03 civic ex, 2005 viper mamba edition , '12 rav4 limited, "20 crv ex-L and a '89 944 s. Its slow as balls and i would have never paid 30k for it. But during dieselgate, they were giving away these cars, it was a fantastic value. 65,800 miles and only have had to do was change oil, brakes (once), and tires (once) and windshield wipers.

    Because of import tariffs, they would have to make another set of new tooling for the factory in the US. Also the US car is bigger, cushier and more cheaply made and priced -- in line with the preferences of US buyers. In Europe, VW have Skoda and SEAT brands for the more basic cars.

    I got a European Passat station wagon made in Emden, Germany and I love it. 90% of them are station wagons here. It's got a 7 speed dual clutch transmission, a 2 liter ad blue diesel engine that needs fuel every 1000 miles and it's never let me down whether it is on long family trips or while commuting to work. You can go 120 mph on the Autobahn easily without it starting to feel wobbly, it's planted like a brick. All in all, I agree, it's not an exciting car but it is a safe and reliable daddy-mobile :) keep making awesome videos, stay safe and stay healthy! Much love from Germany!

    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!

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.
