What customers are saying

The 2016 Volkswagen Passat is praised for fuel efficiency (25–36 MPG), spacious cargo and passenger areas, and smooth ride quality. Its turbocharged engine delivers strong power. Concerns include higher synthetic oil maintenance costs and reliability issues like dash malfunctions and oil consumption. Cabin noise reviews are mixed, but overall value is competitive.

Possibly not worth the price

PROS
Fuel Economy

It gets good gas mileage.

CONS
Reliability

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle the oil light came on and when checked the oil was very low but there is no leak. We have yet to figure out the actual problem. And it needs oil put in every other week.
