Moved from Jetta to Passat to have a larger car - checked out a number of alternatives - Accord, Camry, A4, Fusion, S60 - decided that for the negotiated price this worked well. Limited edition - only made in 2018. Sticker about $32K - sale price about $24.5K. Cons - Small infotainment screen - gauge cluster screen black and white with lower quality graphics. Gas mileage equals the sticker - averaging about 31 mpg highway and about 23 city - though uses REGULAR fuel!). A/C is adequate in the South but not an overpowering system (fan speed wise). Nice heated seats. Pros - comfortable - roomy - leatherette easy to clean. Finishes are nice (VW gets dinged for low budget finishes, but this car is finished comparably to others listed above except Audi and Volvo. Very bright LED headlights - good brakes - firmer handling than regular Passat. Strong acceleration from normally aspirated 3.6l engine. Heated seats work well - defroster(s) work quickly. Be careful in Sport mode - really needs all wheel drive with so much power going to front wheels. Hold the wheel tight and moderate your gas pedal - either from standing start or when overtaking. Huge trunk - lots of room to put everything. Nice center storage bin. Have put 30,000+ miles on car in two years with no issues at all so very confident in car going forward. Appreciate 6 year / 72K mile warranty. Would buy this car again but I actually think this one is a keeper long term!

Tested Camry SE, Accord GT, and Passat GT. Camry and Accord had way too many "distractions" in interior. If you like basic interior for what you need to "drive" and don't like excessive lights and buttons you'll LOVE this Passat GT. The V6 may be last one they ever make. The throaty exhaust gives you the feel of "sport" while the handling and ride quality are great. LOTS of room in back seat. I am 6'2" 260 and can sit very comfortably. Trunk is huge as well. If you can find a used one near you I highly recommend you test driving one before you buy a Camry or Accord. Also the 2018 model gets great warranty.

This car is extremely reliable and spacious with added luxury detailing that the passat’s are known for with the added sporty GT trim and the speedy V6 engine this car has the best of both worlds

Passat GT Excellent Value and Overall Capable

Excellent larger than mid-size, lots of room and nicely equipped. 2018 Passat GT has classic design, smooth lines, and powerful V6 engine that growls. Solid power-punch and go. Sunroof, 19in wheels, and upgraded design cues make it sporty. Since 2018 was the only year, the style stands out now years later. The model year also comes with a factory 6yr/72k mile bumper to bumper warranty. No significant maintenance issues this far but the warranty is there if needed. With a used price of just $23k in 2019 w/10k miles, it is easily the best value of anything on the road today.

I am a car freak. Love my 2018 Passat GT V-6. Looks, Engine, Torque, Transmission, Power Curve, Interior, Dash, Brakes, etc. Easy to like because I don't like today's pin ball machines dash design or the modern angular/insect design today's autos Frankly, I love the interior. The only thing I don't like about the car is the suspension. Frankly, it doesn't have one. I like it so much, I put up with the budget basement suspension. I also immediately replaced the Continental tires, worthless in the winter, and replaced them with all season performance tires from General Tire. Remarkable improvement. Traction is not about AWD, but rather tire choice.
