I live in saudi arabia and have this car. Quite possibly the best car I’ve ever experienced throughout my life and it doesn’t break. It just passed 340,000 km and now it’s in the shops and i quite miss it. Truly a masterpiece.
That engine sound is one of the best. Love 5 cylinders. You always do a great video man, the kind I like to watch....just the car driving...the engine note, shifting, etc. Nice work 🙌🏼
@@Desynccc I’m just guessing, but I’m pretty sure I drive a faster and better car than you, make more money than you, and live in a nicer place than you. I’m gonna guess, you drive a Hyundai? Want to meet up and get absolutely gapped?
@@koruptedwolf6579 Love it. It does have its stupid small hiccups every now and then, yet again that’s how it goes with VWs. Other than that, I’ve been extremely happy with the car. Almost 80,000 miles. It’s been driven a lot and has done the job without too much complaint. VW did a great job with that car. I didn’t care too much about it until I test drove the 1.8T. Fell madly in love with it.
Also, I don’t recommend putting aftermarket wheels unless you wanna deal with getting them balanced correctly. It’ll be a long journey. Stick to factory wheels if you can.
I got T-boned in my 2012 Mazda 3 a few days ago, and I’m fairly certain it’s totaled. I think I’m going to try and pick one of these up as a replacement. This is an incredible car for 2013, and for its current price.
For anybody who thinks the 3rd gear is weird, the torque converter locks up when warmed up and shifts into 3rd. That explains the pause and exaggerated rpm difference.
I couldn't afford the SE model, so I have the S model with the Appearance package and it having the same 2.5L V5 engine, it definitely has a very responsive but comfortable quiet ride. I'm still very impressed with it after all these years. :) I read somewhere that VW owned Lamborghini during this time and decided to take the V10 out of the Gallardo and use 5 cyclinders in the Jetta and 5 cylinders in the Passat which explains the excellent performance response from this 5 cylinder engine.
If you want to review my 2006 Jetta 2.5 just ask. Has the same engine and transmission but is lighter in weight. Also its a special OEM color that I personally never seen on any other Jetta.
I have this car, amazing vehicle I always get compliments on it, but be warned things break fairly simply on it as a lot of the interior components are plastic
I have lots of respect for their design studio, in and out VWs are instantly recognizable, always evolution never revolution, always pleasure to drive but even though tempted i am not buying anything VW, money and time vampires, only fanboys, fashionistas and people who do dont have to get places on time can deal with them
As much as I want to disagree with your statement about not buying them you’re not entirely wrong. I don’t fully agree with the whole “only VW fanboys buy them,” but usually yeah going to get one is a hassle. Is it like every VW dealerships mission to make it as hard as possible to buy one? lol
You should do a POV test drive on a 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD mid-size SUV with the 3.5 L V6 engine, 276 horsepower and the six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability next. They are excellent vehicles in the used Korean market right now.
They're still on the road, they've just been reprogrammed to emit less pollution. I own one as a daily driver and I wouldn't trade it in for nothing! I only wish VW still sold diesels in America.
@@Jordanball-ib3iw with a username like that, I highly doubt you've driven any kind of Taycan. If you have, your attitude is so pathetically immature, you certainly didn't deserve to and are a stain to the brand.
@@bradleyscarreviews haha if the kid lives to try to impress strangers on the internet now and nobody calls him out for it, he'll be doing the same crap at 25 but will be drowning in credit card debt to keep up with the illusion. Better to teach the lesson now than later!
when driving and automatic car, you dont use left foot never ! For break and gas we have to use only right foot same as manual cars. The driver on this video uses left foot every time, this is not right. Some new drivers are watching this guy's feet for learning maybe.

Thanks for driving a Passat! Finally! I have a 2015 with the 1.8T.
how do you like it?

My 2012 Sonic was T-boned yesterday. It looks totaled to me. I'm looking at this as my next car as well.
Yes you should buy it I have it and its Awesome!
Best video ever, I will be getting my 2013 passat at the end of the week!!!🙂
I have one and love it!
6 weeks later I fell in love with it. I was always a jetta lover. Passat is more room, drives and handles well.
how many miles did you buy it with ?
For anybody who thinks the 3rd gear is weird, the torque converter locks up when warmed up and shifts into 3rd. That explains the pause and exaggerated rpm difference.
Yup my moms 2011 Tiguan did the same thing. You can’t feel it , you can just hear it.
Just like mine!!! 5 cylinder sounds gives me chills
Love this car
until the door rattles kick in, and then you are in for one hell of a ride my friend my very good friend
I had a 2003 Passat for 250,000 miles and never experienced that

Aye some more smooth driving lets gooooo👏👏🙏
It’s very nice. I noticed that it has the same rims as the new Jetta. It’s not a VW without the service light on lol.
They didn’t have those wheel covers available at the time. They just put them on.
Good eye! Those are its winter wheels!
@@DailyMotor Oh hi Charlie!
@@corey4042 Thanks, I didn’t know that.
Exactly 🤣🤣
I got one recently. Is a good commuter car, quiet and comfortable. Good on gas too.
It's a pretty nice one. Has a quality feel
I was wowed when I saw this open field in my state full of these VW TDI's just sitting there.
It’s sad they all went to waste. I thought VW had a good product and then Dieselgate happened.
Tcyeuouoioieioioo
Vlt
If you want to review my 2006 Jetta 2.5 just ask. Has the same engine and transmission but is lighter in weight. Also its a special OEM color that I personally never seen on any other Jetta.
Actually the mk5 and B7 Passat weight the same. However the Mk6 is lighter.

True
And what do you want them to be? Metal?
love how it kinda sounds like the 4A-GE

Statement based on what?
love your videos
Is the transmission whine normal? i test drove a vr6 passat (DSG) and it had some transmission whine just like this 2.5 tiptronic one.........
What an awesome car but the European Passat looks better tho
And it’s a totally different car and platform.
Alissa’s Passat looks nice.
My mom is going to buy this 2013 Volkswagen Passat
love your videos man can you do a 2017-18 jetta gli? would love for you to try one of those!
It's wild how little these are worth on the used market.
Even if you go to a dealership it’s not much over 11k
Not any more.
I was wondering which motor, and it’s the base old school 5 cylinder.
My 2014 SE w/roof Passat 1.8 EA888 bought new, has 163,537 miles is the most bullet proof car I've owned in my 66 years. Just sayin...
They could’ve made that 5 cylinder much more powerful smh
It's not a race car Dwayne 😂😂
If you can't buy a McLaren it's not VW¡'s fault Darryl xD
I love
Looks nice I’m thinking of buying sometime this year
Do a POV drive on the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder
hey! ive been wanting to get the MPH that im going on the dashboard screen like yours how do I do it?

Is my car is a 2019 VW Passat
In my country homes are cheaper than this car. Fukin insane prices. This car is known the best car in my country
I got basically the same exact car
Is this the tungsten silver metallic
Have you faced any issues so far? I am planning to buy this model.
@@omarfaruqe8276 No issues at all it’s a great car
Does anyone know if the TDIs of 2013-2017 have been taken off the road or just reprogrammed from the emissions scandal?
They're still on the road, they've just been reprogrammed to emit less pollution. I own one as a daily driver and I wouldn't trade it in for nothing! I only wish VW still sold diesels in America.
Dieselgate happened in 2015 I remember
I own a2013 2.5 I love that 5 cylinder 57K miles
I am looking to buy one but never had a Volkswagens is it reliable?
@@jafetpadilla5600 absolutely…not
I own a 2013 vw, @ 69k miles the wiper motor went out, the horn went out, and one of my heated seats went out.
You should try the diesel version! It's a far better driving experience!
I rather the 5 cylinder sound.
The VR6 model is the best!
Should've used the SEL Premium package with the VR6 engine
Tại sao bạn không để nó phun xăng xong rồi mới đề máy nhỉ?
RIP VW 5 cylinders
rip basically every 5 cylinder :(
@@lordmeme_ well, the RS3 and TTRS are the only ones left
@@ExotiKZBoy17 that ain’t much lmao
@@lordmeme_ I know ☹
We still have 5 cyl Passat in the Middle East
In Brazil this is the car of a person with high purchasing power
rsrsrs
Exactly very expensive 😑
Why is buddy left foot braking tho
Nince car
How much price of this car?
Not a true VW without some warning light on the dash (even if its just the TPMS!) Hehehe.....
Probably due to the snow tires hahaha. My Jetta has 104k and still no CEL (maybe it's burnt out? :P)
DSG or Aisin Tiptronic? Very nice car oh my god 🤩🤩
Aisin 6 spd tiptronic!
@@lukeheffernan good good, thanks dude
So it’s basically a stretched B6?
Actually no. They are different platforms.
Is the 6 speed DSG ?
No, there is Aisin 09G.
