For those watching the video recently because they wanna buy a used one, get the 2.5L 5 cylinder engine, it may not be powerful or fast but it will never break down, it is as reliable as a Toyota.

Holy cow I love this car. I purchased a used 2012 Passat S in 2014, with only 44,000 mi. on it. It was a rental car. I've been driving it ever since. It's a road-warrior, and I love it! All i've done is keep up with the maintenance on it.I've not had any problems with it mechanically. It is currently at 196,000. One thing though: last month the back passenger tie-rod snapped on me on a freeway on-ramp. The original tie-rod is soo thin, it's not a wonder that it eventually snapped. The replacement part was redesigned apparently because when I ordered it, it looked a lot stronger, made from a thicker-gauge. Anyway, that's my only caution. It's not even that expensive to change them out. I plan to switch out the other side to be safe. I would also caution that parts and service tend to cost a pretty penny, but I've been able to shop around and find OE parts for it that are a little more reasonably-priced than dealerships. OMG VW dealership service depts. are merciless with their quotes and prices. I learned to do some things myself, and it's relatively easy. Anyway, I love it, and will continue to take care of it and drive it.

I just bought one today Edit: For anyone considering a Passat The 2012 Passat was my first vehicle. Purchased at 93k currently at 140k miles So far in maintenance -battery 120$ -oil change every 5k miles 120$ - 4 new tires 520$ - exhaust leak patch weld 280$ -I had a issue with the knock sensor when driving in the rain/ a few days after it rained, the car would go into limp mode This issue eventually went away after a battery replacement (coincidence or not idk) -Edit 2 2 weeks after (Edit 1) The car jumped timing, I got the timing chain & tensioners replaced (1600$) and the car was driving better but at high RPMS the EPC light would flash indicating bent rods from the timing jumping. Just replaced the whole engine with a junk yard motor 88k miles (2000$) car runs good for now.
