I am so impressed by the hard work, care and enthusiasm that went into making these videos. You really take auto sales to the next level. I have been doing a lot of research and plan on getting a new car sometime in the next few months. If at all possible, I plan on making a trip to your dealership to buy the new Passat TDI. Thank you for making these videos.

wow.. Rosenthal has come along way from being the local dealer up the street where I used to live in Virginia. This is almost TV production worthy quality video and reviewing. Good job guys.

@thizzle7xu I got a 2k11 328i and when originally shopping for a 3, I asked if they had a new 2010 3 and was told they went out of production during the spring so all the new ones were 2k11s. It makes sense for them to stop production so people don't feel screwed for paying more than they should for older technology which the current 3s are. The next design is supposed to look more like a 5 according to the web.

@antidescent :) that's great! I agree with you; I think D is fine as it is. The DSG *DOES* take some getting used to though. I like it, but would almost prefer a manual. Reversing uphill is an experiencing. It's like a combination of rubber band feel and chatter from a clutch engaging.

Really like the look of this Passat. Here in the UK we also have a new Passat, but it’s just a facelift of the previous model. It’s an improvement, but the US car has better proportions, and looks sharper. And possibly most importantly about the US car, is that it has a proper handbrake, we are still stuck with the stupid electronic one :( lol Fantastic review as always!! :)

Anyone know the long term maintenance cost for one these? I hear that it's expensive to repair and you have to top off the diesel fluid for every 10,000 miles. My friend who has an older diesel Passat (mid 2000's), has just spent thousands in repairs due to bad transmission.

Does an automatic transmission mean that you cannot shift the gears by yourself? My dad is thinking about getting this car but he doesn't like automatic transmissions and he doesn't want to regret buying it because we have to pay a ridiculous 200% on the price of the car due to the import tax. Can you recommend me some other alternatives, please?
