Accord in manual 🙌🏻

Accord manual...

Accord

Passat GT

Camry XSE V6 for reliability. Passat GT if you want something not everyone else has and don't care about high repair costs and mediocre reliability, Accord Sport manual for a blend of the two.

Carlos Saldana The Passat will definitely age the best. It’s a handsome car for sure.

It looks very good

Yuri Tereshyn ‘Sleeper classic Sleeper” sums it up well. If only it had a bigger power option. Agree it’s the best looking, _and_ best interior.

Oh but it does turn heads ;)

I'm just reading this now sorry but you have to feather the start .tires need to be stickier .fun car though I have had it Bout 3 years and still have fun with it.

It’s a fun car ngl and it does be moving, I have one rn

That VR6 is a tune away from 300hp+ *and* is equipped with a DSG. This was imo one of the most malinformed, ignorant reviews you just come to expect from the "car community" on KZfaq. It has no issues putting the power down. Imo, the only area of the car that needs work is the rear suspension and smaller wheels. 17's are better suited on this puppy than the factory 19's.

​@@LynxStarAuto very true, I heard all you really need is the H&R rear sway that fixes everything on these.... VR6 Passat is almost the perfect family sedan for an enthusiast.

jaded, put anyone in this car for the first time and it will surprise them, for sure

Pretty much

LMAO

Boys... I like... I comment... I subscribe.

You're the man

Exactly they definitely don't understand that

Agreed

Grand Tourismo

They completely missed how the VR6 is special. A 15 degree V6 with one cylinder head!

Yeah sounds great from the outside. Too bad you can't hear more of it inside. It's definitely cavernous in the back

If you have a baby like me. It's super easy to get the car seat in and out. Plus I'm tall. Hence I got a 17 Passat SE with tech package and modded it.

harrismi7 dude how are you surprised that the Vr6 sounds good those are known to sound amazing especially with an aftermarket exhaust

LB Car Images Sorry, but I’m not a VW fan boy. VW doesn’t even put the VR6 in their performance cars anymore. Most VWs on the road where I live seem to be Jettas and Beetles. I doubt anyone is putting an exhaust on their VR6 powered Atlas.

harrismi7 my dealer I work at installed a catback, larger tires, and intake on a customer's car before he even took delivery of it. Pretty sweet looking on 33" tires.

lol same. and btw I agree 100% with your review on this car

The VR6 has always been a legendary aggressive sounding engine. Dates back to the very early 90s in the Corrado SLC. I had a 12v 2.8L version in an old '01 GTI. The later 24v 2.8L and 3.2L versions sounded the ABSOLUTE best.

ssr1680 the minute we can

YES!!!!

Yessss

@@YuriTereshyn please get the 280 hp R-Line one

Yuri Tereshyn Time to review it

I am sorry. If you call this car good looking, it makes me think that your wardrobe consists only of a black t shirt, jeans, and running shoes. No one is going to complain about the way you look, but god damn if it ain't boring.

motomusiq I just bought the Passat GT two weeks ago and have received multiple spontaneous compliments about its appearance.

Mopar fanatic Yo great seeing you! Did you get in trouble for that picture?

TheStraightPipes no not at all thanks for asking tho😂 I left that place 2 weeks ago I couldn't handle working in the heat I'm off somewhere else

Mopar fanatic hope you’re doing well!!

Pezz Pezzer ridiculous! Thanks

Not in the Passats unfortunately.

Oh yeah, I see it: They call it "ESC" as it effects both the stability control and the traction control both. Pretty sure a disable for those are mandatory because they can get you stuck in mud or snow if you can turn them off sometimes.

pretty sure that menu is the exact same on both, I will check at my dealer next time I go but I am pretty sure I saw it in the same location Spikeafrica

Pezz Pezzer unfortunately, I had both a 13 TDI and now a 17 1.8TSI, there is no button or menu to disable it in the Passat. Trust me, I wish it wasn't true.

I wish my insurance company felt the same way

We won't do it every time because it doesn't always make sense. This one was easy because the model/options was almost identical. In most cases, they are very different and giving a USD price would be inaccurate.

Sounds good to me, thanks guys!

TheStraightPipes , I was going to say the same. I often have no idea what the price would be In USD, especially for the more expensive vehicles. I then usually get distracted by clicking on another video, forgetting to convert CAD to USD. Im not the kind of American who thinks the English language is 'Murican and I dont think it's being an entitled American wanting the USD price when USD value is (mostly) known worldwide. I think Only listing the CAD is probably only beneficial to a small percentage of your global audience. Regardless I love the channel and can only assume your audience will continue to grow. PS I would love to see you guys to a Versus episode on a bunch of different older roadsters like the BMW Z3, Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, Porsche Boxster, Audi TT and Toyota MR2s. Maybe throw In a Saturn Sky too! It could be a series, and would probably get a lot of views since a lot of people look for an old roadster/sports car to autox/track with. Just make sure you include a Z3. They dont get much KZfaq love.

I wouldn't give 2 shits about the flack because the only ppl who would complain about this are the liberals or social justice warriors. Funny how we Americans are considered privileged for asking about $$$ conversion but they say nothing about this video being in English instead of French.

Mike Blando we've done lots of drone stuff but it takes a lot of time so we can't always do it

The best part of your videos is the transition from your faces to nice moving exterior shots. Its great to have the mixture instead of just your mugs all video :D

Yes!! Thank you - Jakub

OspreyBravo18 exactly. VW uses GT in the exact way it's supposed to. GT cars aren't a sports car, they're a grand tourer and do exactly that. Grand tourers usually prioritize comfort and handling and traveling in style. Instead of comparing this to the GTI this should've been judged on it's ability to be a grand tourer instead of being a sports car.

What does "hitting the bell" do?

try it

Thank you, I tried very hard

Julien Savage Backseat too small compared to the Passat

It all comes to money. If the US offered the Euro Passat they'd have to charge at least $30k US for a base model and $40k for this which puts them out of the market range. Keep in mind Accord/Camry start in the low 20's here. We had the generation before this one the same as Europe really great car but they started in the high 20's 10 years ago which is like the mid 30's today. The Arteon is pretty much a fancy Euro Passat and they are bringing that over since they can get people to spend more for it since it looks different.

Jake Kennedy could be.. the Arteon is basically the same in the US and Europe

the euro 2.0 tsi is probably quicker than this low power version of the vr6

I’ll rather have the us version with vr6 engine then the europe models with 1.4 TSI engines.

tubejorrit well you can get it with a 2.0 TSI with 280hp... no need for the 1.4

Yea He just got a manicure.

You have very low standards

Seth S yes that was really touching!

Lots of face zooms in other videos 😉

Artur Niemczyk my 2015 Wolfsburg TSi has the analog clock as well and I love it. I would own this car over any of its competitors as well, the only other I would consider is the Mazda 6.

I miss the analog clock too

Oh well. Here we are. More than 1 year later, and I would be a team Accord on this one 😉 Specifically the 1.5T Touing or the Hybrid Touring.

Janson Mathew do to forget to hit the bell

You can use paypal

Thats perfect

Janson Mathew that helps more than you think!

Janson Mathew hahahaha Just because u dont have Credit card only that why u wants to help this channel... if u would have got the card... u wouldn't have talked shit. Just to get replly from uploader :D

Reminds me of an old audi S8

The Euro models are going off, torsion beam suspension, going full touch screen and losing the volume knob, meanwhile they getting more chrome on the bumpers and the dash.

Not gonna lie, as an European, even the Euro models kind of suck. They're all the same small gas engines / 2.0 diesel. All the cool stuff like the Phaeton and the Touareg are either discontinued or lost what made them interesting. As you said, only the Arteon is kind of interesting, and I'll add to that the Amarok, which surprisingly has ditched the 2.0 4 cylinder diesel and now only comes with a 3.0 V6 diesel, and is one of the rare pickup trucks sold in Europe that can be a "luxury/family" pickup, since all the other pickups are either heavy duty work orientated, or recreational off roading.

Not really about the pickups. Remember, in Europe, your average pickup truck is a Hilux or a Navara (which is a Nissan Frontier). Except the Amarok and the new Mercedes X Class (which is a rebagded Navara), I can't think of any luxury orientated pick up trucks. The Ford Ranger, even in the Wildtrak trim, is orientated towards off-road performance. The Nissan Navara was, during a month or so, offered with a V6 and a "higher" trim at a ridiculous price, nobody ever bought those. Otherwise, in the other trims, which are mainly commercial/work trims, these are extremely popular and the Navara is the 2nd most sold truck where I live. The Toyota Hilux is marketed for heavy duty work. The Isuzu D-Max is marketed for heavy duty work. Even the new Renault Alaskan (which is again, a rebagded Navara) is marketed towards commercial use. The Fiat Fullback/Mitsubishi L200 (they're the same) is no where near a luxury pickup. There is a reason why in Europe all those trucks (except for the Amarok and the X Class) are sold by the commercial/professional branch of those major brands. There is a reason why imported Dodge RAMs are popular with people who want to tow boats and bring their families along, and there is a reason why people go through the hassle and cost of importing brand new F150s Platiniums when they can buy 2 or even 3 Hiluxs with the money. Regarding about the engines, I am talking about how widespread the MQB platform and its engines are. From the Golf to the Tiguan, the platform and the engine options are the exact same.

Kris Mier he needs infotainment speak

spoilers!

Oh, holy shit. Ehe Euro Passat looks fucking unreal compared to this. Wait, what....

@@ikjadoon - Yeah, right, looks just about the same only a little smaller and with a nicer interior for a significantly higher price.

the engine tho

Pepsiman maybe fall. Also what’s with the daddies thing? Is it cause people say daddy Doug?

Yuri Tereshyn OMG YOU ACTUALLY REPLIED!!!!! Best day ever😭

Yuri Tereshyn and the daddy thing is joke 😂

Oh and stage 2 on the engine lol

There is no "stage 2" on the 3.6. You can get a tune and intake which would be "stage 1" but anything past that is completely custom... And stupidly expensive.

Tony Ren wow, some of the most boring vehicles available today.

Yes, they're boring cars, but it'd be interesting to get Yuri and Jakub's take on it.

Rohan Iyer boring sells!

Hmmmm once winter hits yes

Stinky Sundae You say this as though it’s a good thing...

Because the last time they tried to sell the Euro version of the Passat in the US, they could hardly give them away.

Stephen Hendricks I don't know about last time but this time it should be fairly easy

Neo Sorry, but major manufacturers based their product planning on extensive market research focused on what consumers want to buy, not on what self-selected "enthusiasts" post on the internet. If there were a major demand for sedans among American consumers Ford wouldn't be exiting the market, altogether.

my v6 Camry does 17L/100km 😥

My i30 does 5l/100km

My avalon dose 10.9/100km (:

kamikaze my i30 does 9l/100 in the city lol

My Suzuki GV v6 does 12L/100km city. ))

Never saw your comment or that video. We just decided to say what we said, like usual

Very good!

Agree. 2 Liter GTI Turbo, DSG, Adaptive Dampers, and LSD.

toaster a stage 1 GTI makes just about 400lb torque at the wheels!!!

Ben Godenrath u guys also get the Hyundai IN 30 , we dont get it here :(

Haha full laggy digital cockpit! VW can bring all those to the US but nobody is crazy enough to pay 48k for a Passat because it has some toys, get real. And the Chinese Passat is just funny, no need to mention it.

all day

?? The Golf R32 had the VR6 engine before they developed the EA888 with big turbo and reworked internals that it has now. The four banger has more power and a wider, flatter powerband. Dropping a VR6 into it would be going back a decade. Sounds good but slower with worse fuel economy.

I know, but I would've liked to see a new modern iteration of the VR6 in the type R; indeed with a turbo or a supercharger... modern VW don't excite me as the r32 did :-/

mbrunnme I'm not gonna lie an awd vr6 turbo golf would be heavenly

I put Yokohama Avid Ascend GT on mine and they are much better than the continentals that came with it.

Michael Cianciulli golf r broooooo (in manual and orange)

A simple stage 1 ECU flash and a GTI will smoke the R and a ghost of other fast cars for 15gs less!

The GT is equally quick as a stock GTI, and a tuned GTI will be wheel hoping while the R drives away...
