Here's Why The VW Passat Is A Great Midsize Sedan Bargain

The 2021 VW Passat SE is one of the lowest priced midsize sedans on the market. It's also equipped with a lot of standard safety features like blind spot monitoring system, rear cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. However, the options are also limited, and some of the really interesting features you can normally find in other midsize sedans cannot be found in here. Come see what else I have to say so that you'll know more before you buy, and to also see how the Volkswagen Passat 2.0T SE compares to the competition

The VW Passat is a nice car. To me it looks very modern. The VW Passat is a conservative and at the same time modern car. I like that it has a large gasoline tank. Less stops at the gas station.

I'd take a Passat over any of the competitors. Classier and solid

If they think that is a boring car then I give up, the ones he listed as comparisons are dreadful. You should see the version we get here in the UK its a lot nicer than the one you are reviewing.

I bought a new 2020 Passat in September of that year. At two years old and 23,000 miles no complaints or mechanical issues. It runs great!

I bought a 2018 SE new. It’s been a great “dad” and “going to work” car for me. Can’t beat the value vs features. Apple CarPlay, heated seats, push bottom start, leatherette iOS nice, German styling, huge trunk and backseat.

i find passat extremely attractive. I don't care what others say or think. It is a pity that US gets this cheaped out version. Here in Australia we get Europe's Passat and it is such a joy to drive and own. It is infact built in Germany and quality is Wayyyyyy better than Tiguan.

I just purchased a 2021 SE. I use it to commute 250 miles a week. It’s a great hwy cruiser. My only complaint is under acceleration from a stop it’s a little noisy. Once under way it’s pretty quiet. It’s a lot of car under 25k

I love these cars. I have a 2016 r line Passat and it has been very reliable. Haven’t had any issues with it at all. It 45,000 miles on and I’m thinking about upgrading to the 2021. I also like the big tank. Fewer stops at the gas station.
