The simple fact that I can inform myself from a 5 year old clip and still feel like it was filmed last month says a lot about the quality of the channel! Indeed one of the best reviewers!

This gentleman seriously knows how to review cars, he deserves more attention! It was one of his videos to why I bought my Jaguar!!!

One of the best car reviewer in the world!

I must say I don't often give praise to car reviewers but I absolutely love your channel and your detailed reviews. You go over Cars the exact same way I do when I'm looking at them. you check the quality the sturdiness the workmanship you just check out all the details and I look forward to the reviews. thank you!

5 years after this awesome review and this car is still super cool! Big salute for Autogefuhl from Sveti Stefan, Montenegro! PS: Your reviews are not just reviews, they are pure art.

Talking about detail review!! Top notch best on youtube.

Absolutely brilliant in depth review. For those considering buying I have the 2.0TDi Passat Estate B8 (latest version) and I get 38 mpg around town, 40-43 mpg mixed driving and on a 70 mile trip on motorway I got 51.4 (5.5l\100km) and this is improving all the time as the engine is running in nicely now (976 miles). Absolutely love the space, comfort and equipment for n my R-line spec car and thanks to Autogefuel site for giving such great reviews for the buyer

Interior of German cars... simply the best. The review, brilliant as always.

And one more think your reviews is the best. Thank you .

I really like the close ups that you use on this video, for example around minute 4:00. In the videos that you made some time before I felt that this was a weak point, sometimes you were talking about some specific details with a long single shot. So congratulations for the camera work and the editing.

thanks for testing, you are working on holidays :) thank you again.

You are the best. Complete.

Great review , as usual very in depth , Very nice car. Keep up the excellent reviews. Happy Holidays and Happy new year to you all at Autogefuhl Saeed

Thomas and Matt Watson. Mustard reviewers. Should be on Top Gear. Got a superb and love it but think Passat still has an underrated elegance. Understated. Thomas Superb review made me choose it.

I just subscribed. I like your in-depth reviews a lot. Keep up the good work. BTW. JUST bought a Passat 1.8 2015 TSI DSG Comfortline, and I love IT!!!

I miss this old reviews, when Thomas took his time, the interior of the vehicle was analized in real detail, with his fantastic voice, very calm, explaining everything about the materials, almost as we were reviewing the car.

As always....exhaustive n well presented review sir!!!

Herzlichen Dank für deine Arbeit. Endlich mal ein langer Beitrag, in dem auch Emotionen (im Rahmen unserer deutschen Möglichkeiten ;-) ) rüberkommen und nicht diese TV-Heinis, die - gefühlt - von einer Karteikarte ablesen... :-D ;-)

I have a north American passat 2016....it looks the same, but it's completely different when you look closely.The Euro spec is premium car..mine is not...the only similarity is the wonderful 1.8 tsi,i absolutely love the engine.

Hello Thomas please review more Audi and Volkswagen's cars, and thank you for this Passat review! Your review is amazing, love the scenic background!

For everyone especially interested in the Passat B8 sedan, taken from the full comparison test Superb vs Passat vs Mazda6: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7Kgn8qkqN69XYU.html

The 1.8 seems to be one of the most rev happy and good sounding 4 cylinders today. Even more so than the 2.0 petrol.

That engine is just awesome! I have it in my Skoda Octavia a7 but with manual gearbox and the car is so fast and the noise of the engine is so good for 1.8 litre. I must say that the quality of Passat's interior is just a bit better than Skoda's. That's why you pay more for a Passat actually, also the gadgets. Great review as always!

Great review, love the seats, the interior, I wish they would build this version in North America. Kind regards, from Canada.

Good. review

Damn, this looks like it is competing more with the likes of Audi or BMW rather than Honda or Toyota. VW, u have really outdone yourselves here. Great Job!

in north america the passat is different shape and size i drove it and i love it !!!!!!!

Thomas, you prefer digital or analog speedometer? Amazing review!

Just a short comment to that review: 1. The Passat is the new S class. It's so spacious and luxurious. And has the same weight as an S class from 1987. 2. I am just fine with the seat adjustment both manual and electric. That way the car is lighter. The seats look wonderful. I especially like the many different ways you can adjust them. 3. The rear view camera is very nice, too. But with these many different kinds of how to use it I am not sure if life really gets easier by it. I would call it technical overkill. 3. In my opinion the central display and the climate control should be in a higher position. 4. In general I want to say that a car of this size and fuel consumption only makes sense from the environment aspect if regularly 4 adult people sit in the car. If regularly driven just by one or two persons a car like the Polo is just fine. 5. Aggressive versus safe and polite driving style: When the traffic lights turn yellow I am supposed to stop. Period. 6. 150 hp should be the legal maximum a car is allowed to have. Like Thomas honestly said: If you have that extra amount of power (that you actually don't need at all for safe driving) you will also (ab)use it. 7. Many more aspects of this car could be addressed but this time I wanted to write just a short comment. The Autogefühl reviews and my comments seem to have something in common. Both are "full length" ;-) Thanks Thomas for the excellent review!

Another great review, Thomas ! Big like ! How do you appreciate the DSG7 of the Passat vs. the DSG6 of the Superb?

Awesome car man and a professional review like always great job m8 :) btw can u tell me that will this the exact *same* model will come to Middle east? :/

Interesting test :)! The inclination of the parked vehicle gave it a space ship feeling (thumbs up!). Are You based in "Ruhrgebiet" or is it only the location for this test? Have a successful 2016! :)

Very good review as always! 2 comments: The only thing that really bothers me in all VW cars are those empty buttons around the Transmission (from minute 11:11 to 11:16). It gives the feeling that a lot of things are missing in the car but in the end nothing is missing, since even the complete trim levels of the GTI, Passat, etc nothing happens there!! And I don't understand why VW USA is not capable to build this Passat in Tennessee. The 2016 model in the US seems 4 years behind!

You should do a review of the Northamerican Passat comercialized only in Canada, US and Mexico, it will be very interesting

I love the Passat Line up, however the version they sell here in North America looks nothing like this and I would love to have it :(

Gonna get it soon

I like the Volkswagen Passat sedan. I've already driven that, 2.0 TSI variant

We've come to depend on your videos for even used car🚗purchases: remember that cars that you review become really important for people like us in Wisconsin, where used cars are important for second cars because of the heavy snow❄seasons. Therefore, your reviews are appreciated for both new and used car🚗purchases. This is especially the case for premium compact executive saloons, which the VW Passat is.

Thomas, Thank you for the excellent review, sadly the Passat that is for sale in Germany is not available in Canada, we get the one that is for the USA which is in disadvantage with the German model.

Looks like premium is the new mainstream. I wonder how real premium brands will evolve since this Passat and its competitors are really top-notch. I think electrification is the new technological frontier and will clearly be a factor of distinction.

well done review! pls what is the exact name of this white color?

Great review, Thomas and a great car, but for me, if I would need to buy a new car, I would definitely go for the Skoda Superb Style Sedan, with the classic engine in Germany 2.0 TDI with 150 hp and DSG, of course with fabric seats or If I'm lucky with alcantara.

Love the design of this Passat, specially the interior how the lines flow horizontally across the dash. I saw your video then went to the VW US web site but the 2016 Passat, the interior looks almost like my 2009 Passat. Not sure what the reasoning is for having the US version so behind, they'd sell way more cars if it wasn't.

It's nice to see a real VW Passat again. They went extinct in North America a few years ago.

thanks and merry christmas to the autogefuhl team! this discover pro with rear cam is the same on the golf 7 or is it specific version?

Highline 2017 comes with optional knee airbag! Check vw.de and do a configuration!

Great review! :) Trying to decide between A3 1.8 and Passat 1.8... Which is more fun to drive? Better quality in the A3 over the VW? What would you pick (single guy)?

How long does a dry clutch dsg last on this car?

I wish my 1.8t had the dsg pared with it

I'm not a fan of white. But I think this car looks great in 'harvard blue' with a light interior. The looks may not be all that exciting, but I think it would then look quite classy and the design will probably continue to look good in the future.

The Passat in EU is more attractive on the interior especially the virtual cockpit- it adds life to the car. Otherwise, VW always goes conservative with the Passat design maybe because they target a specific segment of the market - executive cars and people above 50. In North America things are completely different: it's plain boring let's put it that way. I do like the fact that it's a turbocharged line-up all the way from the entry trim. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all Autogefuhl team! Keep bringing these excellent reviews for 2016...See you then

Very Nice review.. what color is this?

I don't like that digital display, analogue for me. Otherwise, a really nice car. I think we only have diesel versions in the UK.

I just bought Audi A4. I almost like Passat's exterior more, but I have to disagree with Thomas about silence. I chose Audi A4, because Passat has terrible tire roll noise - at least on Finnish motorway roads.

Do you know how the 220 hp Passat handles compared to the 180 hp tested by you ? Is the 220 hp Passat as comfortable as the 180 ? Consider please that both have DCC. Thanks !

Will u ever do a review on the Volkswagen Passat GTS Estate? I'm looking into getting one of those and i can't seem to find any good videos with it.

Great review. Would you recommend to go for 1.8 TSI DSG7 ? Is there a big difference between that one and 2.0 TSI DSG6? I would like to go for Super with 1.8 TSI , but I am not sure about dynamics and also that DSG7. I bought VW Polo Gti based ond your test. So I have some experience with EA888 1.8 TSI , but with manual transmission. So I am wondering how this engine behave in larger car and with DSG7. Thank you

Surprised to find yours is fitted with a Bridgestone! and I assume you're from Germany! Kinda irony. VW in my country tries to fit their cars with Continental tires because it's a continental brand.

Double glazing window option new to you?

Considering to get sedan, audi a4 2016 or passat 2015 , difference on price tag: i can get passat with highest trim level, on a4 i can only get some which one should i choose?

The font in the dashboard looks a lot like comic cans - a huge miss by the UI designers!

Fun fact, electric ergoComfort seats (14 way) cost NZ$3,000...

Also verbraucht das auto in der Realität ca 9-10L? ganz schön viel oder? Habe ein Passat aus 2004 (116PS 2.0 4 Gang Wandler) der braucht das gleiche

I really can't see VW bringing the B8 to the US which is about the same size as a Jetta. Focusing more on the Jetta would just make more sense, it's the best selling VW in the US. But then again, there are not all models available here, no vans, pick-up trucks and small city cars. The Japanese offer everything.

Will North America get this version?

who you think is better This passat B8 or Golf 7 👍

Nice car. Wish VW would lay off the piano black plastic on the dash. It's hard to keep looking good over time.

Nice vídeo Thomas. Do you think VW can compete with Mercedes BMW and Audi (Same group) in quality,performance confort etc ? Thanks

can anyone here suggest me which one I should go for, the new Passat or new Superb?

And about room on back seat,so less space,I cant even seat upright, and I am average height 180cm... Very uncomfortable...

What about oil-drinking problems on the latest version 1.8 tsi?

Könnt ihr mal ein VW Phaeton fahren ?

Volkswagen - Das Co2 👍😁

what about cheating device

cant decide between VW passat and Audi A4.

I think for the money you pay USA 🇺🇸 version is much better. It's bigger more comfortable and cast 10000$ less. I had European version and now I but USA version because I move to America. I love it. It's so soft to drive.

hey somas i was sinking to buy one of sem..

brand new car and the check engine light is on.just vw things :p

Wäre voll gut wenn ihr auch Deutsche Videos machen würdet

Passat is the ugliest among three not pretty cars compared. Hope people would by more cars such as Talisman, Insignia, 508 or anything else not matching such utilitarian approach. C class, 3 series and S60 are not bad but I have highest expectations from new Citroen C5, C6 and Alfa Romeo Giulia

cool, but that clock on dashboard looks cheap as fuck.

Its looks nice,inside and outside but also the same,about price and competition it is so overpriced,Biturbo Engine good from 0-100 but after 100 kmh-200kmh very very slow for 240hp,seats are firm,very hard for driver and passengers so uncomfortable,and suspension is hard as rock,for bumpy roads a real hell... You can find a 1000 of cars new or used,with good desing,way better ride quality (soft and comfortable suspension) better performance for even less money...

every car is associated with the volkdwagen grp!?

This motor and 2L 220 hp are not available if i will buy it in France this suks i turn now to BMW 328i GT

The US version has been dumbed down for our market. The European version is much nicer.
