I absolutely agree with every pro & con you mentioned!! I really appreciate you both taking the time to review my Passat.. It is nice to hear an expert’s opinion 😄 Much love!

Honestly. This looks like a great value sports car. But at the same time it looks decent on the outside and great on the inside. I really might buy one.

The Passat is one of the best bargains for any mid size sedan category. The base can be had for less than 18K !

That's a perfect daily car to drive, love the plat bottom steering wheel, but dashboard looks plain. They could of put red trim around the air conditioner vent to match the grill, brake calipers. Anyway love your review keep doing what you doing. You doing an awesome job bro.😀👍

I been looking the gt passats and fell in love!! thank u for this great video!! Love this car a lot!

Great video Joe!! I love the honesty of your reviews!! I also like the test drive!! You and Tom are a great duo!! I laughed when you said you gotta be careful of people cutting in front of you!! ! You are a very sharp guy and so well spoken!!! Have a great weekend brother!! God bless!!🙏🏻😀🙏🏻

Really enjoyed your review. I am currently car shopping and this made my mind up. As a 52 year old I just can't see myself in the current fleet of buck Rogers starhip-esque designs like the Nissan Maxima and mazda6. I love the refined yet understated look. From the small splash of red to that slim hint of a spoiler. The car just says class to me. And with enough performance to make it fun.

I like this better than the Jetta. It looks pretty sporty for what it is. The v-6 really helps. I agree with the exhaust tips, they look like a vacuum attachment or one that was round and was smashed. They also have a thin opening, looks like it restricts the exhaust flow. Pretty cool your students follow you ! Nice job

Another great review! Congrats on 20K subs!

V6, 280hp, 0-60 5.8 that's not bad.. Sounds good too..

Nice review! Very nice looking car and great value!

Not just any v6 VW’s one N only VR6 🙌🏽

VW is perfect car for many People in the world And number one in Europe . .love VW the since old beetle ,old passat And VW bus ...the carismact Brand in my heart

Wow I had no clue We had this Passat here in the USA That’s great!

Thanks - going to a single car soon and this package may be the deal. We have two 6 speed manuals, a Mazda 3 and E46 BMW, but the DCT seems like the answer for those whose left knee is toast but do NOT want a slip'n'slide automatic.

I'm looking at buying a 2018 Passat GT do these cars have timing chains or belts and if so what mileage should they be replaced thanks in advance

Gotta love Florida drivers at 14:27 going full right to left in front of you...... that happens ALL the time in Florida.

0:56 "I know Tom is laughing right now" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the video, I am looking into buying a used Passat, so I might just get me one of these...The Passat seems like it checks all the boxes for me.

I love it 😊 i need one like this with a right hand drive in my country guyana

this cars got 4 cats. so when i took off literally just my mid muffler it opened her up so much and really really made it sound much better and slightly louder so i could actually hear exhaust over engine noise with windows down.

I love my GT. Very nice review.

that V6 sounds good! I wish my Golf R had the V6, but I still love it anyways.

I don't care what anyone says. All l know is this and this the straight raw unflithered truth. I bought my 2018 Platinum gray GT back in August 2018. Since then, l have had at least 200 people give me verbal commitments about this car. Everywhere l go people stare as to wonder what it is. Someone stopped me today and said "thats one handsome car". Most of my friends has tried to convince me to put a tint on it l, but l have never had a tint and goes back and forth each day to get it done. Love the looks of this car, her name is Crystal!!

Why dont they make the info screen portable with a plug in option...just basic info in car dash...would keep the dash clean....maybe a backup small screen only

I always examine today's vehicle,especially VW and Audi and think/search: what is the aftermarket world doing with it?....some company somewhere has corrected its perceived flaws.

i am confused. some specs i have seen say 'you' can get it with fender sound. but then when i look up ones for sale it never shows fender. i mean who cares but... raiti. i discoverd you less than 2 weeks ago and you are now my go to guy on all cars that i couch surf about these days. your are the best mr twinkie :)

Aside from the R34, i think i'm gonna lease a VW or Audi. Never had German car before so it'll be interesting to experience. Always liked the Passats styling

I love this car ! We don’t have it in Australia!

You are missing some very important information, for example, MPG City/Hwy, MSRP for that year, and model, does it come as a 4x4 or just FWD? These are the questions I wish you would address in your youtube presentations.

I absolutely love my white 2018 Passat GT. I noticed there is no compass I need a compass!!

Would love to see a manual in this V6

The warranty was enough to make consider buying one.

Thx Emily.

It's one of Volkswagen's best offerings to date.

Looks nice! Sounds great!

When you have $$ it's a bargain but when you're humble and obedient and work hard for your $$ then we cristian call it blessings and more blessings my brother hallelujah Hallelujah glory to God hallelujah ✝️

Any car with a v6 non turbo interest me. That's all I need for power. Never had interest in VW till I seen this video and that's cause of the v6.

You should vlog it when he goes to do it that be sweet video

Thanks for this. Really enjoyed your review... We own a 2015 and a 2016 Passat, both with the 1.8 turbo. We are getting one of these (2018 GT) now that VW has removed them from the 2019 lineup.

I would like to know what the sport rims called ? Plan to change it to this. I'm from Malaysia

The VR6 from VW have the most interesting sound due to the fact it shares the same head,as the V6 is a very narrow 15 degree V angle. Def missed the Golf VR6 version. My fav Golf is def the Mk5 R32. Even for 250bhp. It able to keep up with the normal city traffic. Add a turbo and it can be a fast hot hatch and faster than the Golf R for using the same AWD 6 speed DSG. Those exahust tips are def decrorative rather than functional. The actual exhaust tail pipe is way smaller. Aftermarket exhaust is def the way to go if you want a slightly louder exhaust note esp from a VR6. This can be a good platform for a sleeper since the exterior looks normal other than a few sporty hints.

not a fan of VW, but this one has always been a great and very clean car.

"Am I playing PacMan or Galaga? I'm not sure..." LOL

11:40 of course the GTI exhaust is more noticeable inside because it is a hatchback, there isn't a huge trunk to separate you from the outside, put the seats down in the Passat and you get the same effect of increased noise from the outside.

Nice video

Best part of the PASSAT GT is that it’s a bargain! I believe $26,000 as shown in this video. Might be less than that actually.

Nice ride what kinda gas does it recommend premium? Or regular ?

When I go buy myself a new car half to come to Florida so you can review it .if ya would

This car is near perfect! I'm in the market for a new car and this may be the one. The white paint with black trim looks great. Thanks for the excellent walk around and test drive, Joe. And thanks to Emily for sharing her beautiful ride!!

Does it come with a timing belt or chain? If belt then stay away because replacing a timing belt on a Passat V6 is a nightmare.

I think the v6 in these cars are more reliable the turbo ones have a lot of carbon build up very complicated engines nd unreliable what u think?

Wow, very cool Passat!

This is my next car‼️🔮🤞🏽

They should make a v6 full performance Passat. Am talking turbo, cold air intake, performance tires, and others. Just imagine.

just love mine and for your knoledge, i average 7.1liters /100kms on the highway at under 2000rpm.

Miss this in 2023

Is this a 2018? Or my 2013? 5years later they can't update the looks and graphics. Fail. Moving to mazda.

B5.5 4 motion with manual was probably the best version of the passat

Joe- what’s MSRP? Nice review!

The new Passats don’t come with the V6 option now which is a downer. You can only get the 2.0 liter turbo charged four cylinder. These engines get good gas mileage but less power and more strain on the engine! I would love to find this Passat that’s low low mileage!

throw an AWD driveline in this and take my money.

Joe, I was talking to two of you x-students who say that you were around when wheels were made out of stone. No worries though, I think those TWO students were ones that you gave an "F" to. lol Enjoyed this review on the People's Car. Save the Wave.

Depending on how you see this, Passats have some of the worst depreciation of any vehicle in the US. Over 50% in three years. However if you want one used, or know this information going into a new purchase can really use to your advantage. I’ve seen these brand new sold for 24K and. I think the MSRP is close to 31K? I’m torn between this, the GTI, or the new Jetta GLI which debuts later this year. Just found your channel and subscribed, look forward to watching your other videos!

They're not "fake buttons" They're space holders for the far superior European models.

Not available in Germany! BUMMER! I want that! Then retrofit a BWS Engine, stainless steel exhaust from Supersport, auxiliary heater, heated windshield, Helix Soundsystem with Dynaudio. 3Q0 Cam retrofit, and some other things!

Love this car

Yea sound is a bit weak..280 HP...should fly. ...Interior. ..Top notch. ..Very $$$

Nice.............BUT............... please STOP with the piano/gloss(dust, smudge -everything) black everything. Wish that V6 was making MUCH more power. Tuned is one thing & actually making use of that tuning is another. C'mon Dubb.

Jetta GTI I would love to see that haha, but no it's Jetta GLI.

I like it..but wife won't touch them..and she can buy any car she wants...I think she was scared by a bug long ago..lol...I would buy a Beetle today if it had the motor in the back and air cooled again

Thumbs up Raiti

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Far too late on the review, '18 is the last year for the GT. Might still be a few around.

Jetta GLI would be more correct as far as a "bargain performance sedan". Passat GT ? not so much. Budget Audi A6 ? Sure, I would be ok with that.

It’s also faster than the TRD Camry

They're called DSG farts lol

I like the steering wheel I like holding on to it !!! Good car though too bad about the reviewer

Good

All this car needs is a DSG

Car looks nice but take off the Gt it’s just a regular Passat, hyped up that same old motor VW’s had forever now

not building the GT for 2019

Car sounds great. The interior is kinda of meh.

It's a nice family car. More than enough power. Sports car this is not, look elsewhere...

👍👍

My 15 year old V6 nissan maxima has almost the same power at 265hp...

Smart looking car I must say, shame it’s German 🇩🇪 Electronic handbrake tends to seize, old Passat overrated.

I zonk this car as a whole.

But is it reliable tho?🤔

Volkswagen Passat GT is just a name added to a regular Passat with some accent molding and a sporty front bumper nothing significant under the hood. VW and sporty/performance are words that do not belong in the same sentence.

Hi

Лучше даже чем новая jetta gli

Come back in two years and tell me about VW's legendary reliability.

This guy needs a new wardrobe

I won't drive a VW without a manual. I own a '10 CC 2.0T 6MT and it's a hoot. I'd trade for the GT if it had a stick though.

Vr6.

Nope...Ford Fusion Sport AWD is.

a VW?

My Passat R36 2009 is far way better than this new GT. Same engine more horsepower 0-60 5,6. Lol

Looks hideous (no disrespect to Emily). It's like a Hyundai has a groupy with a Audi R8 and out came this hideous half breed. There's nothing to like at all about it. Nothing works...but if you want to have an alternative to a Toyota Camry with more style and go, then sure, I can appreciate this. But overall, hideous.
