2012 VW Passat VR6
Not as boring as it looks? In general, I think VW is making a mistake in their product direction. I own a 2008 VW Jetta and I bought it because it wasn’t an Accord or Camry. I didnt want to drive a bland car. I went with the 2.5L with the manual trans; it has good power and is fun to drive. Instead of being unique, VW is now becoming one of “them”. Trying to make cars that are just like Toyota and Honda.
I haven’t driven the new Passat, but let’s hope this car still has some of the German qualities that made the former models fun and somewhat unique. A solid V6 and what should be a tight suspension, I am holding my final opinion until I actually drive one.
Take a look at what Motortrend had to say:
