2012 Volkswagen Passat - Good Car for the Price.
The 2012 base package VW Passat is a good, solid family vehicle. It has extensive leg room in the front and back seats. It comfortably seats 4 adults with room to spare. The cloth interior is average but the seats are comfortable. Even after hours behind the wheel the seats still feel comfortable. The console is above average in appearance and is very user friendly. The car has a smaller engine and has less then average acceleration from a stop. Once it is in full gear it runs smoothly and accelerates quickly, as needed. The car is on the low-end to the ground and sometimes is difficult getting in and out of as a result. The headroom is very roomy. My Passat has ample trunk space. Overall the gas mileage is better than average when on the interstate. Gas mileage is not as impressive ar... (more)

2013 Volkswagen Passat - Great Car from Volkswagen
This is one of the best cars I've ever owned. The quality is unmatched by others in the same price range. We test drove 26 different cars to make sure that the VW Passat was the one we wanted. Our choices came down to a base model BMW 328i or a fully loaded SEL Passat 3.6. The VW was the obvious choice, as 30k was about what I wanted to spend on a car.
Story
People comment all the time about the sharp looks of the car. I get the comment, "That's a VW?" a lot. My kids also fit nicely in the back and they enjoy riding in the back.
Pros
The interior is solid, plastic and leather. Don't let that fool you, the plastic in the car is tastefully placed and doesn't cheapen the car. The engine is gloriously built, with torque galore and an awesome engine note at full throttle. The DSG transmission is smooth as silk and quick, too. Pioneer's premium Fender sound system also sounds great when listening to Sirius radio stations.
Cons
The "dynamica" inserts seem to wear easily in the lighter colors. It's right where your butt hits the seat, and shows its age quite a bit. However, the newer models have fixed the issue. A headlight went bad 1 month after purchase, but was fixed under warranty in an hour.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta - Esserman International Volkswagen Miami
It had a friendly atmosphere with salesman who really knew what they were talking about and that didn't just try to scam you into buying a car. Plus a great warranty.
2010 Volkswagen Beetle - David Maus Volkswagen North Orlando
David Maus is a great dealer and he is an honest guy. I felt very respected when David himself was at the dealership rather than not being there.
