Frequently asked questions about Volkswagen Passat
Is the Volkswagen Passat a good car?
The Volkswagen Passat is quite a good car and one of few large family cars still available in the UK as the market for this segment is dying out. Six decades of excellence are certainly in VW’s favour and the ninth-generation Passat handles excellently whilst offering great comfort, reasonable fuel economy, and a fairly spacious interior.

The VW Passat has not been discontinued in the UK and several other key markets such as China, but it has been discontinued in the United States since 2022.
