What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2018 Volkswagen Passat

2018 Volkswagen Passat Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2019 0 VW made some compromises on the powertrain as they did with the display. The car insists on starting in second gear, which makes modulating the gas fairly difficult. In fact, I would say this car is probably the most difficult I had driving in traffic. Either I pushed the pedal too hard and it shifts to first with a small bump and has rapid accelaration, or it lethargically leaves a greeen light slowly accelearting up to speed starting in second gear. There is no happy medium in diving this car. As you might expect, when we get to gas mileage this car does exceptionally well for a car of this size. However, as far as powertrain driveablity goes this car is worse than any other car I have ever tested or drove in my life. see full Volkswagen Passat review
