This is a fun and zippy car. Very good on gas. However, not reliable. Lots of recalls and malfunctions. I had electronic problems. However, I was lucky that everything was covered under warranty. This car is the cheaper version of the Audi a4.

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat SEL that I leased is a decent vehicle. The exterior styling is basic in design with nothing outstanding to be noted. The interior is very roomy, which is one of the reasons I considered this vehicle. The interior gives the illusion of some luxury with the addition of faux wood trim instead of the usual plastic trim. It does offer a superior sound system with high-quality speakers. I do not like the faux-suede inserts with the leather seats, as they tend to be harder to clean. My main dislike is of the back-up camera system that takes a full 90 seconds to activate.
