2017 Volkswagen Passat GT 2.0 TDi
Summary:
Excellent car
Faults:
Absolutely nothing but servicing and consumables!
General Comments:
This car is something else. Panoramic roof and beige leather, feels more luxurious than it is!
GT model Passat is the one to have, soo many features. Interior is just amazing and the ride is quiet and smooth. The car is amazing looking inside and out, mine has a silver exterior.
The 2.0 TDi "Blue Motion Tech" engine is fast and economical. You'll easily see 50 mpg + no matter how it is driven, and I drive fast. I had reservations about the "Adblu" system for modern diesels when I bought it, they can be expensive to repair if they go wrong. But so far mine has been OK.
They are expensive to buy and fix generally, but find a nice one and keep up with servicing and you should be OK - it will return with reliability and durability. It is otherwise hard to say anything negative about this car. The Passat has always been a family car, but feels more executive this time around.
A great modern car to own and drive!

Be aware that the TDI engines can be troubled, search online about "high pressure fuel pump" problems - on the turbo diesel engines. The gasoline TSI engines also are very sensitive to frequent engine oil changes, otherwise the timing chain will be worn before 100K miles.
