The 2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T SE (with car dvd players) recently benefited from a mild facelift that gives it more presence thanks to a bolder grille and the use of optional LED running lights. LED running lights. Over the course of our two-day test, the Passat鈥檚 nimble manners were only surpassed by the power and smoothness of its 1.8-liter turbocharged engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. It鈥檚 willingness to respond to your right foot made two-lane passes a snap. Add to the mix a quiet and comfortable cabin with ample rear seat legroom, and you have the recipe for a daily commuter ready for that weekend road trip. In stacking up against the competition, the Passat excelled in both highway and sporty driving, the precise steering with heavier feedback tended to work against it in city traffic. While the 1.8-liter turbo impresses with its performance, it comes at the expense of fuel economy.
The infotainment system was so-so, but the real concern is the car鈥檚 resale value. Highway Driving While the horsepower number on the turbocharged 1.8-liter 4-cylinder is a respectable 170 horsepower, the real star here is the 184 lb-ft of torque. This allows the Passat to step out smartly and cruise effortlessly at highway speeds. And it鈥檚 the torque that gives you the confidence you need when stepping into the throttle to pull and out and pass. The Passat is responsive across all speed ranges and the adaptive cruise controls pretty much means minimal intervention when cruising along the interstate. City Driving In traffic, there鈥檚 a bit of disconnect between the turbocharged engine鈥檚 response and the accelerator, which makes smooth getaways a bit tricky. Many of the Passat鈥檚 attributes that make it a hero on the open road or the twisty bits seem to work against the car here. And also, the car鈥檚 generous proportions make it a bit more of a challenge to park in congested confines. The standard rear-view camera goes a long way in assisting in parallel parking.
What about install an Android car DVD? Sporty Driving Even though this particular VW Passat was designed to be bigger and tuned more towards American tastes, its German pedigree in driving dynamics comes through loud and clear. The steering is well-weighted, communicative and precise. The body motions are controlled; the ride taut without being harsh. The fun-to-drive mantle passes to the Passat in this go-around from perennial favorite Mazda6 with the added benefit of having more cabin space. Interior Appeal If flash or high comfort is high on your list, you might want to look elsewhere. The interior has been spiffed up a bit as part of the refresh, but the more things change, the more they seem to stay the same on the Passat. This is a good thing since the interior sports a clean, crisp design, high quality materials and a functional, practical layout. There鈥檚 a bit of hard plastic on parts of the door and the lower dash, but the rest is covered in soft touch materials and the V-Tex leatherette seating with contrast piping gives it an upscale feel. Among the standard features are heated seats and dual zone climate control. If installing an android 2 din car stereo in your car, that would be great!
