Miles Overview
The 2012 Passat is Volkswagen's mid-size sedan, built in Tennessee and aimed squarely at family buyers who want German engineering without the premium badge. It's a comfortable highway cruiser, and the diesel version is the one to pick if you want to go 800 miles between fill-ups. The cabin is roomy enough for tall passengers to stretch out in back, and the trunk is one of the largest in the class. Some owners have dealt with electrical gremlins and a few recalls, so it's worth checking the service history before you buy. Stepping up to the TDI SE from the base S adds the diesel engine, a six-speed manual, and a few extra comfort features. The 2.0L I4 makes 140 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, so it pulls strongly from low revs, and it returns 35 mpg combined. The TDI SE comes with a manual transmission as standard, which gives you full control over the engine's torque band.
