Come to Fred Beans Volkswagen of Devon and visit our in-house Passat expert, Joe Levash.

The 2012 Volkswagen Passat has earned the top safety pick by IIHS. The Passat has six airbags inside the cabin and comes standard with Stability Control, ABS, and brake-assist. It has an Intelligent Crash Response System. The hazard lights go on, the doors unlock, and battery and fuel pumps shut off in case of an accident.
It has been made using laser-seam welding as opposed to spot welding. The Passat takes advantage of the laser-seam welding which results in less rattling and it keeps the vehicle stronger for longer.

Not only is the Passat smooth and sleek on the outside, it boasts comfort and convenience inside. It is the best in its class for rear leg room. Adults can fit comfortably behind one another for long rides.
Also, Bluetooth technology comes standard on all Passat trim levels with hands-free calling.
Climatronic dual-zone automatic climate control comes standard on all trim levels for extreme comfort for both passenger and driver.
An AUX-input jack is also standard, so everyone in the vehicle can enjoy their own music via mp3 player or iPod through the Passat's speakers.
Overall, Passat is the epitome of affordable German engineering. The Passat simply outperforms other vehicles in the midsized class when it comes to handling and responsiveness. The Passat's steering and suspension are much more responsive than the midsized segment it is used to and that is one reason why it won 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year!
The 2012 Passats have been made with three different engines, 2.5L Gas, 2.0L Turbo Diesel, 3.6L Gas. Volkswagen has made a Passat for everyone from the fuel efficient TDI to the Horsepower Happy V6.
