Some of you may have noticed that our all-new 2012 Volkswagen Passat has undergone some changes. One of the more obvious ones is that the new Passat is bigger. With that in mind, you may be inclined to ask some questions, such as, “Does bigger mean better?” or, “Why should I care?” or even, “What should I have for lunch today?” Well, we can’t help you with everything, but if you were to ask Kelsey Mays of Cars.com, you might find answers to some of those questions you’ve been asking.
Kelsey spent a few moments with the 2012 Passat at the NAIAS reveal in early January, even going so far as to write his article in the backseat with legs “comfortably extended.” What were some of the adjectives that jumped out at him about our new beauty? How about “… Roomy. Cavernous. Friggin’ huge.” These words are music to our ears. See, not only are we bringing construction of the Passat state-side, we’re also giving our wonderful VW fans more reasons to feel good about it, with class-leading rear leg room and increased elbow room.
Yep, the 2012 Passat is certainly pushing the bar for midsize sedans. Starting with a more spacious interior, and ending with a more comfortable you.
Does that answer your question(s)? We thought so. But in case you’ve got more, take a look at the Cars.com review of the 2012 Volkswagen Passat here:


After reading how VW stabbed North Georgia in the back by only hiring those living in Tennessee for it’s new plant I personally won’t be buying this car or recommending it to anyone that I know.
GOOD FOR YOU DAVID!
Really?
It’s not as if Georgia offered incentives for bringing the VW plant into their state – so why should GA benefit from the resulting jobs?
The State of Tennessee did the work for their people – so the people of Tennessee should benefit.
Lovely! Turning a brand new product into a Political agenda.Any wonder we Americans are hated by so many in the world.Anyway,I will certainly be checking this car out.I’m an automotive enthusiast,I don’t plan on buying American.Although Im standing by Cadillac.Its nice to see VW creating more jobs in America,heaven knows many in the auto industry need them,especially with the Detroit disaster.
I have a TDI SEL on order and waiting for delilvery.
