Hello,
For those interested in a layman's opinion on the real-world differences between this year's and next year's model:
1) DSG shifting has become smoother in the 2015
2) I find the steering wheel response better on the 2015 (more "connected".)
3) The 2015 engine has a higher rated HP than the 2014, but I'd be hard pressed to say it makes a noticeable difference. Although I am still in the break-in period on the new one, so it may not be up to full HP yet. EA288 sure runs smooth as silk, and seems a little quieter.
My Volkswagen Experience
Owned a 2014 TDI Passat SE for 10K
Own a 2015 TDI Passat SEL with 2200 mi already
Own a 2010 Jetta TDI as well (80K and going strong)
God I love these TDI cars!
