2012+ Passat owners - How old are you?

[Sinner]

Mid-40s
2014 Passat SEL

 

[niagara]

72. - 2014 Highline [SEL] Black, cornsilk leather. Added Michelin MXV4's, side window deflectors, tinted glass.
Over 50 yrs of buying cars ... my first was a '64 VWVan. Owned so many -- TBirds, Lincoln MK VII, Z28, vans, trucks, Subaru's .... and about 20 others. About 1.5 million miles.
My wife and I were impressed with the balance of quality, innovation, features and character built into the Passat compared to other similar products. The higher mileage is an added bonus from what we hope will be a great new car experience.
From up in the Great White North. Cheers!

After today, I strongly believe we need a column for 10 years old and under.

[quattroginger]

first time passat and TDI owner here. 30yrs old. always been into vw/audi. sold my b5 a4 with FT setup and a 2004 f150 screw to get into this 2014 sel.

 

[kpenner]

59 - 2014 opera red/cornsilk Passat SE 6M. Dealership removed the metallic interior trim and installed the walnut trim, looks great, runs great. Just emptied my first tankful, got 47 MPG!

Both my wife and i are 30. I bought my first TDI in 2004, a Jetta. 420000km later it is still running strong. Bought a 2012 Passat TDI Comfortline just over 2 years ago for my wife. It has been a great vehicle. My wife drives much less, 37000km but so far has been much more reliable than the 2011 Fusion it replaced (transmission flare issue and electric gremlins from day one..) Happy motoring!

Age: 29
Traded my 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid for a 2014 Opera Red/Titan Black Passat TDI SE w/ Sunroof. I loved my Honda, but the hybrid batteries were at the end of their life. I'm really happy with my purchase, and I see many years and many miles of diesel motoring ahead of me.

When I purchased the 2012 Passat SE Tdi

 

[My2013TDI]

25, Passat TDI SEL Premium 2014, this will be my third NEW car purchase exchanging my 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport with the 5.7 hemi. Never ever will I go back to a V8 for a daily driver.

I traded the same thing for my Passat 4 months after buying it. I loved the truck, it was just a bad idea to buy it while I was driving nearly 50k a year. Fast forward to today and I'm looking for an SEL to replace my SE that hit 40k today..

 

[CRABMAN141]

30 - 2013 Passat SE (DSG) first auto, coming from a MKIII Jetta TDI with 296K on it. Still running strong, but I need to do some maintenance on it ASAP.

 

[pkiron]

How old are you

I am 52years old..

 

[BigWorm]

36 years of age. Just got my 2012 passat tdi automatic fully loaded with nav and I will never buy a gas car again!!!!

 

[DCi]

52 and purchased 2012 Passat TDI SE with 97,800 miles already on it. 2nd VW, 1st diesel VW, and 1st turbo. Loving the car, its power and the mpg - dislike the 100,000 mile service prices though. Hoping that my dealer will have some sympathy for me.

 

[Softrockrenegade]

100k service isn't a bad one. Just oil and filter, fuel filter and cabin filter. 120k and 130k are the ones that are gonna cost some cash. (Timing belt is due at 130k)

 

[bertilak]

I'm surprised at the results. I thought a sedate, four door sedan would appeal more to an older crowd.

Nothing "sedate" about this 4 door, maybe you're in the wrong forum

Really? I've been seeing all sorts of posts that indicate that the timing belt is due between 80 - 100k. Now I'm confused

130K on the CKRA, it's in the NMS Passat, cannot say the other TDI's some I believe say start having it checked at 60 or 80 and check at each oil change.

60 -- 2013 Passat TDI SEL. Other car is a 2007 Subaru Forester

50 yrs old. 2013 passat tdi sel

 

[jhinsc]

Once I got past 35, I'm always older than I want to be! Still get told I'm in my late 30's or early 40's . I figure they're lying just to make me feel good. I think you can guess my age doesn't start with a 3 or 4 anymore. I remember the day my mom was crying, kneeling down before me telling me Kennedy was shot (the first one), and the day she wouldn't let me watch Star Trek because she wanted to watch Peggy Fleming skate in the winter Olympics. She didn't have her priorities straight! All you people in your 20's and 30's probably don't know what I'm talking about.

 

[EfinTDI]

Wow jhinsc you're old...
So what did you get, we'd like to celebrate with you

You can see my TDI in my fuelly signature. Had it since July and now have 6500+ miles on it.

Yep, I remember those as well. My age started with a 6 last Thursday

While my first choice would be a Tiguan TDI, I'm quite pleased with my new Passat. Just got it last month. I haven't had a diesel VW since my 1980 Rabbit L. Frankly, there are times I miss that car. Other times, nah!
