2016 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T S
Performance & Engine
The "1.8T" refers to the turbocharged four-cylinder engine that was the workhorse of the VW lineup at the time.
Engine: 1.8L Turbocharged 4-Cylinder
Output: 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque
Transmission: 6-speed automatic (standard for the S trim)
Efficiency: Notable for the era, achieving roughly 25 City / 38 Highway MPG.
Key Features of the "S" (Base) Trim
The S was the entry-level trim, but 2016 was the year VW started packing more tech into the base models to stay competitive with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
MIB II Infotainment: A 5-inch touchscreen was standard, though it lacked the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto found in the higher SE trims.
Dual-Zone Climate Control: Surprisingly, automatic dual-zone climate control was standard on the base model.
Safety Tech: 2016 introduced a standard Rearview Camera and Automatic Post-Collision Braking System (which applies brakes after an accident to prevent secondary impacts).
Wheels: 16-inch alloy wheels (no hubcaps here, which was a nice touch for a base trim).

4.5out of 5 overall- 5.0
Very satisfied and BEST Warranty in the Industry
by D on Thursday, August 22, 2019
Gets very good MPG, 27.5 City, 35.4 Highway. Quiet ride, Technology package warns of front, rear, blind side. Car STOPS on it's own if I don't. Handling is very responsive. Good traction in rain & snow. My 1st 2 fuel fill ups were lower tier rated regular gas. The engine bogged down when I needed acceleration. I switched to a Top tier gas (Exxon Regular) the acceleration was on the money, and the MPG increased as well. I recommend only using the 4-5 TOP Tier fuels with the 2.0 engine - 5.0
This is my third VW. I owned each one.
by Hank on Saturday, October 05, 2019
Good dealer service. Performance is more than adequate with the 1.8 T. I appreciate the roominess of this R-line Passat, with Comfort and Light Pkg. What I dislke most of all is the 19 in. Salvador Alloys w. 235/40x19 inch tires. They are so succesible to curb/pothole scrapes. I've owned over 23 new cars in my lifetime and NEVER had this problem before. All 4 tires / wheels are a mess. I do appreciate that VW still give you a spare rather than a can. You will appreciate this if you get a flat! - 5.0
Excellent car, German design works for all drivers
by VW Seth on Thursday, June 27, 2019
I bought my car in January of 2019, with only 42,000 miles on it. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it, as I’ve never owned a German car, but many people in my family have; the designs works for any level of experience and life stage. The modern body style looks very sleek, and inside the car the all black interior seems like a luxury car. Many fantastic elements are incorporated into this car: a sleek, modern dash, tons of room in the back (especially compared to other sedans), and overall comfort inside the car. The car also performs above par in its class, I have the 1.8 litre TSI, which has an incredible fast acceleration through Volkswagens turbo system, and the suspension and steering work like a dream. I’ve been very impressed with this car overall, it drives just like my brothers 2018 Audi A4, which cost over 5x the value of my car, proving just how the value of this car is exceptional. 9/10 car, when you look at price, comfort, and performance.
