We here at Platinum Volkswagen know that the Volkswagen Passat is no stranger to praise. The mid-size sedan from our favorite German automaker has already taken home the prestigious "Car of the Year®" award from Motor Trend and it boasts a perfect five-star crash safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. So what could be next for the Passat, you ask? We have the answer!

The game-changing, new Volkswagen Passat was named the "Best of 2012" by the automotive gurus at Cars.com. While some may be satisfied with one award, and others somewhat impressed at two, it's impossible to deny that three awards of this magnitude are certainly a compelling reason to test drive a new Volkswagen Passat today. After all, arranging a test drive is as simple as contacting us online or by phone at (888) 693-5057.

And make no mistake about it; awarding the naming the Passat as the "Best of 2012" was no mistake either. In bestowing it with the honor, Cars.com write, "By delivering a level of value that families demand and premium amenities and composed driving experience that's come to define VW, the car instantly becomes one of the best in its class.¹

Meanwhile, the automotive critics at Edmunds.com have a unique take of their own. In a more general sense, they outline the vehicle's appeal to both consumers and critics by saying, "Designed and engineered in Germany but made in America for Americans, the redesigned 2012 Volkswagen Passat deserves serious consideration from midsize family sedan shoppers."¹
