When it comes to mid-sized sedans, the Volkswagen Passat is the one to drive own. For its features, options, safety and performance, it very easily takes the top of its class in comparison to the competition.  That's why it's the proud winner of numerous awards recognitions from quite a few different sources.  It needs a shelf of its own.

The 2013 Volkswagen Passat keeps accessibility in mind for its drivers.  That's why it comes standard with wireless Bluetooth^®phone and media connectivity, a 6-speaker sound system with MP3 CD capability and aux input for all standard audio devices. Put a little more into the SE package and you'll also get 8-way power seat adjustments, a Premium VIII touchscreen radio system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio with a free 3-month subscription, self-dimming rear-view mirror, rear passenger ventilation for heat and A/C, and more.

With tons of engine options, you can experience a huge range of torque and acceleration availability.  The baseline Passat S carries a standard 2.5L 5-cylinder engine that gets an estimated 31 MPG highway. Feel the power behind the Passat with a V6 upgrade:  a 3.6L, 280-hp VR6 engine with loads of torque and pick-up, you'll hardly feel the difference in weight between driving just yourself or the whole family around.  When it comes to Volkswagen, always consider the economical approach as well; try a 2.0L TDI engine for a clean diesel alternative yielding an estimated 42 MPG highway.

Back to that award shelf.  Did we mention how big it is?  The Passat is proudly recognized for numerous awards, most notably (because safety is the most important thing) the 2012 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 5-star rating.  It also can boast itself as the recipient of the Consumer Digest's Best Buy recognition, Motor Trend's #1 Mid-Sized Sedan pick, a place in Kelley Blue Book's Top 10 Best Family Cars, and Cars.com's Best of 2012 choice.  At this point, a shelf may be out of the question.  We'll have to make room for the Passat in a museum as the pinnacle of German engineering.
