14. 2014 Volkswagen Passat

The Volkswagen Passat comes with a height-adjustable driver’s seat with manual lumbar support, but power-adjustable, heated seats with lumbar support are available as options. A lower door sill and keyless entry and start improve access. A rearview camera, a large rear window, a thick steering wheel that tilts and telescopes, a high-contrast instrument panel, and larger dashboard, audio, and climate controls, add to the ease of operation. The interior offers ample room and a quiet ride. The 170-horsepower, 2.5-liter Inline5 engine achieves an estimated 22 mpg in the city and an estimated 32 mpg on the highway. The Passat comes with front-wheel-drive and a five-speed manual transmission. A diesel powertrain is available.
