Remember when our parents told us that winning wasn’t everything? That so long as you tried, it didn’t matter if you finished first or last? While we certainly appreciate Mom and Dad’s sage advice, when it comes to choosing a car, why go for the fourth-best, third-best, or even second-best when you can simply drive the best?

Well, if you’re shopping for a new Volkswagen midsized sedan, you’re in luck. That’s because the 2016 Passat was recently named Best Midsize Sedan by Cars.com after coming out on top in Cars.com’s Midsize Sedan Challenge.

The 2016 Passat won top honors for its spaciousness, safety, available VW Car-Net® App-Connected technology, and fun-to-drive nature, besting rival models like the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Mazda6.

To even be considered for the 2016 Midsize Sedan Challenge, vehicles had to have an automatic transmission, an EPA estimate of at least 28 mpg combined, and have an MSRP of less than $28,000. The American-made 2016 Passat has all of the above, making it one compelling midsize sedan.  

Like 3Birds Template, the experts at Cars.com are big fans of the 2016 Passat thanks to its winning combination of style and technology. The award for Best Midsize Sedan is also something Volkswagen is clearly proud of.

“We are thrilled for the Passat to be named Best Midsize Sedan by Cars.com against such formidable competition,” said Hinrich J. Woebcken, President & CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. “The Passat offers the perfect combination of sophisticated styling, outstanding App-Connect technology, and the great driving dynamics that Volkswagen is known for, making it an outstanding consumer value.”
