1st place: Volkswagen Passat
2nd place: Chevrolet Malibu
3rd place: Honda Accord
The Passat's drivetrain was a particular high point among owners, but the car's fuel economy and storage space also earned high ratings.
The Passat's EPA-estimated fuel economy is about the same as for the other top-ranked vehicles in its segment.
