If your memories of Volkswagens consist of cute Beetles and peace sign-plastered Buses, you'll be pleasantly surprised with today's extensive VW lineup. Just as some of the earlier VW's represented a lifestyle for a generation, new models are designed to fit your lifestyle in today’s hi-tech world. With so many options, which one should you choose? Questions To Ask Yourself Buying a car is about choosing the style and features that best fit your lifestyle at a price you can afford. Here are some questions you might ask yourself to narrow your choices: • What style appeals to you? In the US, Volkswagen of America offers 14 models that range in size from the compact Golf, Beetle, and GTI, sedans like that Jetta, Passat, and CC, and the larger SUVs such as the Tiguan, Touareg, and Jetta SportsWagen. Want a sporty convertible? VW even has a couple of convertibles with the Beetle and sporty Eos models. • How important is fuel efficiency to you? Volkswagen is committed to offering cars that burn clean with lower emissions and high mpg rates. Generally, gasoline powered cars offer the lowest mpg ratings, while diesel models do considerably better. Some models such as the Jetta are available in gasoline models that offer 24 mpg city and 34 mpg highway, and diesel models that offer 30 mpg city and 42 mpg highway. A hybrid model of the Jetta offers 42 mpg city and 48 mpg highway. • What is your budget? VW offers quality cars in price ranges from the mid-teens to the mid-40s to keep you cruising the highway at whatever stage of life you're in. If you are looking to spend under $20,000, the Golf and Jetta have models starting in that price range. Want to spend around $25,000? Check out the Beetle, Passat, Jetta SportsWagen, GTI or Tiguan. If you'd like to spend around $30,000, the CC or Eos might be for you. Willing to spend $40,000 in return for a large powerful car? The Touareg is the ultimate in VW size and luxury. • How much cargo capacity do you need? If you travel a lot or find yourself in the position of soccer team carpool captain, you will want to have a vehicle that not only has adequate seating, but good storage capacity as well. Cubic storage areas in Volkswagens vary from a low of 5 ft. with the Beetle Convertible, to a roomy 71 ft. in the Touareg. Of course, storage capacity varies by model; while the Jetta sedan only has 16 ft., the Jetta SportsWagen has 66.9 ft. The Rabbit hatchback offers 46 ft. while the small Tiguan SUV offers 56.1 ft. Selecting The Volkswagen For You The Volkswagen that's right for you depends on your lifestyle. When you're narrowing down which model is the best fit, you can start your search online. First look at the models to see what appeals to you. Then, read the specs that are offered for each model along with the price parameters. Once you have narrowed down your options, it's time to actually visit your local Volkswagen dealer to see and test drive your favorites. Your Volkswagen dealer offers a good range of new and used vehicles from which to choose. With VW financing available on all models, you can easily find the best Volkswagen to fit your unique lifestyle.
