The Real Cost Of Owning A Volkswagen Car




Every Volkswagen is made with quality German parts and every new Volkswagen is covered for 4 years or 80,000 km. That鈥檚 1 year and 20,000 km more than the average competitor warranty. For these reasons, it is a fact that a Volkswagen warranty is a longer-than-average warranty. What do drivers think? We asked, they answered. I found insurance to be cheaper on VW than most other brands in the same class. Definitely a very safe car, it鈥檚 also reflective in the low insurance rates for the Golf (and Jetta too). The warranty is the best in its class, but with the quality of the car you鈥檒l never have to use it. My Golf is three years old and has never needed anything except for the regular scheduled maintenance. So far, mine has been exceptionally reliable. Reliable, fuel-efficient and looks good too! Regular maintenance will keep a Jetta running for years! Definitely worth the switch. The Jetta is ridiculously reliable.





Prepaid maintenance is convenient. This chart is factual. Both are for your enjoyment. How do VW maintenance costs compare? Let鈥檚 look at the facts. Enter the model and expected driving distance, and see how VW compares to similar models. Here are some helpful facts: Roadside assistance means jump-start, flat tire and lockout assistance, gas delivery and towing service. 24/7 means all day, every day. And owning a Volkswagen means you get all of these things combined. We鈥檝e made it easier for you to get more out of your Volkswagen experience.

Woofers are contained in the front doors; the woofers behind the rear side panelling have single vibration coils. In addition a subwoofer is installed in a closed bass box integrated into the boot. The heart of the sound system is the 10-channel amplifier with Class A/B output stages and 400 watts of output power. Perfectly synced to this sound system is the latest generation of the Composition Media infotainment system. The 6.33-inch touchscreen display features proximity sensors - as soon as the driver's or front passenger's finger approaches the touchscreen, the infotainment system automatically switches from the display mode to a user control mode. The normal display mode is distinguished by a format reduced to the essentials. In the user control mode, on the other hand, the elements that can be activated via touchscreen are specially highlighted, which simplifies intuitive control. The system also allows for two mobile phones to be paired via Bluetooth, providing greater flexibility of use for both driver and passenger alike. I like the interior with the white finish that matches well with the exterior colour. Design is clean, neat and stylish with the chrome pedals which makes it even more solid and outstanding.





The central console is visually easy to control and there's Dual-zone air conditioning system which allows the driver and front passenger to set their own air-conditioning temperature. There's also a USB port for you to connect your device to access your media files or even charge your phone. The DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) allows the driver to switch between automatic and manual transmission. By pushing the gear stick to the left at the "D" (Drive-mode), it becomes manual just by pushing it up or down to adjust the gearshifts. Pushing it down from the Drive-mode will be the "S" (Sports mode), and the Beetle will be like a sports car - fast and responsive. Here's how the speedometer looks like. Its simple and easy to read, with a clear LCD at the centre providing you information about the car. Integrated into the centre dashboard are oil temperature gauge, clock with stopwatch function and boost pressure gauge that provide all key information at a glance.





At the top.. there are easy controls for the lightings and the opening n closing of the weather-proof fabric soft top is just the catch at the centre. The rear mirror sports the anti-glare function which can be turned on or off. It works at night to prevent the lightings from the rear oncoming cars to be glaring to the driver's eyes. Here's the additional glove compartment which creates a visual bridge back to the era of the first Beetle. Right below is the normal glove compartment which has more storage space. And this is the Fender Sound System. Consisting of 9 speakers and 400 watts of power, the Fender sound system provides an incredibly clear and powerful sound experience, for deep bass and detailed mid-range tones, regardless of the volume. As you can see the rear seats are quite deep and spacious for a cabriolet. Front seats can be moved forward easily with the catch on the sides of the seats to allow the rear passengers get in.
