5 Reasons to Buy a Volkswagen in Lafayette

Jul 8, 2015

When you make a big decision, it’s always a good idea to make a list and prioritize what is most important to you. One of the biggest decisions and purchases you can make revolves around a vehicle. Buying a new car can open up a lot of variables. While color and what type of license plate frame are all important decisions, there are five key elements to consider when buying a new vehicle. So when you’re car shopping in Lafayette, keep these in mind:

Performance: The stop and go traffic on Ambassador Caffery can wreak havoc on your life. Simply getting from one side of Lafayette to the other can take some time. Having a car that can safely maneuver through the traffic of Lafayette can be a welcomed addition to your life. When it comes to performance, there are very few vehicles (if any) that can top the German engineering of a Volkswagen.

Safety: Many Lafayette residents commute to work. Whether you are crossing the Atchafalaya Basin or heading north on I-49, having a reliable and safe car is the single most important ingredient to a successful commute. All of Volkswagen’s models boast exceptional safety records. The 2015 VW Jetta GTI received a perfect 10 in the safety category from U.S. News.

Economics: Even as gas prices soar, stopping at the pump doesn’t have to be a painful experience. Volkswagen has TDI models that get incredible gas mileage without sacrificing performance. The Passat TDI can get 43 mpg. That’s 795 miles a tank! Imagine driving from Lafayette to San Antonio and back without stopping for gas.

Reliability: Volkswagen is proud to have more cars on the road with over 100,000 miles than any other brand. Need we say more?

Fun: Getting behind the wheel of a Volkswagen is a statement about your lifestyle. Not only do you get to enjoy the exhilaration of zipping around Johnston street in comfort and style, but you join a fraternity (or sorority) of avid car owners that consider themselves VW owners for life.

We encourage you to put these cars through your own test and find the Volkswagen that fits your style and direction in life. You can visit us at Southwest Volkswagen, 6184 Johnston St. in Lafayette. Or, simply click here to find your favorite VW car.
