- Trip computer helps you get where you’re going efficiently. Are you get the most bang for your buck out of every tank of gas? Are you finding that you need to stop and fill up more often than you think you should? The trip computer in the Volkswagen Golf and Golf GTI help alleviate these problems. You can minimize stops and get where you’re going faster by keeping track of your current and average fuel economy. The trip computer lets you know how much farther you can go on your current tank of gas, preventing you from stopping too soon, or missing your last opportunity before running out. The trip computer also records your average speed, allowing you to calculate how much time you have left until you reach your destination.
- Cargo room that allows for a quick getaway. If you have a day long road trip planned, or a weekend excursion, the Golf has more than enough room to keep you packed and prepared. The Golf has 22.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 52.7 cubic feet behind the front seats when the rear seats are folded down. In real terms, that means you can fit two standard airline carry-on bags and a 52 quart ice chest without folding the seats down, and have room to spare.
- Infotainment system helps you enjoy the ride. The infotainment system in your Volkswagen Golf offers a number of great features, but really sets itself apart by allowing you to fully integrate your smart phone with the vehicle. Through Apple’s Car Play or Android Auto, you have access to your phone and all the apps within it built into the console.
- Sunroof helps you enjoy the weather. In most places, this time of year is a great time of year to open the sunroof and let the breeze in. Here in South Louisiana, that idea can be met with, “are you crazy? You’re letting the air out!” Fortunately, the Volkswagen Golf comes with a panoramic glass sunroof so you have the option of letting the sunlight in, without letting the a/c out. Of course, once the sun goes down, feel free to fully enjoy the sweet southern summer night air.
- Rear view camera and park assist help when you are in unfamiliar territory. They say practice makes perfect; and for a lot of drivers, driver’s education was the last time they practiced parallel parking. But, if you find yourself in a place where you need it, park assist comes in handy. The rear view camera is even more valuable. If you’re leaving a busy mall, parked on the side of a street, or backing out of your own driveway, it greatly reduces blind spots and creates a safer experience.
