Sometimes it could be the features listed on the outside of a box, maybe it’s the way a shirt is displayed on a mannequin or just the feel of the fabric on the hanger. Shopping for a car is similar in a lot of ways. At first you may just want to glance at the sticker, perusing the list of features, functions and statistics. Now that you’re intrigued it’s time to sit in the driver’s seat. Lastly, and most importantly, just as you would try on that dress before you bring it home, it’s time for a test drive. Just as you would spin in front of the mirror in the dressing room, counting the reasons that justify your soon-to-be latest purchase; here are 5 reasons to buy a Volkswagen Passat in Baton Rouge.
1.) Great Mileage: You can opt for the 1.8 T, which is a highly competitive 4-cylinder that boasts 28 mpg.
