Cars for Young Baton Rouge Drivers: Why Choose Volkswagen?

Nov 17, 2017

Handing the keys off to a young driver is an intense, emotional, and gratifying moment. Just like letting of that bike seat several (but it doesn’t feel like it) years ago, you want them to be safe and get to where they need to go; watching them back out of the driveway for the first, and probably every time, is no different. So when the time comes to pick that perfect set of safe, reliable wheels for you child, where should you start?

Volkswagen. The German engineering, safety, reliability, and durability speak for themselves; however when it comes to young and new drivers, VW offers several models, new and pre-owned, that make perfect sense for parents and drivers alike. Let’s take a look at some of Volkswagen’s models that are made for your young driver.

Volkswagen Jetta

The Volkswagen Jetta offers additional size without compromising fuel economy. Whether you opt for new or preowned, this is a high quality vehicle that comes at an affordable price. The Jetta also boasts the safety record that VW is famous for. In 2017 the Jetta received a 5-star overall crash rating for the 4^th consecutive year. The Jetta also features the smooth drive and technological advancements made possible by Volkswagen’s state-of-the art engineering.

Volkswagen Beetle

The compact design and tight handling of the Volkswagen Beetle makes maneuvering this automobile very easy. Like the aforementioned Jetta, safety and engineering are at the forefront of what makes this model such a promising, all without compromising value. The Beetle had a 5-star crash rating for the 5^th consecutive year.

Volkswagen Golf

The Golf features the handling and size of the Beetle but with a hatchback that offers more room for friends and cargo like sports equipment or instruments. For the past 3 years the Golf has earned a 5-star crash rating. The safety combined with VW’s reliability and efficiency makes the Golf a great option for your new driver.

Volkswagen Graduate Program

Your young driver shouldn’t be the only one to benefit from VW’s German engineering; this is where the Volkswagen Graduate Program comes in. The Volkswagen Graduate Program offers special financing for students who have graduated in the past 24 months, or will in the next 6 months. These lease and finance options can go a long way in setting up your young driver for a bright future.
