To distinguish one auto brand from another, many drivers in Sterling, Dulles and Tyson's Corner have to find some key points that make one stand out. At Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles, we've laid out six reasons we believe a new Volkswagen fits the bill.

To start off we to point out the numerous awards models like the 2012 Passat and Tiguan which have earned honors  like IIHS 'Top Safety Pick' recognition while the Passat was Motor Trend's Car of the Year. There are of course many more where that came from, but needless to say, Volkswagen vehicles are lauded just about everywhere you look.

Along with being fun to drive VW models are safe, and include systems like Hydraulic Brake Assist, Tire Pressure Monitoring, LATCH and Intelligent Crash Response, which should make all drivers feel secure behind the wheel.

With the awards and safety, you'll also find quality, and that's seen in the sleek built and design of the exterior, along with the fine German engineering under the hood in the full lineup of sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, and SUVs. That quality of course comes in entertainment form too, with Bluetooth technology, a touch screen sound system, and features like push-button start making the riding experience that much better.

When we talk about the quality of the ride, that is aided by Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance, providing drivers with Volkswagen service and routine auto checkups at no cost, along with any other car repair needs.

Of course, we're hoping you won't need any big repairs to a new Volkswagen as the vehicles are primed to perform with 4MOTION All-Wheel Drive and DSG transmissions on turbo engines. To hear more on that, you simply have to ask a Volkswagen driver in the greater Sterling area and they'll tell you just how powerful and efficient new VW models are.

Finally, there's the environment, as Volkswagen does more than promote a few green initiatives, it actively puts technology like TDI Clean Diesel in its vehicles, while also building hybrid models in LEED certified buildings to show their commitment.

If those reasons help Volkswagen stand out among the pack in your search for a new car, we invite you to visit us here at Lindsay Volkswagen of Dulles, located at 22455 Cedar Green Road Sterling, VA 20166 and we'd be more than happy to answer any questions and arrange a test drive.
