Many people think family car and the image of a minivan or SUV pops in to their heads. For those are actually looking for minivans and SUVs, here at Lindsay Volkswagen, we've got the Routan and Touareg to cover you, but what about the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta? Well, we're here to tell you it's more family friendly than you might think.

The safe, reliable, and fuel efficient sedan may not show up on lists of family friendly vehicles, largely because we do typically find bigger vehicles to populate the rankings. However, with an IIHS 'Top Safety Pick' and three additional feet of legroom to top its segment, getting the family to and from any location can be handled with ease in the 2012 Jetta. To go along with the roomy interior, the Jetta also boasts 15.5 square-feet of trunk room to load up whatever family supplies you need for long- and short-distance trips. The popular model's stylish leatherette seating also can handle all sorts of wear and tear.

With features like iPod connectivity and Fender Premium Audio Systems, controlled from mounted buttons on the steering wheel, everyone can stay entertained as well.

There's plenty more to love about the new Volkswagen Jetta, but to find out just how family friendly it is, stop in to our showroom at 22455 Cedar Green Road Sterling, VA 20166 and see for yourself. Bring the stroller, a car seat or any other item you drive around with frequently, and you can test the functionality inside the car before we take a test drive to see how it rides on the roads of Dulles, Fairfax, and Herndon.

If you want the added convenience of a hatchback for the family, or for an animal companion, check out the 2012 Jetta SportWagen, too. Even if you just want a car to enjoy for yourself, there's a Jetta option for everyone.
