The Right Wagen For You: A Look At 2018 VWs

The road conditions in Edmonton, especially during changes in season, can be described as unpredictable, at best. At Southgate Volkswagen, we see finding the right vehicle as being analogous to finding the right pair of shoes. We bet you wouldnt wouldnt slap on a pair of flimsy gel flip-flops and set off up the snowy alpine trail up to Marmot Basin, would you? We didnt think so! Those are Folkfest shoes, anyhow. The same thing is at play when searching for the right car to get you around Edmonton, year round. Thats why its especially important for prospective car-buyers in this city to educate themselves as to whats available, and whatll align closest with their needs. Itd be pretty depressing to find out halfway up the mountain road to Marmot that youd bought a summer flip-flop, and not the deep tread, crampon-bedecked, waterproof winter hiking boot you thought you had. Avoid that situation entirely by turning to an automaker whos wide-ranging product line is bound to have a machine suited to your needs! Southgate Volkswagen knows the unique seasonal demands of Alberta roads and were confident that, somewhere in our extensive inventory of new, pre-owned, and certified pre-owned Volkswagens, weve got a vehicle equipped to handle your lifestyle! This post aims to get you thinking about what you want in a car, and which 2018 VW can give it to you!
