The facts of owning a Volkswagen
Here are the facts: owning a Volkswagen means you get a vehicle that’s built to last, a longer-than-average warranty, and quality service designed to save you time and give you peace of mind. Combine these factors and you’ll realize that owning a Volkswagen is more affordable than you think.
Longer-than-average warranty
German-quality engineering means every Volkswagen is built to last. But that doesn’t mean we’ll skimp on giving you peace of mind. Volkswagen vehicles are covered for 4 years or 80,000 km*. That’s 1 year and 20,000 km more than the average competitor warranty, meaning Volkswagen warranty is a longer-than-average warranty.

What our drivers think.
We asked, they answered.
I found insurance to be cheaper on VW than most other brands in the same class.VinceVolkswagen Driver
Definitely a very safe car, it’s also reflective in the low insurance rates for the Golf (and Jetta too).ParminderVolkswagen Driver
The warranty is the best in its class, but with the quality of the car you’ll never have to use it.AlVolkswagen Driver
Reliable, fuel-efficient and looks good too! Regular maintenance will keep a Jetta running for years!DinaVolkswagen Driver
My Golf is three years old and has never needed anything except for the regular scheduled maintenance. So far, mine has been exceptionally reliable.RyanVolkswagen Driver
Definitely worth the switch. The Jetta is ridiculously reliable. I’ve had mine for 5 years now and it’s required no additional maintenance aside from the recommended oil changes, etc.HumbertoVolkswagen Driver
