Before you come down to our Merrillville lot to see it in person, read up on some frequently asked questions below:

#1: How Many Passengers Fit in the Volkswagen Golf?

Though the Volkswagen Golf is compact, it can comfortably fit up to 5 passengers. It also has a hatchback trunk and foldable rear seats that bring the cargo area from 17.4 cubic feet to an accommodating 53.7 cubic feet.

#2: Where is the Volkswagen Golf Made?

Until recently, the Volkswagen Golf was made in Mexico--but recent restructuring and changes should see production move to Germany within the year putting German engineering back at the heart of the car.

#4: Does the Volkswagen Golf Need Premium Gas?

Nope! If you feel like treating your car once in a while (and flush out your tank), fill up with a mid-grade higher-octane fuel, but for your day-to-day, the Volkswagen Golf only requires regular gas to run its best.

The Volkswagen Golf comes with 7 stylish color schemes, four interior upholstery options, and two distinct trim levels so you get the most out of your ride. Check out:

The Volkswagen Golf comes fitted with a lithe, turbocharged engine that allows up to 147 horsepower, 184 lb-ft of torque and can give drivers up to 37 miles to the gallon of highway driving range. It also comes with available 8-speed automatic transmission and a manual shift to Tiptronic mode or Sport mode to give you an extra performance kick.

#7: Is the Volkswagen Golf Reliable?

The Volkswagen Golf has been a fan favorite since its inception in the 70's. The look has changed but Volkswagen's commitment to quality has not waned. The Golf is now the strongest, most efficient, and most stylish it has ever been and drivers love it more than ever. With regular maintenance and care, your Golf could stay on the road for decades to come and drive smoothly the whole way.
