The VW Jetta has been Volkswagen’s entry in the small sedan market for over 30 years, and it has taken many shapes in that time. Recently, in response to the demands of the American market, the Jetta has received an overhaul to make it lighter and more affordable. After years of refinement, Volkswagen presents a more powerful and more comfortable vehicle. Here is a brief look at what the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta has to offer:
The 2012 Jetta offers a great driving experience, with a sporty 170 horsepower engine that can be bumped up to 200 horsepower in the GLI version. The handling is responsive and intuitive, as can be expected in a Volkswagen, while a finely tuned suspension and stability control offer plenty of traction for tight cornering.
The body of the new Jetta has been recently updated to give it a more modern and athletic appearance. The front end and grille have a minimalist elegance, and smooth flowing lines draw the eyes across a sleek roofline to a unique taillight design.
Inside the Jetta is an environment that one might expect in a far more expensive car. The six-way power seat and four passenger seats can be upholstered in a variety of high quality materials, with the cabin trimmed in Titan black and chrome. Fun and functional features include a six-speaker sound system with Sirius Satellite Radio and a Media Device Interface with iPod compatibility.
Despite the many features and impressive capabilities, the Jetta comes with a low sticker price. But the savings don’t end there; The 2012 VW Jetta is powered by a highly efficient engine. With highway fuel efficiency ratings of 34 mpg, the new Jetta continues to help you save at the pump.

Keeping a new car looking great can be a challenge, but having a shiny VW in your driveway day after day is well worth the effort. Regularly maintaining your car’s appearance is also a great way to make sure that its looks do not deteriorate to a point beyond what could easily be fixed. Here are a few tips to making sure your new Volkswagen looks as good as it runs:
Many new vehicles are dinged, dented, and scratched due to reckless parking. When you have to park in a large parking lot, try to stay far from other vehicles to avoid damage from swinging doors and shopping carts, and be wary of curbs when parallel parking.
Spots on your cars paint from bird droppings and other unpleasant things can be particularly bad for the finish. To avoid letting the acidic matter eat through the wax coat, be sure to quickly wash off any messes.
Long sunny days can be hard on a car’s paint job, causing colors to fade and eventually crack. If possible, park your car in a garage or car port when leaving it for an extended period of time. Another option is a foldable car cover.
Many people like to eat meals on the go, with the steering wheel in one hand a cheeseburger in the other. Not only is this dangerous, it also leads to a messy cabin that can become smelly and difficult to clean.
An easy way to damage your VW is by backing into some unseen obstacle. Be careful when reversing out of a parking spot, and take advantage of the increasing availability of rear view cameras.
If your car has been through its share of dents and scratches, then bring it to the body shop at Findlay Volkswagen in Henderson, Nevada. We specialize in the sales and service of new and used Volkswagen vehicles. Call us at (888) 723-3167 or contact us online for more information.

The Volkswagen Touareg is a rugged and versatile crossover SUV that has filled a crucial role in the VW line since 2002. The midsized vehicle was designed as a joint project by the three main VW Group companies who set a goal of developing an impressive off-road vehicle that drove like a sports car. The 2012 Touareg is the result of those designs, plus 10 years of adjustments. Here is a look at what the new VW Touareg has to offer:
Off-Road Abilities
Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system provides the 2012 Touareg with excellent traction on any surface and the ability to crawl over challenging terrain. This along with a unique suspension system and a powerful engine have made the Touareg a top choice for teams competing in extreme races like the Baja 1000 and Dakar Rally.
Sports Car Character
Design assistance from performance-minded Audi and Porsche engineers made sure that the Touareg handled as well on the road as it did off of it. A 280 horsepower V6 engine and Servotronic steering make the 2012 Touareg both fast and responsive—especially for an SUV.
Premium Comfort
The Volkswagen Touareg is no ordinary SUV. This luxurious vehicle is finely trimmed with options like Vienna leather seating, a leather-wrapped shifter knob with chrome accents, and even Burr Walnut trim. Technological features include Bluetooth capabilities and a 10-speaker sound system with Sirius Satellite Radio and iPod compatibility.
European Style
The German design and supercar influences are evident throughout the bodywork of the 2012 VW Touareg. The elegant flowing lines of the impressive SUV brilliantly hide its off-road character, while a bold front end hints at the power under the beveled hood. Silver roof rails and other subtle accents give the Toureg a refined look.
If you are interested in driving a luxurious yet capable SUV, then call Findlay Volkswagen at (888) 723-3167 and set up a test drive of the new Touareg today. We provide excellent VW vehicles and services to Henderson, Nevada and the surrounding areas. Contact us online for more information.
