Read moreThe VW Golf is the Perfect Pre-Owned Car if You are a Student
The Volkswagen Golf has always been a favourite of Canadian buyers due to many characteristics that make it a great buy as a pre-owned vehicle for a student, such as its safety, its practicality and the fun it allows behind the wheel.
A safe, small car
A pre-owned Volkswagen Golf is one of the safest vehicles you can buy in its category due to the large number of active and passive safety features that have been installed in the Golf for many years already. These features include all of the basic systems that help maintain control during an evasive maneuver or on slippery roads, such as stability control and traction control, but they also include more advanced technologies such as anti-whiplash seats. This feature uses active headrests that move forward during a rear-end collision in order to “catch” the front occupant’s head and prevent injuries to the neck.
More practical than you might think
Despite its small size, the Volkswagen Golf is a very practical and versatile vehicle that is perfect as a pre-owned car for students. Indeed, the large cargo space of the Golf and the practicality of its hatchback make it easy to transport large items such as bikes, music instruments, skis or any other items you might need. This can also come in handy at moving time by allowing you to save money by transporting most of your possessions without the help of movers.
A vehicle that is fun to drive
A pre-owned Volkswagen Golf is just as fun to drive as a new one, which means that you can benefit from the same performance and the same handling for a fraction of the cost. Depending on the year of the Golf you chose, some characteristics could change, such as the power output of the engine or the tuning of the suspension system, but rest assured, the Golf has been known as one of the best driving compact cars for many decades already, so any pre-owned example will live up to its reputation.
