Let's face it: Quality can be a tough factor to determine in a new car, especially when it is lasting quality that you're considering. In order to aid car-buyers in finding out what vehicles represent the upmost quality in the automotive world today, Strategic Vision, Inc. has developed an annual Total Quality Index. This is something that we here at Platinum Volkswagen are quite excited about. Why you ask? Because everyone's favorite German automaker has three models featured in it!

To compile the list, Strategic Vision, Inc. ranked respondents' experiences with purchasing, buying, owning, and driving the cars in question. They are:

-    Medium Car - Volkswagen Jetta
-    Small Multi-Functional Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf
-    Entry Utility Vehicle - Volkswagen Tiguan

The praise from Strategic Vision, Inc. isn't just limited to these three models, however. Rather, Volkswagen has also be named as the 'best Full-Line Corporation' by Strategic Vision, Inc., proving that no matter which new Volkswagen you may be considering, you won't be making the wrong choice.

But, if you'd like some help narrowing down which model may be right for you still, then be sure to arrange at test drive with us today at 340 West Old Country Road Hicksville, NY 11801. Test drives can be arranged simply by either dialing (888) 693-5057 or by filling out a contact form online.

Dr. Edwards, Ph.D. Chairman and Founder, Strategic Vision, Inc., explains how the firm assesses quality and why Volkswagen performed so well, "Decades ago, we decided to measure 'quality' from the 'total' perspective of the driver/owner, because this is how people actually judge 'quality in terms of the decision to purchase or not. The number of complaints is considered, but there is absolutely justification - even requirement - for also considering the total positive experience created for the owner driver...We explicitly measure the emotional impact of each vehicle attribute and ask the customer what they love about their vehicle. Jetta...owners report more love than most all their competitors..."¹
