When looking to purchase a new car, a variety of factors weigh in throughout the process. Comfort is one of them, and when looking for a vehicle that meets the standards for a smooth and relaxing ride, many turn to Ward's and their list of "10 Best Interiors." To the surprise of nobody here at Platinum Volkswagen, the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle snagged a spot on the list.

If you're searching for a family vehicle in the greater Hicksville area, you might not see the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta pop up on many publications' lists of family vehicles, perhaps because the Jetta isn't a minivan or SUV. Here at Platinum Volkswagen however, we're here to tell you that the new Jetta is a better option for a family car than you might think. It's safe, reliable, fuel efficient, and not to mention roomy and comfortable, making perfect sense as a family ride.

Wherever Volkswagen drivers in Hicksville and beyond get their Volkswagen parts, be it the dealership or an independent center where they can receive Volkswagen service and repairs, it's important both places have the right tools and expertise to service the vehicles. That includes making more dealerships like Platinum Volkswagen and other service centers aware of CollisionLink, an online parts ordering and fulfillment solution from OEConnection. It also means training these auto specialists to ensure all Volkswagen models are repaired under the same standards across the board, which is exactly what Volkswagen has set out to do.

Regardless of our age and health, any one of us can be diagnosed with cancer. There are countless support groups out there, including Stupid Cancer, a non-profit that empowers young adults who have been affected. Each year, the group holds an oncology conference and social networking event called OMG! Cancer Summit for Young Adults, now in its fifth year. For OMG2012, Volkswagen has decided to step up and support Stupid Cancer and their mission, by donating one of its new Volkswagen models for a good cause.

Drivers in greater Hicksville area may have heard last summer about Volkswagen introducing the innovative Temporary Auto Pilot system (TAP). If you missed it, that's okay, let Platinum Volkswagen explain and give you some important news regarding this fascinating technology.

Similar to driver assistance technology you'd find in many vehicles on the road today, like park assist and fully automated vehicles, TAP is a compromise between the two technologies.
