Consumer Guide Automotive Places 4 VW Cars Among the Best of the Best

Consumer Guide Automotive editors tested more than 150 vehicles across 18 different categories to select this year's winners. Each vehicle is evaluated for power, real world fuel economy, ride and handling, room and comfort, cargo space, and overall quality through everyday scenarios that a typical owner would experience, such as shopping, commuting, long highway trips, and stop-and-go city driving.

For 2010, the Jetta was named a Best Buy in the "Compact Car" category; the CC received the Best Buy title among "Premium Midsize Cars"; the Tiguan earned Best Buy status for "Compact SUVs"; and the Routan was "Recommended" in the "Minivan" group.

With German-bred engineering, appealing designs inside and out, fun-to-drive dynamics, and a host of fuel-efficient engines, the Jetta, CC, Tiguan, and Routan aim to please at every start of the ignition. All 2010 Volkswagens include the Prevent and Preserve Safety System as standard, which helps keep drivers and passengers safe during normal driving conditions, and reduce the severity and consequences of a possible crash. Like all 2010 Volkswagen models, the Jetta, CC, Tiguan, and Routan feature standard Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), up to eight airbags (depending on model), and a host of other standard features.
