What are Volkswagen automatic cars like to drive?

Used Volkswagen automatic cars are some of the easiest cars to drive thanks to their automatic gearboxes. 

It's called a DSG gearbox, which stands for ‘Direkt-Schalt Getriebe’ or ‘Direct-Shift Gearbox’ – just a fancy way of calling it an automatic gearbox. 

Without complicating things too much, what this gearbox does is effectively use two separate clutches that work together to create the smoothest possible gear change. 

Volkswagen automatic or manual?

There’s a very distinct difference between a Volkswagen with an automatic and one with a manual, and that is a third pedal. 

As we’ve touched on, an automatic Volkswagen is by far the easiest option to take. They’re so easy to drive and you don’t even need to use a clutch pedal or change gear – it’s all done automatically, if you’d pardon the pun. 

Whereas a manual is a much more physically demanding car to drive. You have a third pedal (the clutch) you need to engage and a gearstick to change between all the gears. 

Who are Volkswagen automatic cars suitable for?

Volkswagen automatic cars for sale are some of the best examples of the gearbox you will find anywhere. 

They’re easy to use, easy to live with and are consistently impressive to drive. 

We’d recommend a used Volkswagen automatic car to everyone and anyone who is after an easier way of life with less faff. After all, that’s what we’re all about. 

Should I buy a used Volkswagen automatic car?

How do you start a Volkswagen automatic car?

You start an automatic VW like any other automatic car. Put your foot on the brake and turn the engine on. 

Are VW automatic cars reliable?

Yes, automatic Volkswagens are very reliable cars, offering longevity and high-quality German parts that have been tried and tested for decades.

How long does a VW automatic gearbox last?

This entirely depends on the life it’s had. If it’s had a fairly easy life, you can expect it to run for hundreds of thousands of miles with minimal issues as long as it’s regularly serviced.
