As a fan of travelling, you will want a car that can keep on going for miles before you need to pull into a fuel station. To make sure you pick the best car for your next trip, Volkswagen dealer Inchcape Volkswagen has conducted research to find which Volkswagen will get you the furthest on your journey from A to B.
