“Performance, space, and boldness,” are some of the characteristics Mon loves about his Volkswagen Lavida. He noted that Volkswagen Philippines only requires him to visit its service centers once a year only for the compact sedan’s preventive maintenance service (PMS).

“I know Volkswagen produces topnotch cars worldwide, wherever they may have been manufactured. I also wanted a vehicle that isn’t costly to own. I got enticed by the once-a-year PMS visit, which costs half as much as the annual PMS in other brands. Moreover, I knew that Volkswagen cars are fuel-efficient,” said VW Lavida owner Mon Buela.
