German cars for a German-owned company.

When you think of fleet cars, most of us will probably picture the usual nondescript, base-model pickup-truck, white colored sedan, or even a van. Sure, these can do the job and are affordable, but they are the furthest things to what one can describe as elegant. 

SCCI's fresh new Volkswagen Santana fleet

Scheirman Construction Consolidated Incorporated (SCCI) however, has begged to differ when it chose to acquire a fleet of Volkswagen Santanas for the company’s engineers and staff. 

So why a VW Santana? For starters, SCCI CEO William Russel Scheirman Jr. is of the opinion that the Santana is “very smart-looking, safe, efficient, and reliable”. Moreover, he also says that it is easy to operate and affordable to maintain.  

Then there’s also the fact that he is already familiar with Volkswagen’s reputation for making world-class cars since he had previously owned and drove a Volkswagen Golf in his home country of Germany.

Going back to the Santana, Scheirman is also impressed that it has struck a good balance between performance, on-board features, and build-quality. Cost to performance ratios after all, is one concern of anyone who’s running a business.  

For those who are curious about the Santana, do note that the Philippine-spec model uses a 1.5-liter inline-4 gasoline mill. At most, it can produce up to 108 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque. Power is then sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
Safety for the Philippine-spec Santana is then handled by dual-front-airbags, anti-lock braking, electronic stability control, and an engine immobilizer with keyless entry. 

Prices for the Volkswagen Santana currently range from Php 755,000 to Php 898,000.
