Driving in a Volkswagen vehicle is a blast but, like driving any vehicle, it's also a responsibility. Thankfully technology has advanced to keep us safe even when we need to take our eyes off the road for just a moment. For example, the new 2016 Volkswagen Passat can be equipped with the Lane Assist feature that can keep you in your lane, as the name suggests. So next time you're suffering from allergies and need to reach for a tissue, you can do it knowing you'll be in safe and secure for the next second or two…

When we look up all the incredible news coming from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, we see an amazing combination of road-ready production models and forward-thinking concept cars, and we love it all.

This all-electric van has some classic Type 2 touches, can be charged to 80% in just fifteen minutes, has an estimated range of 233 miles, boasts gesture-activated doors, and a voice recognition system that responds to "Hey BUDD-E!"

At Hendrick Volkswagen of Concord, our team is no stranger to what the team at Jalopnik likes to refer to as 'Worst Car Stories.' When our customers stop in to shop with us, they often share many of their own stories so we've come across quite a lot of those worst case car scenarios. In the video below, check out what this car owner had to say when he was asked to share his worst car story:

• A Flat Screen TV
• Carolina Panthers Tickets

You don't hear the phrase "affordable sports car" get thrown around too often, but it's certainly a fitting description for the new 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI. After all, the hot hatch was named "Best Sports Car for the Money" by U.S. News & World Report!

For your driving pleasure, the Golf GTI is motivated by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that supplies the perfect amount of power for accelerating on highways and cutting corners around town.

Though the 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is a part of the award-winning Volkswagen Golf lineup, it does have more cargo space than its hatchback kin. With 12.1 extra inches of length to work with, the SportWagen boasts 33 percent more cargo space behind the rear seats and 26 percent more cargo space when the rear seatbacks are folded down. Of course, it's not just the extra space that has us attracted to this all-new wagon:

If you're craving a hatch that knows how to conquer the left lane, the Hendrick Volkswagen of Concord team suggest opting for the fast paced 2015 Volkswagen Golf R. While it may share a similar exterior to the Volkswagen Golf GTI, the Golf R is an-all out hot hatch that comes equipped with a 292-horsepower turbo 2.0-liter engine, all-wheel drive, a gnarly sport suspension, quad tailpipes and a six-speed automatic transmission with launch control so that you can satiate all of your speed cravings.
