Volkswagen Wins ‘Best Car Manufacturer’ Award

Volkswagen has been named ‘Best Car Manufacturer’ at the prestigious Which? Awards 2015.  The trophy was presented yesterday in London, at a ceremony which recognised and celebrated businesses that deliver excellent products and services across a wide range of sectors from cars to retailers and banks to home appliances.  Which? is the largest independent consumer organisation in Europe.

Volkswagen was shortlisted for the award earlier this year, and emerged as the ‘stand-out choice’ according to Which? in the final judging.  The organisation commented: ‘All the cars from Volkswagen tested over the years are class-leaders.  We have tested three new cars over the past year and all were Best Buys.’  Which? continued: ‘Volkswagen is a popular brand with owners, scoring well for customer satisfaction in our annual survey.’

Peter Vicary-Smith, Which? Group Chief Executive, added: ‘A Which? Award is our way of recognising the businesses that share our ideals and offer products and services that improve their customers’ lives.  Good businesses can truly be consumer champions.  By treating customers fairly, businesses will be rewarded for their efforts with more confident consumers helping to drive growth in the economy.’

Volkswagen offers one of the widest ranges of cars in the UK, from the up! city car through the ever-popular Polo, Golf and Passat line-ups to luxury 4x4s, as well as cabriolets, coupes, MPVs and SUVs.  It also has a strong head office staff and network of just under 200 Retailers who strive to offer the highest levels of service, from the moment a potential customer visits the www.volkswagen.co.uk website, through their retail and ownership journeys to repurchase and beyond.

Alex Smith, Director of Volkswagen UK, said: ‘We are fortunate at Volkswagen to have a great range of products which win a large number of awards, but this stands out for me as one of the best.  A Which? Award is a genuine seal of approval from an independent organisation that proves we’re selling the right cars in the right way.  All the new products and services we offer are designed with the consumer in mind and we’ll continue to innovate to make our customers’ lives easier and better.’

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
