} } </script> <div class="entry"><!-- open entry --> <p>When it’s time to head to the beach from Irvine, Garden Grove, or San Juan Capistrano to check out some sets, it helps to have a spacious and reliable vehicle to help you cart your board across the Costa Mesa Freeway, Garden Grove Freeway, or along the PCH. But if you’re setting out for your next ride and you’re contemplating the best cars for surfers, you may want to check out the assorted variety at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore Irvine.</p> <p>We’re here to showcase a few models that are some top picks for surfers, based on the cargo space, the accessibility, and even the features!</p> <h2>Volkswagen Golf SportWagen</h2> <p>The Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is an energetic hatchback that certainly offers a lot inside and out. The vehicle includes a 1.4-liter turbocharged and intercooled 4-cylinder engine that boasts 147 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. This engine also includes direct injection, which pumps fuel directly into the combustion chamber, which reduces fuel waste. This allows the VW Golf SportWagen to get every drop of its EPA-estimated 27/36/31 city/highway/combined MPG.1</p> <p>The interior offers 94.3 cubic feet of space that’s perfect for five passengers—or a few boards in back. The VW Golf SportWagen includes 30.4 cubic feet of cargo volume, which can expand to 66.5 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded.</p> <h2>Volkswagen Tiguan</h2> <p>If you’re looking to get a little higher off the ground and even expand your cargo space, you may want to consider an SUV like the VW Tiguan. This vehicle includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged/intercooled 4-cylinder engine that can produce 184 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque while achieving an EPA-estimated 22/29/25 city/highway/combined MPG.2</p> <p>The VW Tiguan can accommodate seven passengers over three rows of seating with 123.9 cubic feet of cabin space. The vehicle includes 33 cubic feet of cargo space in back. However, folding down the last two rows will expand the cargo area to 65.7 cubic feet.</p> <h2>Surf-Centric Volkswagen Accessories</h2> <p>Both vehicles have been considered the best cars for surfers due to their expansive cargo areas and performances that seamlessly blend power and efficiency. However, there are some helpful VW accessories that you can install to help you get more out of your trips to the beach. There are plenty of roof racks to consider where you can throw your boards up top and head to your favorite spots with your friends. You can even get a tow hitch installed, so you can bring your boards and accessories by trailering them behind your vehicle.</p> <h2>Browse Your Options & Schedule Your Test Drive</h2> <p>Now that you’ve got a bit of a stronger sense of the top surfing cars in the Volkswagen lineup, you’ll be ready to tailor your search for when it’s time to find a new set of wheels. When you’re ready, you can come see us at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore Irvine to get a closer look at these options. You can even get behind the wheel to see what they can really do on the road!</p> <p>Schedule your test drive with us at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore Irvine. We’re happy to help drivers in Irvine, Garden Grove, and San Juan Capistrano find the right car and the best VW accessories for their surfing adventures!</p> <p><sup>1</sup>29 city/37 highway mpg (2019 Golf SportWagen 1.4L, 6-speed manual transmission). EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary and depends on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition.</p> <p><sup>2</sup>22 city/29 highway mpg (2019 Tiguan 2.0L, 8-speed automatic transmission). EPA estimates. Your mileage will vary and depends on several factors, including your driving habits and vehicle condition.</p> </div><!-- end entry --> <div class="meta-below-content"><!-- open meta --> Posted in <a href="https://www.normreevesvw.com/category/new-inventory/" rel="category tag">New Inventory</a> </div><!-- close meta --> </div><!-- end post class --> </div> <!-- end .post --> </main> <div class="clearfix"></div> <div class="comments"><!-- open comments --> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/the-best-cars-for-surfers/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3><form action="https://www.normreevesvw.com/wp/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="comment-form"><p class="comment-notes"><span id="email-notes">Your email address will not be published.</span> <span class="required-field-message" aria-hidden="true">Required fields are marked <span class="required" aria-hidden="true">*</span></span></p><p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">Comment <span class="required" aria-hidden="true">*</span></label> <textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" maxlength="65525" required="required"></textarea></p><p class="comment-form-author"><label for="author">Name <span class="required" aria-hidden="true">*</span></label> <input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="" size="30" maxlength="245" required="required" /></p> <p class="comment-form-email"><label for="email">Email <span class="required" aria-hidden="true">*</span></label> <input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="" size="30" maxlength="100" aria-describedby="email-notes" required="required" /></p> <p class="comment-form-url"><label for="url">Website</label> <input id="url" name="url" type="text" value="" size="30" maxlength="200" /></p> <p class="form-submit"><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" class="submit" value="Post Comment" /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='313' id='comment_post_ID' /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' /> </p><p style="display: none;"><input type="hidden" id="akismet_comment_nonce" name="akismet_comment_nonce" value="eb86ec03a1" /></p><p style="display: none;"><input type="hidden" id="ak_js" name="ak_js" value="121"/></p></form> </div><!-- #respond --> <ul class="post-comments"><h4 class="comment-num">0 comment(s) so far on The Best Cars for Surfers</h4></ul> </div><!-- close comments --> </div> <div id="navigation-posts"> <span class="previous-posts"></span> <span class="next-posts"></span> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-4"> <ul class="sidebar vertical"><li id="text-1" class="widget widget_text"> <div class="textwidget"><div class="dealer-info"><h3>Dealership Info</h3><span class="phone-numbers"><i class="widget-subtitle-icon fa fa-phone"></i><span class="widget-subtitle">Phone Numbers:</span><ul class="hours tel-numbers"> <li class="phone-main"> <span class="line">Main:</span><span class="right "><a href ="tel:9493827050" data-phone="main">(949) 382-7050</a> </span> </li> <li class="phone-sales"> <span class="line">Sales:</span><span class="right "><a href ="tel:9493827050" data-phone="sales">(949) 382-7050</a> </span> </li> <li class="phone-service"> <span class="line">Service:</span><span class="right "><a href ="tel:9493827050" data-phone="service">(949) 382-7050</a> </span> </li> <li class="phone-parts"> <span class="line">Parts:</span><span class="right "><a href ="tel:9493827050" data-phone="parts">(949) 382-7050</a> </span> </li></ul></span><span class="hours-sales"><i class="widget-subtitle-icon fa fa-clock-o"></i><span class="widget-subtitle">Sales Hours:</span><ul class="hours"><li><span class="day">Mon -
