I just bought a 2015 convertible turbo! Love it and even got flower power license plate frames. Wanted a VW convertible when I first started to drive in 1969...but couldn't afford $2500. I finally got one when I am about to turn 71! You can't compare the Beetle to Golf or other VW...it is and always was unique. You buy one because you want it as a fan! I find it meets all my needs. Never give up your dreams! Lovin' it with the top down in El Paso, where the sun always shines and almost warm every day! 🏜

I never pictured myself driving of all things a VW Beetle. However I won a 2016 Beetle TS and my initial thought was that I'd sell it. However after driving it I discovered it handles very well, has plenty of power, while it'll never be confused as a muscle car it's a fun car to drive. Easily into highway traffic.plus it's a surprisingly quite and smooth ride. I average over 30mpg and that isn't because I'm a conservative driver. I like to get where I'm going and it easily navigates in and around traffic. I've kept the car and I've no regrets, I purchased the 5 year maintenance plan (highly recommended) covers oil changes and the first transmission service. I've had no problems with this car and feel it's very reliable. It's a two person car as the back seat is better suited for jackets and the like than it is for passengers. The front offers plenty of room for two people I'm 5'8" 190 and a friend of mine is 6'3" weighs 250 and we can ride comfortably. Plenty of head space and shoulder space provided no one try's to rest their arm on the center console...I've gotta be able to spread out a little. Plus it's not the ridiculous beetle of the early 2000's with the flower holder crap in it. So if you're ok with a two person car that doesn't break the bank, I'd recommend going and driving one.

Alex, I enjoy your reviews, but I have one suggestion. When you show the "ruler" with the relative lengths of various vehicles, it would be helpful to have actual measurements so we can see what the true differences in length are between the various competitive vehicles and the subject vehicle. Right now, you just show that one is longer or shorter, but without the ability to determine if that difference is really meaningful or not. However, keep up the great work!

Great review, and I think it is fair too. Where we might differ is room. I'm 6'3" and tried a lot of small cars before deciding on the Beetle. There was not one small car I felt more comfortable in, including the Mini, than the Beetle. I am a hockey goalie, so storage was important to me as well. I live in Chicago, so I needed a small car that could not only carry my goalie gear, but a fellow player's as well- all while being small enough to park in the city. The Beetle delivered. A lot of my fellow players have SUVS that get them not much more storage than my Beetle. All I have to do is fold down the back seats and I've got tons of space for hockey gear. I have been able to take my gear, along with another player's (with luggage) to out of town tournaments. That made the Beetle my perfect choice. It's a great car, and the looks don't hurt either. I get random compliments on mine all the time.

Alex, you said Beetle is about style, not practicality, because if one wanted practical, one would buy a Golf. Perhaps, but there is one difference in favor of Beetle - driver room. At least the last Beetle I drove (previous model), it was significantly roomier up front for me - 6'3" (190 cm), long legs, than Golf. This could be due to less intrusive center console.

mountainhobo Vs the current Golf the current Beetle has one inch less front headroom but one inch more rear headroom than before. It also has about four inches more rear legroom. I found the interior to be a bit more snug in some ways than the last generation new Beetle.

Guess the real point here is, yes, as just a hard top, the Bug is not the best all around. However, when looking for the ever smaller number of fun small convertibles that offer a rear seat...this is a big choice. If I were in need of such a fun little convertible for running around the summer in, this would be the only choice for the price.

Glad to see the TDI is still available; locally diesel is about 5 - 10 cents less than regular unleaded. With the higher fuel economy the TDI offers, this makes for a very appealing option.

E. L. I’ve got a 2014 beetle r line (gsr) with 40k miles on it, and not a single check engine light or problem so far. Their more recent cars are much much better and more reliable, especially post-dieselgate. So if you’re in the market, almost anything since 2013, and especially anything on their new mqb platform (Jetta, atlas, golf, Tiguan, Passat, etc) are great cars, and they’re cheaper than competitors, since they need to rebuild brand reputation in the states.

I do believe though if one party is neutral, and the other party has valid reason for one format, It should be that way. For those that don't understand the american grading system, it goes: A+,A,A-,B+,B,B-,C+,C,C-,D+,D,D-,F+,F, and F-. A+ being the best and F- being the worst in that order.

Greivin Mena If one was wanting to convert letter grades to a scale from 1 to 10, then C is in the middle representing 5, with A+ being 10 and F- would be zero. So a B- would be between 7.5 and 8 out of 10. call it approximately 7.75. The way american schools denote the grade is; > 90% is an A, 80%-89% is a B, 70%-79% is a C, 60%-69% is a D and < 59% is an F, however that does not apply well to this situation.

Leased a 2004 tdi for the fuel economy. Loved the fuel economy. Diesel fuel always higher than gas. Injection pump failed 500 miles away from the nearest dealer. Real nice tow bill on that one. Check engine light on quite a bit. Electrical problems. Brake booster locked up brakes without being applied. ON AND ON AND ON WITH SMALL PROBLEMS. JUNK! Berg VW in Gilbert AZ was a ripoff joint.

I feel like this is a chic car, but I also feel that there should be WAY more chic cars on the market. Chics buy half the cars; they should be better catered to. If you were a chic, it's the Bug, the Mini, and the Fiat and that's about it. Chics end up buying Civics and Foresters. Seems like a huge untapped market. Why have badge engineering when you could have genital engineering!

Alex, I enjoy your reviews, but I have one suggestion. When you show the "ruler" with the relative lengths of various vehicles, it would be helpful to have actual measurements so we can see what the true differences in length are between the various competitive vehicles and the subject vehicle. Right now, you just show that one is longer or shorter, but without the ability to determine if that difference is really meaningful or not. However, keep up the great work!

6 years later you still think so? Just wondering because I have been looking into a beetle as my first car. I'm 15
I feel like this is a chic car, but I also feel that there should be WAY more chic cars on the market. Chics buy half the cars; they should be better catered to. If you were a chic, it's the Bug, the Mini, and the Fiat and that's about it. Chics end up buying Civics and Foresters. Seems like a huge untapped market. Why have badge engineering when you could have genital engineering!

It is only your perception. Cars are genderless.
