These are great little cars. In Australia they come with a 1.4L Supercharged + Turbocharged engine, and they rip along nicely. Pretty good handling. Build quality is also pretty good. I've got a 2014 model and it always makes me smile when I get in and start it up. For long distance stuff I've got a E-Class, but I use the Beetle as a 'town car' and it's perfect.

They’re actually available with a 1.2 L engine a 1.4 L engine a 1.8 L engine a 2.0 L engine and a 2.5 L engine personally I recommend the 1.8 L engine and the 2.0 L engine and the 2.5 L engine, and if you have the 1.2 L engine or the 1.4 L engine and you like it that’s great but those are underpowered in my opinion but again if you like those ones that’s great.

I've been in the business professionaly for getting on 40 years, so bought and sold more than my fair share of Beetles ( in all guises ) All of that Beetle bashing Is fine providing you make clear this is " just your opinion" the 1998 Beetle arriving here in UK in the spring of 2000, allegedly on the W reg plate and usually in Jade green metallic or Sun yellow ( although such was demand many people bought left hand drives ones just to say they owned one ) it proved an instant hit, and considering it was built on the legendary VW Golf platform it actually drove rather well indeed, people loved it when they could finally get there hands on one, and far from not fitting in the current VW line up it enhanced it ! .... in fact for much of the early to mid 2000's you couldn't get cheap beetles in the used car market for love nor money, more so if they were TDi's or rare as hens teeth high spec V5's ... yes, they had their faults, window regulators failed often, dashboards could light up like Christmas trees's ( show me a VAG car from this period that doesn't) and because of that feeling you mention of the car appearing large from the inside, body sills were very prone to getting damaged and squashed on a regular basis... BUT ... VW sold loads, and posh girls were indeed able to transport their bejeweled yappers in comfort, some even had the desirable and much sought after sunroof, and that's before we even touch on the convertible, the auto box versions were practically bulletproof, and the vase feature ( although silly and a pure design add on ) was also itself much missed if it happened to not be present when you sold one. The 2012 model is a different beast altogether, better built, more environmentally sound, and yes I'd agree, better looking in some respects, but to dismiss the retro Beetle it replaced as an awful or terrible car is to do it an injustice, it was, and remains one of the most recognizable pieces of automotive design at a time when the world went retro in a big way, paving the way for the likes of the Fiat 500 and BMW Mini etc: ......Mark Anthony, August 2020.

My first 3rd generation, a 2013 black Diesel-powered beast, giving me 42 to 48 miles per gallon, totaled in 2021, my second 3rd generation was a 2013 white Diesel-powered convertable. I lost it in December of last year. I now have a 2014 Eos.

@allosaurusfragilis7782 3 жыл бұрын

I had an original beetle back in the 70s. It did have character and made a good noise but the handling was a bit tail happy, for a young man and it wasnt very comfortable. You were squashed inside it and it took forever to get any warm air into the cabin, so you were always wiping the screen. But people loved them, which is why they made so many i suppose. Mine was pretty rusty too. Not driven a new one but i dont mind this model. Totally agree about the previous gen. good vid.

I looked at those kids and I said yes it is absolutely a slug bug, and then he punched his brother in the shoulder which brought so much joy to my face because they recognized my car immediately and did exactly what me and my brother would do and that’s so adorable, and so endearing to know that this beetle carries on the legacy of slug bug punch him in the shoulder.

The original Beetle went to the mid '70's, followed by the Super Beetle (curved windscreen). New Beetle came in 2000 and the final version you're driving in 2012. One of the most unusual versions was the 2013 Fender edition that featured a killer sound system and a dash done in the sunburst guitar pattern....very rare and now sought after - selling for around $10kUS

I have a 1.2 tsi manual shift. Bought in 2013, is still brand new, perfect, very silent also after 140.000km... Ok, some interventions during the years, changed injectors, changed chain, the rest only normal maintenance, the general quality is good. Maybe it depends how people preserve the cars, mine always in garage, all regular checks as written in the manuals. Not sure if worth the more powerful engines, as you have more noise and for sure more consumes... I think that is a very nice car to do some travel in couple. If you pretend to have a sport car maybe is better to go to another model. Ok, there is the 2.0 benzin version, but, the it remains quite big, heavy, big steering wheel and 4 seats... so... no, for performance drive better another models (Porsche? If you like classic design), leave the Beetle to who like to drive in relax, quite comfortable and have a car a bit different from all the other ones. My honest opinion. :)
