I have a 2013 Beetle 2.0T convertible. I love it but it needed a couple mods. I gave it an APR ECU and TCU tune to give it great power and to be able to keep it in the power range (272 HP, 298 torque). I also gave it a sport suspension w/ H&R springs and Koni Yellows. It's very sporty if you are willing to put a little money into it. Important to mention is you can raise and lower the top while driving up to 30 mph! Thank you for the review! I'll be sad if they stop making these great cars.

I don't see the "infotainment" system as a con. Some people only want a (relatively) simple head unit that'll play their preferred choice of music media, not a big distracting system that demands way too much driver attention to perform even the simplest tasks.

I had a 1968 red beetle it was fantastic only had a a.m. radio in it but I always carried for fan belts because they broke and you had to replace them under the engine was in the back of the car and only took about 10 minutes what happened was Jetta took over the beetle that's why they don't sell them anymore but this green one is just fantastic if I could find one I would definitely buy it 🇩🇪💯👍

You're right Sarah,..that color is beautiful, at least in the bright sun. The top and interior color of tan, is also a good match. To me though, it seems that Volkswagen has kind of, lost their way, with the idea of the VW Beetle, and that's a pity. In my opinion, they ( VW ) should still offer the manual shift option and as well, they should have stayed with rear engine and drive system too.

Nice review! A lady down the street had (I haven’t seen it in a few months) a beetle hardtop in red with the 2.0 liter, manual with the spoiler. I think the trim was the R-Line. Probably a 2014 or 15. Every time I’d drive past that car I’d be struck by how much I liked it. My wife seriously thought about buying one. She ended up with a Jetta GLI but I did get to test drive the Beetle. I think you hit the nail on the head. Puts a smile on your face.

No need to sound so apologetic for liking the car. VW's are made for people who love Volkswagons and nobody else.

PS you can fit a 90h.p. Merc outboard in the rear with the seat down. MPG 32 and the road salt resistance is 5x better than anything Japanese. Nice review.

It's an okay review, with a few weird things I cant help but point out. First, Sarah said that the car gets pretty good mpg for a turbo car, but the car is turbo'd for economy! That's the whole point of this turbo! Next, they should move it to the Porsche Boxster platform to make it rear engine, the Boxster is mid-engine. I mean, the 718 does use a flat 4 cylinder, maybe she meant they should use the engine from the 718. But she said platform. Keep improving Sarah, I'm sure you'll be a great automotive journalist. These are small issues really.

Sometimes the TDI is considered a "niche" product and I've venture to guess that is one reason there is such a 'unique crowd of members'. Where else can you say economy, and performance in the same sentence? With this economy, one can also get great range, too." Again, Thank you, Sarah! Cheers! 😊✌🏼❤️

I have a 2014 Beetle and a Porsche 911. She is wrong about the Beetle's handling, because it handles extremely well ( It is based on the Golf's platform after all). The coup particularly has a very cool Porsche look to it, it's low and wide and if you put on the Heritage style wheel, you will have a very nice retro styled car that is reliable and fun. The interior is best in class as well with plenty of room and lots of storage. Here is your best bet: Get a 2014 model with the last of the five cylinder engine (no turbo) with about 30K miles. Try to find one with heritage wheels and no rear spoiler (looks much better without it) You can pick one up for around 12K or less and if you buy it from a VW dealer they will give you a full two-year warranty on it backed by Volkswagen. Even though I love my 911, the truth is the Beetle is the more fun car to drive. Check out how cool this one looks: randum.info/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/2012VWBEETLE_2.jpg

I would definitely love a hotter performance variant of the Beetle but I also know I'm never going to buy one lol. I might actually take the Transit over one of these just because I like having space for me and stuff but that's not to say this isn't a massively fun car to drive.
