Why the 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle?

Exterior styling

Unique retro styling that reminds you of the Beetles of yesteryear, but is fresh, even after being on the market for 10 years. It stands out in the crowd!

Powertrain performance

Excellent and smooth Tiptronic 6 speed automatic transmission. Like that you have a "sport" mode, which holds the transmission shift point, and you also have the "manual" shifting mode, which is great when driving the back country roads.

Handling

Very balanced, tight suspension, tight steering, and excellent brakes. The car is very well balanced and has responsive driver feedback.

Materials & workmanship

Car is well assembled with quality materials and workmanship. The vinyl seats are actually of a quite high grade material and actually look and feel close to real leather. The convertible top is tight fitting, well finished on the inside, and quite.
