| 2002 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 90hp 1.9L I4 Diesel 5-speed manual FWD |
Plenty of headroom for a 6 ft. plus frame, and more leg room than I can use. see full Volkswagen New Beetle review |

We had the leather seats and they too remained in excellent condition and comfortable, though very little support provided. see full Volkswagen New Beetle review |

Tall people can NOT sit in the back seat. If you go around a turn they bump their heads on the side of the vehicle see full Volkswagen New Beetle review |

Oh, there is a seat there? I thought that was the hamster roost. Very limited seating in back - suitable for small children. Rear seats do not recline at all, so posture is quite erect. see full Volkswagen New Beetle review |
