Super TestCar reviews - Volkswagen - Beetle - 2.0 Ikon 3-dr hatchVolkswagen modelsTransmission15 Feb 2001 By BRUCE NEWTON THE Beetle's transmissions are, once again, taken straight from the VW Golf so there are no surprises or special innovations. The optional auto has an intelligent dynamic shift program (DSP) with fuzzy logic that adapts to the driving habits of the individual driver and learns to shift at the appropriate times. It also recognises changes in terrain, such as when the car is driving uphill, and adjusts gear selection accordingly. The standard transmission is a five-speed manual. An electronic differential lock to give improved traction in slippery conditions is also par for the course. Did you know?Sixteen-inch wheels were adopted to maintain proportions close to those of the original BeetleAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
