Super TestCar reviews - Volkswagen - Beetle - 2.0 Ikon 3-dr hatchVolkswagen modelsOther OpinionsOn the road the Beetle is no better and perhaps a smidge below the Golf in terms of dynamics. However, for many the driving experience will be very much a secondary consideration. It will be judged on its visual appeal and there can be no argument that VW has got that part just right It would be futile to suggest that the New Beetle is a better or worse car than comparably priced hatches, because no-one who buys it will be interested in such a comparison Women smile, kids point, gnarly truck drivers wave and grin. This car strikes an extraordinary emotional chord. Left-brain critics will tell you it's just a Golf in drag. They don't get it. This is a feel-good statement, but if you just have to own one, then wait a few months for the hype to cool. The first 500 cars are spoken for, but there are 1,500 more on the way Did you know?VW embarked on an ambitious marketing program with the New Beetle, inviting viewers of prototypes at motor shows around the world to lodge expressions of interest in buying the carAll 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 |
