The Beetle is an OK car that appeals mostly to nostalgic shoppers and VW enthusiasts. It has a smooth ride and good handling composure on winding roads. It also has some user-friendly tech features. It lacks the athletic driving dynamics and impressive fuel economy and its cabin quality and technology features feel outdated compared to what the rest of the segment offers.
The VW Beetle seats four in coupe and convertible body styles. The front seats are comfortable, supportive and spacious. There are two sets of LATCH connectors in the back for installing child safety seats. This Volkswagen has an attractive cabin with a striking interior design. With more than 15 cubic feet behind the rear seats and nearly 30 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, the Beetle provides a good amount of cargo space. Some hatchbacks have more space, but this VW gives you enough room for your vacation luggage. Convertible models are skimpier on space, however, providing only 7.1 cubic feet of room.
The Beetle's cushioned ride is well-suited to highway cruising and commuting around town. This VW also has poised handling, making for a relaxed, easygoing driving experience. The Volkswagen Beetle is easy and enjoyable to drive and it rides smoothly over most road surfaces. All-wheel drive is not offered. The Beetle comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 174 horsepower. A six-speed automatic transmission comes standard as well. The engine has enough power for most driving situations, but some critics say the transmission doesn't shift with any urgency and that holds the Beetle back.
