2012 Volkswagen Beetle 2.0T Turbo 2dr Hatchback w/Sound, Nav (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Firstly, the styling update from the "New Beetle" is great - the shape is a stylistic ode to the original Beetle and the mechanical/technological updates make this a future classic. The interior is excellent. The seats aren't as supportive as in the GTI but they are comfortable on both long and short trips. The driving position is good. The 2.0L Turbo combined with the DSG is a nice combination. There is ample storage space in the hatch and the seats lay almost flat - several large storage tubs do fit! The only downside to the stock version is weight, but the handling issues caused by the excess plumpness can be easily wrangled with the addition of a heavier sway bar @ the rear and/or some lowering springs. All in all a fun car to drive and own!

What's not to like about this car? Perfect for empty nesters. With the back seats folded down, lots of room to haul a bunch. Great looks and fantastic acceleration with the 210 hp turbo. It can easily get you in trouble. Rock out with the Fender Audio System and the sunroof open. Sharp 19" mags finish it off. Feel like a kid again!
