2016 Volkswagen Beetle Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Bigger on inside than it looks. Turbo and it gets out of the way just fine. Very reliable and fun to drive. Seats are comfortable and the seat warmer is awesome. I feel great driving a bug. The backseat is plenty big and comfortable. Trunk is big and it is very easy to maneuver.

I love the look of my beetle because I like how the style of beetles are different than the average car. I like that the car is small because I normally drive by myself, but it can fit car seats and luggage. I wish the model came in more colors than white, brown, black, and red because when I think of VW beetles, I think of their uniqueness and those colors are kind of boring. The car is very comfortable, through the front seat belts are a bit awkward at first because they are far back compared to other cars. I love the touch screen and app feature the car offers, makes drives easier to be off your phone and gives you many more options. I have not had any problems with my car yet, the car seems to have been built very well. The car runs really nicely, it speeds up pretty quickly. I previously drove a beamer and in my opinion they are both fun to drive. Having the sport option on the beetle is nice for extra fun and to let you keep a better mpg by not having to be in that mode. The mpg is amazing, I get about 25 around town which includes many hills. I had this car when I started college and so I could not drive it consistently for a year. During this period the brakes did get a bit wonky and needed to be broken in again for a day or two. I also love the heated seats feature, I use it all the time. I like how there are three levels of heat to choose from. On the steering wheel are buttons to control the volume, station, speak to the car feature, and control the settings on the driver’s dash (mpg, mph, song/station, time, language, ect). I also like how there is a setting to have the lights on automatically, just one less thing to have to think about. And there is a setting to turn on your windshield wipers to sense the amount of rain so you are not stuck with the three programmed speeds. I honestly love this car and there is not much to complain about. The trunk is a bit on the small side, but has more room than I expected. I can fit a large suitcase in the back and a small box on top and there are back seats if you need more room. I like how the trunk has a covering/self you can hang from inside so people cannot see into your trunk, but it is removable. The seats are also all bucket style seats which is amazing because it allows them to be deeper. I have had people 6 foot sit back there comfortable, but any taller may be pushing it. M.
