Really great presentation, you have got me thinking about getting another VW, my last was in 1969. I have not seen another video tour as complete as this without the usual BS, again, great job
This is the best any car review I saw in my life actually this guy is pro I wish I could buy my beetle through this guy but unfortunately I live new jersy
absolutely, everything is explained in such a detail I’m sure my local distributors in Hong Kong wouldn’t be able to do. Pity I can’t upgrade my existing 09 Beetle to this one like a software upgrade! =)
Very well done review, thorough explanation of standard features with the Turbo. Just looked at one last wk, when getting old Jetta repaired, and find all the Beetle brochures a little confusing, as far as what is standard.
I want your job. One of the most top notch video reviews for a vehicle. You seem extremely enthusiastic about your job and the cars you sell. I don't blame you... its a Volkswagen ;)
LIKE I SAID ON YOU PASSAT REVIEW YOU HAVE DONE A EXCELLENT JOB I HAVE BEEN TO A AUTOMOTIVE MARKETING SCHOOL SO I KNOW HOW A CAR SHOULD BE PRESENTED I GIVE YOU A + I REALLY LIKE THAT THEY PUT THE ENGINE TEMP IN THE MFI THE OLD BEETLE DID NOT HAVE A TEMP GAUGE AND IT SEEMS TO READ REAL TIME NOT LIKE THE MK4 OR MK5 JETTA OR GOLF THE TEMP GAUGE WOULD NO MOVE MUCH FROM NORMAL TEMP. IT IS EASY TO SEE IF YOU THERMOSTAT IS WORKING OK I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE HOLE DASH AND CLUSTER AND LIKE THAT YOU CAN
@njmtbiker Thanks. I love the sunroof version. I have to say they have had some supply problems with the sunroof manufacturer, but hopefully we will see more of them soon.
very good review. very in depth compared to others out there. It looks like its going to to be a 12 Beetle Turbo with nav and sunroof, although i hear the sunroof doesnt go all the way back, or a Golf TDI with Tech Pkg. keep up the good work.
Great review, but forgets to say one thing ... I bought one of these cars a month ago, and we have to say that all these cars suffer from a problem! The windows are ALL DEFECTIVE! When you try to close them, often turn down alone, and we must insist on shut them down! At the time VW has not yet solutions to this problem! My beetle has also defective in self-closing door mirrors, luckily under warranty! For the rest of the car is beautiful and it works great,SEE THE VIDEO "Falla VW Beetle 2012"
ORDER NICE OPTIONS ON THE BASE ENGINE CARS AND KEEP IT BASIC ON THE TURBO MODEL IF YOU'RE THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT LIKE TO SPEND MORE ON ENGINE AND TRANS THAN ELECTRONIC GADGETS IT GIVES MORE CHOICE AND I LIKE THE CARBON FIBER LOOK LEATHER ON THE SEATS AND I LIKE THAT IS IS MORE MACHO MEANING A GUY OR WOMEN WILL LIKE IT AND IT WILL COME WITH THE EXCELLENT TDI ENGINE.I THINK THEY WILL SELL MUCH MORE OF THEM COMPARE TO THE LAST MODEL. ANY WAY MAKE MORE VIDEO OF DIFFERENT MODELS IT IS A REALLY GOOD
Hi there Richard. I have the 2012 Beetle that I call the Retro edition due to the two tone interior and I have the retro looking hubcaps on the wheels. It also has the moon roof. I bought it used last year and I notice the roof does not open all the way. It slides back about 2/3 of the opening, if that makes sense. Is that normal? Should it slide all the way open?
bigmamakaboose it is normal for the moon roof to open no further than 2 / 3's of the opening. If the glass panel opened further the hatch would come in contact with the moon roof when both are open.
Richard McAllister Thanks so much for quick response! Ok, that makes sense. My Integra moon roof opens all the way so I just wanted to make sure there wasn't an issue that needed fixing being that I bought it used.
Im 15 but i want a 2012 and some of them doesnt have a arm rest and i love the 2012 since its in my moms budget which of the 2012 beetles have a arm rest so i can know when i ask the dealer
Riana Lawson The base model is the only one that doesn't come with an armrest. The armrest can be purchased from the dealer's parts department and added later if you find a car you like and it doesn't include it.
Great video! I wish all VW salesmen were this knowledgeable about the product they are selling. I feel when I go there I know more than them about the vehicle!
Now THAT is a review. Thanks for taking the time to give us so much useful information. I almost feel I could buy a new beetle based on your review alone. However I should drive one first. :)
I can't thank you enough for this video!!! I test drove one today and was on the fence but now I'm sold! You showed me all the cool features my dealership did not. I wish you were in North Carolina because you would certainly get my business. Thanks again!
It's proving to be very popular with guys, as opposed to the previous version. You would be in good company. We now have four of our male employees driving them at the dealership. :)
@ce20101 Sometimes we get cars that are meant for other markets. Being so close to the factory, they sometimes send us incorrect items. The small headrests are european spec.
The S ins TSI stands for "stratified" not straight ;). It means that that the mixture of the directly injected fuel and the air can also be stratified before its ignited.
That was one of the best informative reviews I have ever seen, by the way I'm buying this car in couple of days!

The best and most thorough tour of any car. Congratulation Me McAllister. For a job well done. If I lived in California I'd buy a car from you.

I recently acquired a Beetle with sunroof of my own.
It doesn't open very widely but the size of the glass more than makes up for it.
Richard you are incredible!
Best review I've ever seen anyone do.. Thanks much!

This is a very detail video. Thanks so much, I am even more excited to get my 2012 Beetle.

tankyou Richard I work in VW puebla i like your feature tour!
@YvesDeSwert Thank you for your kind comments.
@V10PDTDI Thanks very much. I look forward to making more videos of more models. Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

@Kbrusky15 I definitely love these cars. Thank you for your comment. It helps keep me going. :)
Thank you! I hear that from a lot of people. :)
@musicdiver007 Thank you for watching.
greatest review ever of this car :DD
great review, very detail oriented. but i feel that VW is trying desperately to compete in 2012 with my 2008 Mini Cooper
Can u please tell me which ones have arm rests for the 2012 beetle
And I'm sure you enjoyed the drive more, also. :)
Good Review.
Thank you so much for this video! This made my day! I'm ready to go out and get one... My wallet just isn't. :(
For music to match my every mood! :D
You will LOVE it!

too bad the turbo gets the nice shade of blue.... I already have a 2.0T Passat (6MT of course)... guess I'll eventually eye out a black 2.5 5MT....
GREEK SONG IN THE IPOD! :D
nice car
:) thanks!
9:56 ... GREECE IS EVERYWHERE
nice carrrrrrrrrrrr
9:55 haha that's a greek song :D
Great video! I wish all VW salesmen were this knowledgeable about the product they are selling. I feel when I go there I know more than them about the vehicle!
Now THAT is a review. Thanks for taking the time to give us so much useful information. I almost feel I could buy a new beetle based on your review alone. However I should drive one first. :)
Thank you so much for this review, it has made me 10 times more confident about purchasing my new beetle sport tomorrow :)
I can't thank you enough for this video!!! I test drove one today and was on the fence but now I'm sold! You showed me all the cool features my dealership did not. I wish you were in North Carolina because you would certainly get my business. Thanks again!
I went for the regular 2.5 myself so that I could get the sunroof, sound and nav.
The turbo would also get me in trouble. :)
Thank you for building such wonderful cars!
It's proving to be very popular with guys, as opposed to the previous version.
You would be in good company.
We now have four of our male employees driving them at the dealership. :)
I would like for you to come to my house & explain life to me. You explain everything perfectly with enthusiasm.
Great video, was very helpful in deciding to get a beetle.
Thank you very much for this review. Excellent review and a great tour of a great car!
@ce20101 Sometimes we get cars that are meant for other markets. Being so close to the factory, they sometimes send us incorrect items. The small headrests are european spec.
@VWBeetles2 I often felt that way myself before I began selling cars. I like to think of myself as a tour guide rather than a salesman. :)
@CyberbeetleDriver Thank you for your kind words. I hope you enjoy the videos that are still forthcoming.
@iorshkee I'm glad you enjoyed it. I will be continuing to do more of these. Thank you for your comment!
@GrubGripe I like them, too. I am finding a lot of people feel the same as you.
Hey! Any chances you can make a new video about the Sunroof? I heard that for being so big it opens veeeeery little. Everything Else was Awesome!!!!
The S ins TSI stands for "stratified" not straight ;). It means that that the mixture of the directly injected fuel and the air can also be stratified before its ignited.
did the manufacturer fixed the window problem on 2012 model.....hopefully they got rid all of the glitches in 2013 model....thanks for the video,,,,
I think they are trying to give them a run for their money. :)
At last, a nice tour around a beetle :D Thank you very much I love the way you describe e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Make more videos of the other car's.
@Furbaby87 Thank you very much. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@ehsaanqadri1 I wish you could, also. :)
European newBeetle has a 4inch touch screen in basic equipment .. :D
Great video! you really explained every detail. thanks and KUDOS!
You look like the host of MythBusters Adam Savage. :)
Excellent! Thank you!
Agreed. Thank you!
Great video, very good work !
