    I LOVE this car! It is sporty and so fun to drive. There is no other car I would rather have. I’m going to drive it until the wheels fall off.

      Yes I have the 2012 beetle turbo in black it's a great looking car. If you buy a beetle you have to get the R line or equivalent 2012 turbo they are the best looking beetles of the current generation.

      Don’t be. They didn’t even use the beetle Dune model to do jumps. 😂 AND It’s not even a turbo model. Lol easy 7.5 or 8 ifs they used the 2.0t dsg or manual. Even the interior is slightly better because of the of the interior gauges.

Leave out the back seats, put in a half roll cage and market the go fast set. Maybe call it the 2•0 RS. Yes I am a Beetle tragic!

      People say that all the time because the first generation new Beetle had the flower vase. Ever since then people say it's feminine. However if you look at the car it's nothing feminine about it with the low roof line, fat tires and huge spoiler in the back it looks rather aggressive especially in black and silver. It has the similar silhouette to the 911 but a bit rounder but nothing but men drive Porsche. People just copy each other an keep repeating the same old thing enough so that they totally destroy the reputation of vehicle.
