Volkswagen Beetles are awesome. That Dune trim level is especially fantastic. I love how it has the gold exterior with the gold dashboard. The interior does match the exterior.
Part of me says, "Yeah, I really dig this thing..." and the other part says, "Turn in your man card if you get one..." Hahaha... I used to own a 1964 Beetle. It really brings back the days... It looks better than ever, I think. Nice video, too.
That might be true for the "new Beetle" that preceeded this gen, but I think the restyling made it a Beetle for anyone. I mean there is no longer a holder for the optional interior flower vase haha😂
Saabkyle04 thank you i think it should be a standard feature due to it being out for over a decade now it taking certain auto companies so long to catch up to its competition
The 2018 Dune is so much better. It gets the 2.0T instead of the 1.8T so it pulls much more and it also gets nicer headlights and new looking climate controls. It also has more features. When I went to go buy mine, they had a 2017 1.8T Dune convertible in stock but I wanted to pay the extra money to get a brand new 2018 2.0T. It’s a much better engine for this vehicle. And for 2018, everything comes standard on the Dune. No packages.
Antonio Zamudio I’ve had it for 2 years now and I just hit 18k miles. The only interior noises is a door rattle when playing music which I’ll be getting fixed free of cost. And the only major problem I’ve had was window issues where the switches arent always responsive and won’t go up. It doesn’t always happen. We also got the Infotainment system replaced under warranty since it was defective. I think it’s a great car and the transmission is also great because it’s not the DSG.
in the uk the Beetle Dune is available with a 6speed manual and 7 speed dsg, no torque converter auto available , it also have two engine options rather then 1, the 1.2L and a 2.0L
awesome content kyle, I've been a sub for quite a few years on different accounts because I forget passwords and change phones, thanks for the years of entertainment!!
I had a 2012 Beetle 2.0T and when I went to trade it in for a dune convertible, it only had the 1.8T which I didn’t like. I waited another year and I got my 2.0T
You and your people are doing a first class job, keep it up. It would be interesting to compare and contrast the Beetle and the Mini. The prices quoted are in USD I assume and that makes the Dune an expensive Beetle in Canada when fully equipped.
Hey Kyle, so videos and pictures aren't as reliable for the eyes, but since you've seen it in person, would you say it's more like a gold, mustard, or sun-like color?
Regular fuel on a turbo? I guess thats why many of them start to break. I believe that even though, it has a CR of less than 10, you still have compressed air from the turbo, which adds pressure, even though its cooled by the intercooler. Id go on the safe side and put premium on it.
There is zero reason to waste money on premium fuel for a car designed to run on regular octane. Literally the only thing you're getting with high octane fuel is less chance of engine knock on high compression engines. Engineering prowess and a good ECU computer take care of that just fine. Of course it wont hurt anything to run premium on this engine, but you wont get any extra performance...just a lighter wallet.
@@hakeemsd70m Only if the manufacturer specifies "premium fuel only" on the fuel door or gas cap. Cars that say "premium fuel reccomended" means you can safely run regular but may have reduced performance.
2dfx my 2012 beetle turbo had the 2.0T with 200 HP instead of the little 1.8T with only 170 HP. I also had the 6 speed manual. I wanted to trade mine in for the Dune convertible and in 2018, that’s when they brought back the 2.0T but still no manual and not enough horsepower but when I test drove it, I really liked the automatic and the power is surprisingly enough. As long as I had the fender premium audio system standard, I buy and I did buy it and I don’t regret it.
Thanks for replying to me a while back. I was looking through my reply history and it made me happy to have a TH-camr reply to me. So I just wanted to say thanks. :D
MY EYES! THEY MADE IT EVEN UGLIER!!! VOLKSWAGEN, FIRST YOU KILLED MY TDI AND NOW YOU BURN MY EYES!!! As you can see, I loved my A7 TDI before Dieselgate happened.
Looking like SUV, 2-3 centimeter higher suspension, lots of black plastic, and of course lack of 4WD. I like modern city SUVs, but this Volkswagen is simply not looking so good. Anyway, great video Kyle!
Saabkyle04 Well, VW Beetle is a car that has to look good at first, like Mini or Fiat 500. Although there is a 4WD offroad car in this class - Fiat Panda Cross. But I don't think that it's available in the USA...
Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of compact 4WD vehicles in this class here, aside from the Golf R and Focus RS, but those aren't for off roading XD
5.5L / 100km for the Base Beetle Dune Model here in Europe with the 1.2l TSI Blue Motion. This specific tested Model here with the Automatic is not offering in Europe, so i don't know.
Ok i check this model. The US Base Version: 9.1L / 100km on Highway and 11.8L / 100km in City. WOW ... US still seems not bothering over Fuel Economy. Nobody in Europe would buy this model.
You know what't the best-selling car in the USA by far? The Ford F-Series pickup. They guzzle at least like 14 liters per 100 km. But to fill up their 136 liter gas tank costs maybe, i dunno, the equivalent of 50-70 EUR in the US? So nobody cares too much...

I really love the design of the new Beatles....not too girly
NiNi ChO I agree
NiNi ChO Ha, according to you!
his opnion you have other luck you have i like am not against either for nice beetle
NiNi ChO
i cant say the same about you :D
Nintendó P 🙃
I don't know why but I'm kind of digging that color
i love the beetle! i'm saving for it :) i'm 15 now and hop to have it when i'm older
christof nice! Good luck man
christof nice ! how do you like the golfs?
You 20 now bro
Seems like you either love it or you hate it..
Well guys, I think I'm in love..
Cho me too
Part of me says, "Yeah, I really dig this thing..." and the other part says, "Turn in your man card if you get one..." Hahaha... I used to own a 1964 Beetle. It really brings back the days... It looks better than ever, I think. Nice video, too.
😂😂 turn in your man card. I grind welds all day, i work in a steel mill and building a 360 for my 98 ram.
That might be true for the "new Beetle" that preceeded this gen, but I think the restyling made it a Beetle for anyone. I mean there is no longer a holder for the optional interior flower vase haha😂
@@jbm0866 - Hahaha... exactly.... Cheers!
I used to own a VW polo Dune edition, loved the car! So unique
fake channel uploading your content called saabsky04
he uploaded very recently
Thank you! It's being handled now.
i am Puga RIP😂
What?
enjoy it
Best car reviews channel ever !
Thank you!!
Saabkyle04 how come it comes with a key and not a push start like all new cars
Keyless ignition is an optional feature, I talked about it in the video :)
Saabkyle04 thank you i think it should be a standard feature due to it being out for over a decade now it taking certain auto companies so long to catch up to its competition
Wow! Gold! What Limited Edition!
I hear its a great first car especially the 2015-2017 models also i see a lot of these not the dune but the base model at my high school
Why do VWs come in the USA with a standard 6-speed automatic instead of the traditional 6 or 7-speed DSG like in Europe?
Those Volkswagen beetles are adorable :)

Definitely a nicer shape then previous beetles
Nice! I remember, my Mom bought some Merch from you, and I wrote a little note to you saying how excited I was for you to upload this :P
Awesome VW! Very professional camera work! Nice!
And that is one terrific VW Beetle Dune Car
That is the best color on a car I’ve seen
Your videos keep getting better and better!
11:06 That backup camera is totally not going to work during winter with your car coated in hard ice.
I do love a super large precise fuel gauge...
in the uk the Beetle Dune is available with a 6speed manual and 7 speed dsg, no torque converter auto available , it also have two engine options rather then 1, the 1.2L and a 2.0L
Why don't you put the price in the description anymore?
Because I talk about it in the video now.
Considering the price, this beetle deserves the latest version of the 2.0 TSI engine and DSG 7-speed gearbox.
that is the most mustard like color i have ever seen
It's beautiful in person!
I hated the color at first, now I love it.
$25,000!!! hmm,I wonder what other cars I can get for that price.
Everyone has different tastes and desires. This will appeal to those wanting something cool and unique, I loved it!
Saabkyle04 for sure,I have never in my wildest dreams ever thought of a beetle as a daily driver.But what do I know I drive a Prius 😀
its been a while since the Volkswagen never show in road. but this one have bang👑🚕😍
This is such a fun little car! It’s so European!
When are you gonna feature the new panamera
Thank you for all the info! I'm looking for a new car, and trading in my 2007 GLI. The Beetle Dune is probably my top choice!
Taillight looks like Porsche tho !
you know absolutely nothing about the Beetle's history tho
lol
Gee, it's almost as if Volkswagen and Porsche are part of the same company...
awesome content kyle, I've been a sub for quite a few years on different accounts because I forget passwords and change phones, thanks for the years of entertainment!!
I had a 2012 Beetle 2.0T and when I went to trade it in for a dune convertible, it only had the 1.8T which I didn’t like. I waited another year and I got my 2.0T
I love watching all of your reviews. I hope that one day I will be able to meet you in person, and shake your hand. Peace from Canada.
Amazing video!!! Since I want to buy a Volkswagen Beetle for my first car should I buy a old year Volkswagen Beetle or a new year Volkswagen Beetle?
You and your people are doing a first class job, keep it up. It would be interesting to compare and contrast the Beetle and the Mini. The prices quoted are in USD I assume and that makes the Dune an expensive Beetle in Canada when fully equipped.
Can you do a review on a Porsche 911 Carrera S?
Given that I've had a beetle before, does it have more leg room than the prior generation (2000-2010) ?
I love Volkswagen beetles their cute and little
This is one good looking beetle
Can you do the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS63 AMG please
Well that is a very unique vehicle.
I would bought it for my gf.. girly character ❤️
Hey Kyle, so videos and pictures aren't as reliable for the eyes, but since you've seen it in person, would you say it's more like a gold, mustard, or sun-like color?
My neighbour has a 2015 model. They have been offered here since 2014 or 15. not sure which

Kevin Diaz Do you really have to put Premium fuel in all turbos? Like the Ford F-150 2.7 and 3.5 Ecoboost?

I'm debating between this and a mini cooper..
Jack Gardel both good,mini is more expensive
this bettle is an awsome car
that it had a gold paint
Can you get the instrument cluster in some soft black plastics or leader or do it have to be the same. Olof as the car? Hate colored insides. :)
Is that carbon fibre on the rear spoiler ?? Thanks saabkyle that's a lot of info in a single video
Hey Kyle, can you do a review of a 2017 Lexus ES350?
I like the new dune
Saabkyle04 please make a review on the new Porsche Panamera 2017 there are 0 reviews and I'm deciding whether it will be a good buy
Is it even out yet...? That would be why
i love this car
Is it possible to change the headlight bulb on this one?
Saabkyle04 What's camera you used for this video? It's impressive.
can we do a bugatti veyron 16.4
i love the red
A lot of car for the price tag. 30k (Canadian) at local dealer.
Could you please review a 2017 Beetle Classic?
Can vw please make at least one variant of the beetle rear engined.
i guess it has a porscha turbo badge in the rear
Can you please review the new Porsche Panamera 2017? Please? I beg of you! I hope you accept! Like this so Kyle does it
Is this great for a first time driver?
I should buy a beetle and give it velocity 9, hopefully it will turn into a bugatti
Please do a 2017 Ford Escape
Seems like you did a change up in your title layouts.
4:59 i love horn
VW could have really made this car a home run.
Instead, we get what is merely an appearance package. No 4motion? No manual transmission? Deal breaker.
2dfx my 2012 beetle turbo had the 2.0T with 200 HP instead of the little 1.8T with only 170 HP. I also had the 6 speed manual.

I'm just sitting here waiting on the 2017 Super Duty video.
COOL 2016/2017 Volkswagen Beetle Dune Review: Funky, Fun & Endearing!
that is so quirky and cool. the color outside (and in!) Switchblade key that is also uncommon
i agree me
Keyless ignition is also an option :)
thanks but the switchblade is pretty cool
Thanks for replying to me a while back. I was looking through my reply history and it made me happy to have a TH-camr reply to me. So I just wanted to say thanks. :D
Saabkyle04 how much dose it cost
I've never seen these before in real life
@Saabkyle04
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2 U AND YOUR FAMILY!!
How does this car go off-road??
wow only 25k ??
here in indonesia, it will cost about 75k.. why ? cause our crazy tax system..
hummer h2 cost 200k here ;(
ilham mandela Holy shit. what does a mustang or charger cost there?
Lambochaser more than 100k.
a honda crv cost 44k here.
check this site if u wanna see it..
www.honda-indonesia.com/model/cr-v
1$ = 14.000 idr
Cool
I miss the old horn I don't think it would be asking too much if they'd put it back in
MY EYES! THEY MADE IT EVEN UGLIER!!! VOLKSWAGEN, FIRST YOU KILLED MY TDI AND NOW YOU BURN MY EYES!!!
As you can see, I loved my A7 TDI before Dieselgate happened.
I rather like the styling these new Beetles have, the only thing I don't like is that the engine is now in the front rather than the rear.

good
Entry undertake ice Olympic smart kind argue.
Looking like SUV, 2-3 centimeter higher suspension, lots of black plastic, and of course lack of 4WD. I like modern city SUVs, but this Volkswagen is simply not looking so good. Anyway, great video Kyle!
Thank you! Yes, this is pretty much a styling package, but it's very well done I think! If it had 4WD/AWD, it would be amazing!

Saabkyle04 The renegade is all that comes to mind. You wouldn't off-road an RS? ;).
Porsche’s descendant
A car that still has a key!?!?
Slug Bug Yellow
I really hate how VWs will ding forever as long as the door is open and the key is in the ignition.
I wish it was actually modified for off-roading
I don't think I would choose a Beetle if I wanted to go off-roading lol
you could make a rally car out of one though
how much consume? in litres pls

eureka
looks more and more like a porsche
+i am Puga I saw the fake channel
That gas gauge is way to big lol.
this car was an Automobile Icon, and they ruined it.
we had a 73 ornage 1200 for 10 years
how did they ruin it exactly?
No, they didn't, unless you Prove the opposite.
i feel like they brought the iconic look back with a modern flare.

İS THAT RWD OR FWD
Money well spent
