As much fun to drive as it is to look at.

Volkswagen's New Beetle isn't so new as it was last year, but it still attracts attention and draws comments. It is cute. It's also fun to drive. A taut suspension provides the driver with excellent control on mountain roads and makes it supremely stable at high speeds. Government (NHTSA) crash testing indicates the Beetle is quite safe - something that couldn't be said of the old Beetle familiar to us all.Adding to the Beetlemania is a new 1.8T model that includes a much more powerful engine. The 150-horsepower turbocharged engine allows der Beetle to squirt out of corners like a Golf GTI; in other words, der Beetle is quick.
