Everything I wanted and More…

For a car that looks the part and has decent mechanicals my 1.2 Beetle Sport fits the bill. Always wanting something that looked like a classic but drove like an up to date modern vehicle I wasn’t bothered about whether it was better or worse than other vehicles in its class. For a 1.2 it has ample acceleration whether standing still or overtaking with the DSG gearbox making excellent use of its power delivery while still returning 45-55mpg. It can get a little noisy at Motorway speeds but turn on that 400watt Fender System and it will have you bopping away to your favourite tunes drowning out any unwanted intrusions. If you are the shy type then this car is not for you as you will get beeped flashed waved at frantically by other Beetle owners as you have become a member of an exclusive club…
