2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI

Mr .German man please put back the engine at the backside, air cool the dam thing that will make people like me who owned a couple to buy one!!!!

i guess everyone forgot what volkswagon stood for. it was known as the peoples car. not anymore. they are over priced over engineered and unaffordable.

Car companys have come so far. My bother had a new 1959 Renult Dophene, it got 39 Miles per gallon way back then. Why so long for them to just now get close to 40 mpg.

The engine is at the wrong end of the car! Should build one like the original, rear engine-rear wheel drive. Then I would buy one.

Made in Mexico, like the previous new Bug.

If it's not air cooled why would you buy it (74 super)

another hater........ Blame the US government for standard saftey features a US car must have as well as, cost of supplier made parts and expectations of a US owner "there" is the cost of your new car, besides there is absolutely no camparrison on parts content between a Toyota "what u drive" and a European designed and engineered automobile.

If this car is still made in Mexico, the reliablity is still crap.

The VW's are not getting worse mileage with more efficient engines, the EPA keeps revising the test methods. The EPA has twice revised the rating on my car, and I've never even come close to the mileage they predict (18/28), it's darn near 50% better. My worn out 12 year old VW with 225k STILL gets better mileage than was rated on the sticker(24/33) when I bought it new. I get around 26-28 around town and 33-35 on the highway. I have no idea where the EPA gets 18mpg for a 1.8 turbo 4 cylinder. I can't even do that bad with 3 bikes on top and 4 people in the car driving over Vail pass at full throttle.
Go ask a Honda hybrid owner if they get the mileage on the sticker, better yet, look up the class action lawsuit from people that paid extra for the hybrid and get under 30mpg in a civic.
Lastly, try driving a VW Diesel and see how quick it really is with a ton of low RPM torque on hand. You can actually have fun in a car that gets good mileage.

Cute New Beetle But the TDI i never care for. I perf gas engs byfar. More power and TD are slow but keep the motor last longer.

oh and i forgot we also get 48 mpg in town with a/c of course 8)

life is vanity

The Golf TDi runs for around $24K, I hope they market this car at a lower price point :)

I had a 1972 Super Beetle.It ran and ran and ran and ran.. Most dependabe car I ever owned. I'd get another if I had the money.

Styling just fails flat. I didn't like the previous one, of any of them for that matter but this is just fugly.

even more ugly than the pervious one, I tough was hard to make it worst, but they did it!
great job guys, please, now as Giugiaro to fix it, as he did with the Golf, the passat, the scirocco........................................

i like the model, it looks more like the original sketch and it has a sexy design

2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen gets 30 city, 34 combined & 42 combined & weighs 325 more pounds, runs the same motor, has more space and is needs no "manly infuseumness". Dad can take Mom out for Valentines and be cool.........or take the kids to Lowes and everyone has fun.
(above data, see www.fueleconomy.gov )

This car will get more than 39mpg on the highway. I know someone with a Jetta and a new Passat, both with the TDI engines, and they both get over 40mpg highway. The Passat actually gets about 44mpg at 65-70 MPH on the highway.

The stated mileage numbers for the diesels is LESS than they get as opposed to the numbers for gas cars, which is usually MORE than what they get.

Saddly this car it ugly as sin and not at all sporty looking and it not true to the beetle looke and style.
