The most significant aspect of the 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle is its familiar and friendly shape but, as a bonus, it is quite comfortable as a daily driver as well. Even taller drivers will appreciate the quantity of front-seat headroom. Because it's based on the Golf platform, the 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle exhibits most of the same ride and handling attributes of its sister car.
The 2.5-liter engine delivers strong acceleration and good fuel economy, a noticeable improvement over the previous 2.0-liter engine. On the road the Volkswagen New Beetle offers an extremely smooth ride and handles well under normal driving conditions. Push it a little harder and its relatively soft suspension and 16-inch all-season tires. If you desire better handling, your VW dealer can upgrade the car to optional 17-inch alloy wheels and stiffer springs designed by VW, which will make it more responsive.
The Volkswagen New Beetle's seats are some of the most comfortable, with excellent back, side and thigh support for both driver and passenger. The trademark domed exterior shape provides ample front-seat headroom. The 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle mimics what is probably the best-known automotive shape in the world, the original Beetle. Considering the price, the Volkswagen New Beetle is remarkably detailed and offers excellent crash-test results and projected accident-repair costs. |
