Volkswagen Beetle For Sale

Examine photos of the 1932 Volkswagen Beetle prototype, and discover a shape and style that remains intact even in today's most recent edition. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, that form speaks to us, and although it may no longer generate the hysteria it once did, we still love it enough to keep it around.

However, Volkswagen didn't always recognize this. After dwindling sales in the 1970s, Volkswagen essentially abandoned the Beetle. For the 1980s and much of the 1990s, the Beetle was a "forgotten" automobile. Yet, the popularity built in the 1960s was still part of our culture.

So, the company's decision to design an all-new Volkswagen Beetle for sale was met by many with an it's-about-time reaction. Soon after the news broke, the return of the Beetle for the turn of the century was generating a lot of buzz. People, whether they were car lovers or not, were generally excited.

Consumers lined up for that first Volkswagen Beetle for sale, but a strange, perhaps predictable, thing occurred after that. The buzz died quickly. That's not to say that the new Volkswagen Beetle for sale hasn't been a hit because it has. However, it's not nearly as popular as many of us expected it to be.

A big factor in this lack of appeal is the fact that the Beetle is an underwhelming car. Once one gets past the still-charming aesthetics, they find performance that isn't quite on par with the segment. This continues to be the case with the all-new 2010 Volkswagen Beetle for sale.

The new Beetle once again brings style in spades, and it's available as both a coupe-style hatchback and a convertible. The convertible top is a power-folding soft-top available in the customer's choice of black or white. The rest of the standard equipment includes full power accessories, air-conditioning, cruise control, remote keyless entry, and a nice CD/MP3 audio system.

Dealer-installed options allow the customer to upgrade from 16- to 17-inch wheels, add a rear spoiler, and upgrade the audio system with a 6-CD changer mounted in the trunk. The two factory options are a Power Sunroof for the Beetle coupe and special 17-inch wheels for the convertible. So, for the customer that wants 17-inch wheels on the convertible, they have their choice between two distinct styles. There are also two specialty models called the Final Edition and the New Beetle Red Rock Edition.

Volkswagen includes a 2.5L 5-cylinder engine under the hood of the front-wheel-drive 2010 Beetle. This motor generates 150 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque, and Volkswagen pairs it with a 6-speed automatic transmission standard. There is a 5-Speed Manual transmission, but it's only available on the coupe. It doesn't seem to make a great deal of difference as the EPA rates them the same: 20/29/23 city/highway/combined.

The performance here is underwhelming, and while the car handles well enough for its output, it's nothing to write home about. Volkswagen really limits the Beetle by marketing it to one type of person, the person who finds the bug too adorable to resist. For those people, willing to pay the Beetle premium, the performance and handling will likely be passable. Most other consumers will find that they can get much more value out of cars that cost far less, such as the Hyundai Elantra, Honda Civic, Honda Fit, and the Ford Fiesta.
