Post by: dmac1969 on March 17, 2012, 10:27:12 pm: Its actually very nice , I could live without the Xenon lights and the panoramic roof , but the Fender sound system is cracking , and I love the leather , like my GTI has - only thing against it is that this car , as specced here , is £27K! :surprised:

Post by: andrewparker on March 17, 2012, 10:44:00 pm: I was looking at VW Huddersfields demonstrator, which is white with the very retro alloys. The proportions are really weird, it seems massive. Sitting in it, it felt bigger than my MK5.

Post by: VC on March 17, 2012, 10:49:48 pm: I sit in the if it ain't broke don't fix it section, I owned the outgoing shape and although not a great car it deserved the beetle tag, this incarnation is an unnecessary face lift that does nothing for it aesthetically IMHO

And £27k??? :mad:
Title: Re: Ive got the NEW New Beetle for the weekend....
Post by: dmac1969 on March 17, 2012, 10:58:43 pm: Yeah £27K , Leather , Xenons , Fender sound , Roof , front and rear parking sensors , factory nav , all options over and above the £23 K of the standard 1400 tsi sport

Post by: monte on March 17, 2012, 11:02:34 pm: Xenons look mingin and the wheels are lost in those huge arches....but other than that I like it. :happy2:

Looks like an eyeball in the centre....Saw a red one at the local dealers with the retro wheels. Like the wheels on that one.
They also had a white VW UP. Not bad for a city car..
