Best car

Nearing 1-year completion of my S-Presso vxi plus ags. not even a small lag to date. and super quiet engine until 100 km/h speed. Everything is appreciable in this small though in looks but very spacious for a family of 4. nothing much to complain about this mini boy. this has become our family member right from the time of purchase. excellent suspension especially in bumpy roads. super quiet engine, powerful ac and excellent speaker system make this car an ideal companion for the city as well on the highway. can go for this without a second thought.

Too expensive to be GOOD for a hatchback

The price for Beetle should have bee kept between 10-15 lacs. Many people would have opted this car in the 10lac range however 20 Lacs, no ways....May be you need to be FILTHY RICH to buy this cutie pie. Car is Great, Not for the price... One can buy a 7 seater SUV or Top of the Line Sedan at this price....  Cute looking car meant only for people who can splurge their BLACK $$$Too expensive... might as welll buy a SWIFT & ask DC to modify it.

Love, Love Me Do!

By CarWale Team25 Jan 2010

The date December 04, 2009 will remain etched in minds of Beetle lovers in the country. It was on this day when the ‘New Beetle’ drove into the Indian roads – almost 70 years (1938) since the birth of the first Bug in Germany. The Beetle as it is known today was a demand made by Hitler to Ferdinand Porsche to build a ‘people’s car’ – one that can transport two adults and two children.
