I was on business last week down in LA, MS, AL and FL. When I rented a car, the guy says "We just got that black Beetle in. Is that OK?"
Well......YEAH!
Black, all leather heated seats, 2.5 liter 5 cyl with 6 speed sport automatic.
It was a lot of fun to drive. That 5 cylinder pulls hard and sounds cool. Above 4000 rpm it really starts pulling. You can manually shift it but it doesn't always do what you ask. The automatic sport mode seemed quicker.
The only things I didn't like was the radio, that huge dash board, and small trunk. I think I would rather have a golf with the same engine and a 6 speed manual.
