Spongy and fun. Not a sporty suspension at all (not that it was sold as such) but the 2.0 TSI engine is fantastic.

It makes me feel happy and embarrassed. Happy because pushing the 6-speed auto into “S” mode and burying the accelerator pedal is fantastic, and embarrassed because I’m giggling and smiling in a freaking VW Beetle.

No. Gamecat is New Beetle scum. All glory to the A5 Beetle!

How many high fives have you received while parking?

Is all of the adulation distracting?

There is zero adulation. I did meep meep at another Beetle in traffic, but was callously ignored.

On a serious note, how is it to drive? Fun or boring?

It’s a bit noisy at highway speeds, but is fun to drive. The engine has a great noise in the cabin as you accelerate and it’s quick. It feels quicker than my 330Ci. Just scooting around town is fun.

Headroom is excellent (no sunroof in this one). I’ve put 800 miles on this one and I’m sitting at an average of 33mpg with mostly 75mph highway driving. City is probably low-to-mid 20mpgs. It’s the 200hp 2.0 TSI engine and six-speed automatic transmission.

How are the front seats? I ask because I never got along well with the front seats of the Mk6 Golf.

I have a couple of questions-

How do you value your what you contribute of to at the workforce? Second part, at which can’t you most can’t the least?

Not a fan. The vinyl was not nice on the back of my bejeaned legs for some reason. In slacks they’re ok.

I am a highly skilled Beetle driver, my LS Swapper. And what I most can’t the least would be do not a bad job, but always a good.

Oh I don’t need to - it’s just a rental I got from Georgia back to Maryland.

As a base model (I think) it’s fine. Decent stereo, seat heaters, and auto windows are good touches. The trunk is a good size as well. I don’t really have any gripes except the road noise at higher speeds, and the turn signal/wiper stalks feel cheap.
