I just got myself a 1.6 Turbo Cabriolet, with the heritage kit, and I have to say, it has aged beautifully. It's hands-down the best car I've ever driven; or had the privilege of owning. It compares in quality and road feel to vintage/classics I've ridden in at festivals, and I can't see myself ever parting with it. It handles even the most brutal of my local Cornish lanes like it's on rails. Such a shame VW seems reluctant to bring it back. Even if it's resurrected as electric, I hope it keeps some of the more 'analogue' parts I'm coming to love... especially the old-school steering wheel!
Holds up well
When the sun comes out in England... oh yeah, that 1 day last year would have been so worth buying a convertible for :P
Well, it seems that AE pays more. After all, it is sponsored by VAG. Mat's review's on CB were spot on, even if he was a little to generous with overall scores.But look at this: i30 - CB car of the year, only fault backwards visibility, rating 5.0, AE 4.0, negatives firm ride (and it's truly not, I've driven it), and "fussy interior design" (which looks spectacular in comparison to golf's). Golf - AE 5.0 (negative "styling could be more adventurous", CB 4.7 (lifeless steering, boring).
If you are a real porsche fan, you'd know that ferdinand porsche designed the beetle
Such a good car reviewer.
What is the track playing in the backround? Hendrix?
What's the soundtrack? It's really Hendrixish..
Really looks like the Baby Porsche it actually is.
Mat, what about carbuyer?
Love em glasses, have the same model :) Good review, though I don't really fancy the car itself...
Well, it's certainly better looking than the Beetle that came before it. It does almost look like a cousin of the Porsche.
If "The Dukes of Hazard" were remade today, Boss Hogg's nephew Hughie would undoubtedly upgrade to this VW Beetle.
Mat, everyone is looking for you in CarBuyer, quench their thirst!
Whats the price, the price, price
lol the boxster roof goes down in 9 sec at speeds up to 30mph. yay for porsche tech trickling down
how much to lease?
PLEASE REVIEW THE Volvo C70 T5 :) much better choice then that one :) Put still a great car !!
you shouldve reviewed the bmw 5series touring :/
Why?
Mat we want you back at car buyer!!!!!
Where's Rebecca??
A bit of a camp "wobble" there Mat ! lol
Why do they give Matt the Beetle reviews? :(
put?
You don't even have to be a car person to know the simple historical fact that Hitler didn't design the Beetle.
No wonder I've only been seeing that woman in CarBuyer.

Car buyer needs u mat
MAT WATCH OUT YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD!
Haha i'm sorry !! But*, Thanks i would'v never seen it ! :P
whatever
Bit insecure there are ya?
Do think they edited in rock music to add a sense of masculinity? Because this thing has a dinky presence about it regardless of it's dimensions.
It looks like a Chinese car trying to be a Porsche.
1st!
souless review im sorry ....
Traitor!!!!!!! does autoexpress pay better than car buyer or what? what happened to the water bottle test? :)
This is possibly the ugliest car Ive ever seen. New generalized specifics style retro cartoon car with gaping mouth full of braces. Wheels inspired by the transformers movies.
Nice review, but that is just ugly.
ugly car
