The new generation of Volkswagen’s iconic German distilled a perfume of youth darn refreshing. It has long been a symbol of German economic miracle. He also accompanied our parents and grandparents, on the road to war boom. This car is a special case, a slice of history. The children call it Herbie discovered that Walt Disney was decorated in this lovely nickname. If you have missed several episodes, you know that the Beetle was introduced to the market this March is the granddaughter of the icon produced over 21 million units. But, the sign of the times, its engine is located in the front. With the wings that are reported swollen, his eyes gentle acting headlights and the glass surface low, his unmistakable silhouette continues to arouse much sympathy. Admittedly, this third generation, designers are free from the sentimentality of the 1998 version in favor of a facsimile of the original.Low and camped on the large 19-inch wheels, the Sport pearl white trim enhances the dynamism we have tried to increase the benefits modèle.L step above living space. Under the glass roof of the rear window, the two seats can accommodate adults, while the start accepts the baggage of four passengers. Folding down the seatback, the cargo volume reaches 905 liters. Playing as the clear-MINI on the heartstrings of the great lovers of vintage, Cox returns to the dashboard painted body color and dual glove box of her grandmother. Facing the driver, three silhouettes (clock, turbo pressure and temperature) to maintain the illusion of a new series of replays Beetle in Monte Carlo.

I hope to shine, the 2-liter turbo from the Golf GTI inherited is required. But those who do not need a mechanic as a vitamin can fall back on entry-level 1.2 TSI 105 PS 16 990 euro invoiced, the 1.4 TSI with 160 hp or 105 hp 1.6 TDI rejecting only 119 g / km of CO2. As for driving enthusiasts hair flying, you will have to wait a few months before the arrival of the convertible.

No compromises: Herbie has the tone

Cox could be a modern car, a heritage preserved no less, beginning with his windshield that involves a first course and disabling dashboard visibility. Golf has inherited the effectiveness of ride quality and finish but not plastic, obsolete here.Other subjects of contention: the ridiculous rear-view mirror, rear wiper, and the lack of the minimum equipment that requires drawing on the list of options. GTI scratched, the melodic and linear 2-liter turbo form a pair with the marvelous DSG, but the lack of effect in time. We do not recommend the 19 inch tires that plague the vertebrae.
