This sexy beast!



Weirdest car I have ever driven - can't wait to get my GTI back from the dealer this arvo.

oh but wait for the best part - thinking of modding my GTI so it has one too



The service dept. said they didn't have any VW's in for loan, which I said fine with me, but then he came back and announced that he had a Beetle.

Yeah, ive had a red, i do feel sorry for those blokes that have to drive around in the pink ones as company cars.

Horrible thing to drive too, i found the only way to make it go was to use the manual option on the gearbox.

Unfortunately they have stopped selling huge numbers so the trend seems to be to put them on as courtesy cars for a few months to help get rid of the stocks.

I'll say, it just won't change up gears without revving its guts out. brrrrrrrrrrrr

Not surprised they aren't selling too well with a price point at $30,000+

Haha, my gf's sister has one of these. The dash is flat and massive that it could pass as a dinner table. And the flower? WTF? Maybe it's the equivalent of the Fast for the Bettle?

I still maintain that if you ever want to attract ladies with a car you should drive a New Beetle Cabrio. I've owned a number of cars you might stereotypically consider to be 'chick magnets' (or mid life crisis cars), but absolutely nothing attracted the attention of the opposite sex like the Beetle Cabrio.

Admittedly I wouldn't have bought one for myself, but I spent a fair bit of time driving my wife's car and I swear it was the most (positive) attention I ever received from the opposite sex just by driving a car.

The plastic flower and vase is, of course, standard fitment.

Did you have to pay for the loan car?

Just so im clear, as this will be the first time i have bought a brand spanker of a new car (GTI waiting till it arrives) So if you go to the dealer to service your brand new GTI under warranty, they give you a courtesy car?? Like its part of the service? Is that True?? Or did you have to pay if you wanted a courtesy car?

I could not believe how the ladies practically leapt into a friend's old Fiat 500 until he took me for a drive one summer evening. It was the car's only redeeming feature really, but what a feature!

When I took my GTI in for warranty repairs, they gave me a loan car free of charge, it was booked at the same time as the repair work. .... at least they gave a black mk6 golf as a loan car.......

hahah..i had a weird day when I got a pink/violet beetle as a courtesy car, with see through glasses and people staring me all the way when I drove to my office and back!!

You guys DO realise that the original Beetles came with a flower vase as an option? Very sought after (the original vases). We've got one somewhere. They were off white, flat backed with a floral design on the body of them.
