If you want a retro-style car with modern amenities, one that instantly advertises its driver as a fun gal or guy, the VW is hard to beat for the price. The Beetle is also quite efficient, especially in TDI diesel form with fuel economy up to 41 mpg.
Aside from the 2015 Beetle’s style – you’ll like it or you won’t – this VW is limited to carrying four passengers. More practicality can be found in the VW Golf, Fiat 500L or other hatchbacks such as 5-door versions of the Mazda3 and Subaru Impreza.
