If you’re shopping a compact coupe but you want something that really stands out from the crowd, Volkswagen’s 2016 Beetle coupe and convertible deserve a good look. Their build quality is excellent, as is the quality of the materials used to form the feature-rich cabin.
If you regularly carry more than two people, the Beetle’s two doors and smallish back seat probably won’t meet your needs. A 5-door hatchback such as the Mazda3, Mini Cooper hardtop and Fiat 500L all offer unique styling, plus more room for people and cargo.
