At its base price around $21,000, the new 2018 VW Beetle offers huge smiles-per-dollar value. It’s one of the happiest and the most stylish cars available at that price, and its new turbocharged 2.0-liter engine gives it more standard power than the Mini Cooper or the Fiat 500.
The Mini Cooper’s 1.5-liter base engine doesn’t pack the power of the Beetle’s new turbocharged 2.0-liter, but the Mini gets better gas mileage. The Mini also offers a manual transmission, and the 189-horsepower Mini Cooper S outpowers the VW. Plus, the Mini is available with four doors, which the Beetle is not.
