Economy
Value
£13,500 for a 1.9tdi with alloys, seems pretty reasonable to me.
Costs
Fuel economy is great, 550 miles on £45!

On the road
Driving
It's smooth and reliable, visibility is a little awkward due to large A frames at the front and back windscreens.
Performance
100 bhp means it's very nippy, it pulls up hills in 5th with ease.

Living with it
Reliability
Never had a problem, starts on the button.

Cool car! Expect other new beetle drivers to wave at you!
Comfort
I don't sit in the back to drive so I'm not really fussed but I did hit my head getting in the back once so not ideal if you have more than one passenger very often. The room in the front is huge, loads of leg room and height adjustable seats.

Security and Service
Security
Nice alarm which my dog sets off if I leave her in there without disabling it. The car automatically locks itself after a few minutes if you take you keys out and forget to lock it.
