Volkswagen Beetle (Team Review) - Fifth Gear

The team reviews the VW Beetle.

I LOVE this car! It is sporty and so fun to drive. There is no other car I would rather have. I’m going to drive it until the wheels fall off.

"I wouldn't be caught dead in it" says the guy in the flowery shirt. LOL

when they sold this at a dealer as a press car "lightly tested"

This last generation beetle is actually really beautiful..! (And I would prefer it to the Golf, since I think it looks more interesting)

[amoddedblueteslapd]

I think it looks better than an regular golf

I bought a 2014 Volkswagen Beetle 1.8 and I absolutely love it.

I'm insulted. 🤣 I love this car! It's sporty like a camaro, but without the downside of small cabin of the camaro. This is the best car I ever owned and even 10 years later, every one that sees my arrive in this car is amazed by it. To me, it's a good car, and it's my favorite car.

we have a 2014 Beetle TDI - it's been fantastic, actually. I think it's great fun to drive. It's my wife's car, as I drive a Golf. I think the 5th gear crew were a bit hard on it, TBH. Boo to their findings!

i bought one with a swapped 2.5L and a upgraded turbo. ill tell you right now @ 300WHP in a 2000~lb car is amazing fun for curvy roads and confusing the hell outta people when they realize that this car isnt your sisters flower power mobile anymore.

The guy at 2:00 is literally stuck in the 90s

His clothes and facial hair make him look like he’s stuck in the 90s

Perfect niche car. Not the most practical, really good looks, nice build quality and good handling. I love mine :-)

If it werent by the car, I would've thought this was filmed in late 90's.

[TerryLestrange]

Where is the review? Instead of just jumping with the car i wished to hear more about it.

[seaeagles]

fifth gear presenters you guys and lady are the best and so entertaining. thank you!!!

[tomhutchin]

The New beetle looks especially good in black. With the new back end it looks like the kind of car that a wise guy would drive in the 30s

[smatchimo]

the newest gen beetles are coming with the 2.0t and you dont even need to buy the r-line. its sick. havent drove it yet but the much bigger passat is running the same engine finally and wowww....

[jordandropps]

Mines 2.5 turbo charged and shes pretty zippy

[trailingarm]

This clip contains everything I love about Fifth Gear. I can't watch the BBC product. I do like this gen Beetle. It's handsome and distinctive. Not practical but great as a second car.

Is it me or the mpg numbers are broken..

[farishanafiah]

I still remembered that 2011 Beetle R Concept. It's a shame Volkswagen didn't make that as a final send off to the Beetle.
