Road TestCar reviews - Volkswagen - Beetle - 118TSI DSGVolkswagen modelsOverviewVolkswagen’s latest Beetle is designed to charm, and charm it does23 Apr 2013 PEOPLE just can’t get enough of retro these days. Young blokes are wandering around inner-city suburbs sporting moustaches and young ladies are in maxi-dresses, riding old-fashioned pushbikes. Second-hand clothes are suddenly expensive and labelled “vintage”, with a similar effect applying to furniture that only a couple of years ago would have been considered ideal for your grandparents’ home. Perhaps this is how Volkswagen justifies charging $29,990 for a car based on the previous-generation Golf but with less sophisticated suspension and less interior space.
