Forget California surf dudes, hippies and German dictators, the New Beetle convertible is about style, class, and performance, with a serious sense of fun.

An extension to the new beetle family, New beetle convertible recalls the classic drop top Bug, with the thick folding top and huggable personality.

Top up, the New Beetle convertible mirrors its hardtop cousins distinctive semicircle shape, which lends the interior a sense of space, uncommon in drop top rides.

The top folds down at the touch of a button. The windows lower and the whole roof assembly folds into the rear wheel arches like an overstuffed grocery bag and turns its self into a functional rear spoiler. All this lives up to Volkswagens claim that the whole process happens in just 13 seconds.

On the road, the new beetle is well behaved as you'd expect from a car of its class. Theres relatively little road noise when the top's up, and what there is cunningly disguised by a 10 speaker, two sub woofer sound system you cant help but use.

Even the squeaks, rattles and shakes that seem to come along for the ride, seemed to have stayed at home with the new beetle's convertible. Even on the most uneven of surfaces, the new beetle convertible was reluctant to lose it cool.

Like most convertibles. though, the VW beetle's version is a little heavier than the hard top. but this doesn't seem to affect the cars power too much. While its no jet car, the VW beetle will get its self form 0-60 in 11 seconds. A vast improvement on its older brother.

The Beetle convertible is reasonably priced, economical and as a modern version of a retro cruiser, has virtually no competition. You know this car will be a sales winner. If you have a hunger for attention and a sense of nostalgia, this compact little convertible is for you.
