VW Beetle is great in comfort and offers good driving experience as well

VW Beetle is an appealing and stylish hatchback with good features in it

Retro style vehicles are very rare and VW Beetle is one of the most common eye catching and perfect example of this style with great popularity as well. There are very few retro style vehicles with this fame and name. VW Beetle is a pioneer in this field and has got the driving position of the class though now there are some competent rivals available in the market with great features and more practical approach than VW Beetle but it is considered as a legend in this field.

Interior and comfort is marvelous

Its interior is very comfortable and soothing. Features are looking aged but VW is quite satisfied with them and the public as well. It is a three door vehicle with good and nice interior that is appealing and eye catchy. Interior is well knitted and cleverly arranged that no one can judge that it is a Beetle. Round dials are very prominent. Dashboard is well packed with quality features. Automatic joystick for gear shifting is impressive. Overall appearance of the interior is fantastic.
