new ltd edition vw beetle cabriolet solor

Advantages: stylish, comfortable, and lots of great extras
Disadvantages: the back window is tiny and it uses to much fuel

...of fuel because of the weight of the car it does 35-38mpg. oil and water consumption is great. it handles very well round corners and in the wet, the snow and ice is where this car really comes in handy its powers through the snow with ease and makes quick work of the ice with barly an problems skidding, i was behind a new bmw when it was so icy the bmw was skidding everywhere mine was steady which was excellent. its has great security manufacturers immobiliser and alarm, you press the central locking fob once to open the drivers side and twice to lock the car, you can also hold down the boot button to open the boot when the rest of your car is locked. i get stopped all the time in petrol staitons to ask how much i paid and where from i got my car. the back seats are not very roomy and really could only fit one person or two children...

DO NOT BUY THE NEW SHAPE VW BEETLE 2,0 its awful

Advantages: streed cred (if youre a woman)
Disadvantages: Gas guzzler, high tax class, hard to park, tiny boot, patchy dealer service

...I own a 2001 2 litre beetle and it is the WORST car i have ever owned. Yes it looks great but its a pig to drive (try to NOT scratch the arches), driving position awful, our car has been in and out the garage with various problems including electrical issues, steering problems, all sorts of stuff and now the sunroof leaks. We had AWFUL service from the main VW dealer in plymouth too which didnt help. The car DRINKS fuel, is wobbly at speed if a small gust of wind is around, and the boot is about a big as a squirrels pocket and you can fit about 5 or 6 shopping bags and thats it, full! For a car of its size the cabin is cramped and dark. If it wasnt still on finance payments i would get rid of the car today. verdict:? Buy it if you want to look like a woman, or a plonker...

The new improved VW Golf! It's fab!

Advantages: Sleek, stylish and well designed
Disadvantages: Can't think of one!Get

...Hooray, I've been promoted!!......I was lucky enough to be able to choose a VW Golf as my new company car!!. Seeing as I've already had it 2 weeks, I felt that that was plenty of time to give it a bit of a mention on ciao! I'll concentrate the majority of this op on the model that I have, rather than VW Golf as a whole make of car, as I know next to nothing about the other models in the range! I have a 1.4 FSI (5 door) Now....a little background for you..... This all new, sparkly, newer, better, Golf is the fifth generation from VW. From what I can see, it is the most radical change that VW have made with the Golf over the years. It's dimensions are increased everywhere compared to it's predecessors. It is indeed taller, wider and has a longer wheel base. The boot is larger as is the rear leg room. The front...

Owning a New Beetle

Advantages: Looks, looks, reliability, driving experience and yes, looks
Disadvantages: Practicality - but who cares?

...Model: New Beetle 1.6 Year: 2002 (purchased second hand 2005) The buying decision: A new job required an eighty mile daily commute so I wanted a car that was comfortable, reliable and fun to own. It was not going to be the main family car so practicality wasn't the first priority but I did want to buy from a showroom or forecourt for the warranty. The choice: With a budget of between £7-8k I was looking for a car 3-4 years old. I was initially looking for a high volume small family hatch like a Focus, Leon or 306 none of which are particularly fun to own. The decision: Leons and 306s are surprisingly expensive on the forecourt but Focus' are plentiful and with the new model just come out prices were due to fall. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find a three year old Beetle for sale at a VW dealer for just £7500, this was...

READ THIS BEFORE BUYING THE NEW MODEL VW POLO

Advantages: Looks good and quality feel
Disadvantages: Questionable Reliability

...cylinder. Engine management warning light still appearing occasionally. Rear washwipe fails and water somehow manages to escape underneath and into the car. Steering column then fails and requires new coil. Airbag warning light appears and horn fails! Dealer resolves problems following the car?s 3 day stay with them. Electric wing mirrors then fail and become locked in permanent synchronised movement. Trim around gear stick and hand brake becomes detached. In the last week the car has spent 4 days with the Dealer and they have now managed to reduce the engine power to the point that pulling away on even the slightest of gradients becomes difficult. And VW?s reaction to this catalogue of problems? ?Don?t worry, that?s why we supply the car with a warranty so we can fix these little problems when they go wrong.? Whatever...

The NEW Hot Pink Limited Edition Straighteners

Advantages: Look Great!
Disadvantages: Expensive!

...After having already bought a pair of the traditional black medium sized GHDs, and having them brake on me, GHDs must be good! The straightener is made in a sleek new design which makes it easier for you to create curls and flicks as the barrel is much rounder than previous models. So as well as creating straight hair you can create curls, waves and flicks too. Provided is a CD Rom, showing step-by-step videos on how to create the perfect salon look. They also feature a new 'sleep mode', so they will automatically turn off after 30 minutes; a good way of preventing the house from burning down! Aswell as this they include a shiver function which prevents damage to the irons in the cold winter weather. The straighteners come in a handy silky wrap which rolls out to produce a heat resistant mat and also looks very nice in...

Review of Ghd New Pink Limited Edition Hair Straightener

  NEW BEETLE, A MUCH BETTER BUG

Advantages: The uniqueness of the whole package. Turns heads like no other small car. Turns a corner like a sportscar. Surprising fuel economy. Flower vase.
Disadvantages: It’s no getaway-car, lack of rear headroom and boot space, constant nose and fingerprints on the windows.

....5 seconds Max speed ± 116 mph The impressive feature to me is the handling of the little bug. Sitting low slung, and on broad, low profile rubber, it sticks to the tar like tar to your new car. It is a delight to throw around corners. Some motoring journalists have gone so far as to say that the handling is even better than the new Gti’s. Another surprising feature to me was the fuel economy. I upgraded to this car from a old 1300 cc VW, and I have been able to match the fuel figures and in some instances even better it. I have managed 440 miles on a 55 litre tank of fuel on more than one occasion. Warrantee: Standard VW warrantee on the car for 3 years, 10 000 mile service intervals. Expect to pay around £100 for the service with a dealer. Shop around as I have learned that it can vary a lot. Price: £13 645...

VW MK5 Polo GTI 2000 - 2001

Advantages: Small, nice to drive, nippy
Disadvantages: expensive to buy, hard to find, poor gearboxes

...I fist purchased my MK5 VW Polo GTI back in january of last year and i have become so impressed with the car i decided to write this review. I'll start off with a quick over view of the car.Statistics report that only 3,000 were made. I have not seen this officially reported by VW however. It is reported that 1000 of three colours were made. Red, Black and silver. 500 five door and 500 three door of each colour. So you tend not to see too many around and a lot of people confuse it with the golf GTI The MK5 ' can also be known as a 6N2,It was only made from 2000 until 2001. Now for a quick guide to the specification: Xenon Discharge Headlights with automated washer jets Red Stitched GTi Steering Wheel GTi Gearknob GTi "1" Seats 15mm Lowered Suspension 6CD Changer in the boot Heated Rear Window/Heater Electric...

VW's Range Rover?

Advantages: Very fast, flexible and refined
Disadvantages: Compromised ride and handling. Grey interior

...cars that we test drive at these events with the simple question; "How would we like to drive the 1250 miles to Poland in one of these?" At last years Company Car in Action event, as well as getting to test drive the V12 Volkswagen Phaeton, reviewed elsewhere, my wife and I were more than impressed when the Volkswagen Corporate salesman invited us also to try the then new big 4x4 Volkswagen Touareg too. The one he had available for us to drive was the full house, top of the range £53,640 V10 Diesel. Apart from the loan of a (dreadful) long wheelbase Vauxhall Frontera for a week, several years ago, my experience with big "off-roaders" was precisely nil! That the first such car I should drive would be powered by this extraordinary V10 diesel engine was something of a bonus! Getting to try each of these cars could be viewed as...
