2012 Beetle Review

The new VW Beetle is in the spirit very close to the original Beetle arrived. In our testing shows the popular figure, he can.

The Beetle has made Europe more mobile and is one of the icons of the automotive industry. In the second approach, it is now VW managed to revive the spirit of the original Beetle and again provided him with lifestyle components as a new model position.

In shape and design of the Beetle is immediately recognizable as a bug, but just in a modern form. VW has taken a good path and positions the Beetle more lifestyle direction.

The concept of the beetle, which was revolutionary for its time, is now once already out of date now, so you must offer more than simply an old name with a new look.

Only two doors are many customers simply too little, provided it with its styling and coolness factor of the Beetle manages to sneak into the hearts of car enthusiasts.

The new Vw Beetle has a special attraction here, the twisted and the people on the street heads. There is hardly a car that attracts more attention to itself, even in the rather nondescript "platinum gray" - Metallic paint of our test cars.

The possible range of colors with no surprise that, as the Beetle would be safe even gaudy colors well, but one (quite dark) red and white but very muted colors to choose from.

Standard equipment on board will then have ESP, ABS, six airbags, Radio RCD 310, air conditioning, front armrest, trim exterior anodized aluminum, an air inlet grille with chrome trim, alloy wheels "Whirl", a leather steering wheel, cruise control, electric mirrors and electric front windows.

Our test vehicle spoiled additionally with automatic air conditioning "Climatronic", a navigation system, metallic paint, 17 "alloy wheels" rotor ", the Light and Sight package, a mobile phone preparation, multi-function display" Plus ", a multifunction leather steering wheel, winter package, and the Park Pilot System.

Just as the Beetle has the exterior styling is a skillful development of the first beetle, it also offers many interior elements that have an immediate recall of past beetle-times, but just again in a modern and stylish presentation. An example is the very steeply inclined dashboard with a glove compartment in the vehicle color or the big round speedometer, which is now flanked by two other ads mentioned.

You feel immediately at home in the Beetle, and the functionality is excellent. All buttons and functions are where you expect them, and the materials used have a very high standard.

The space is excellent in the front row for the rear passengers is limited by the spherical shape of a little tight. With 310 liters of luggage capacity of the new Beetle is not a loadmaster, for two people but should be enough space. After all, can be expanded by folding down the rear seats on the volume up to 905 liters.

Practical storage and the flair of the original Beetle round out the very positive impression of the interior even more.

Compared to its predecessors, the new Beetle can come up with a top sound insulation. Even at highway speeds is the 1.2-liter TSI engine inside to hear nothing, and the rolling and wind noise are very low.

For those who have no racing ambitions, also is the thrifty TSI petrol engine with 105 hp (77 kW) is a very good choice. It has never felt this to be underpowered, and the Beetle provides a decent amount of fun.

Its maximum torque of 175 Nm, the engine delivers 1550-4100 rev / min, which is available right at the start of growth spurt.

Subjectively, it felt even faster from 0 to 100 km / h as in the work promised by 10.9 seconds. The top speed is 180 km / h and should therefore be sufficient.

Inspire, the 427.8 cm long Beetle with its agile handling and good roadholding. The smooth power steering makes a very pleasant measure exactly the Beetle on curvy roads.

Well the engine is in harmony with the manual six-speed manual transmission, which is translated quite short. The recommended gear indicator reminds one very early the next higher gear. With the maximum torque available very early, it can be but so too are progressing fast.

A very positive aspect of this economical driving style shows then at the gas station. On average, one comes with quite a hardy driving behavior on fuel consumption of just 6.6 liters of gasoline. Who is not quite as rapidly accelerated, will be surely looking also at the factory promised 5.9 liters.

The 2012 VW Beetle spoiled with lots of details, which remind one of the original Beetle, but it offers comfort with technology and everything you expect from a modern car today. In combination with the 1.2 liter TSI, the Beetle is also very quick, but also economical to move.

Vw Golf Cabriolet 2012

As so often with Volkswagen, this model also comes quite late on the market. During the preparations for the production of the recording available from September all-new seventh generation of the compact car at full speed, the cabriolet is still on the current platform. And this for at least five to six years. A small flaw in the eyes of any motorist who would like to have a vehicle according to the latest technical standards. How big the difference in handling characteristics and technical capabilities between old and new, in fact, you will see, however, until the autumn, when the new Golf is available at dealerships.



Our test car is quite modest, with the small diesel engine fitted. Want to enjoy a good choice for drivers who drive open and not constantly be on the road with the highest speeds have. The 1.6-liter diesel engine is a bit grumpy, but sparingly, and equipped primarily with enough force. 105 hp and 250 Nm of torque sound but not really after, but actually, the four-cylinder with a 1.5-ton convertible few problems.

Only when starting to make the diesel a short period of weakness, then receives the crankshaft always enough pressure, 1500-2500 r / min is always even, the maximum torque available. Exactly in the speed range in which one moves this vehicle with this type motorization much. Only beyond the 180 km / h on the motorway past the acceleration. The Golf is still dragging on up to 188 km / h, according to Speedo, it was actually just over 200 cases. But that's not the world that vehicle, who wants to drive this fast convertible, should take the GTI version.

Our golf had other well-known properties: a foolproof chassis, in which the ESP itself has to intervene in a very fast cornering and hard times return. A comfortable, yet sufficiently close tuned suspension, steering, and a soulful great seats and a surprising amount of space on the two rear seats and the trunk (250 liters). This is a fantastic, always electrically operable roof that not only felt in ten seconds to open, but holds its own closed: The Golf Cabrio is as quiet as almost any other vehicle of this type.

In the course steered by our BlueMotion version with the small diesel will cost the Wolfsburg least $34,669.32. After all, air conditioning, electric lifter for all four windows, a remote-controlled central locking, power mirrors, and so too does the electric hood on board. Everything else costs extra charge and there is always at VW as much from elsewhere.

On the other hand: Actually, it takes not much more for the fun of driving. The truly reduced to the necessary equipment even increases the pleasure, but you can concentrate on what's important and original - the open ride on a beautiful spring day.

Volkswagen Phaeton Review

At the Translucent Manufacturer in Dresden Vw produces one of the finest vehicles in the world: the Vw Phaeton. The limousine's excellent and comfort (four-wheel generate and air revocation as standard) set a unique standard. Vw, the most successful carmaker in European countries and The far east, has now made the VW Phaeton even more perfect. The organization's new leading was revealed for initially at Auto Cina 2010 in China.

Its shapes are identified by the Volkswagen style DNA developed by Wally de Silva, the team's German primary designer. Around the absolutely new front aspect area in particular the style team has further improved the model's very own stylistic aplomb. In the process the timelessly stylish Vw Phaeton has obtained a larger and more powerful appearance. The new model is also classified by variations to its back area and outline.

The VW Phaeton's interior rankings as one of the most stylish, top excellent and comfortable in the entire top quality class. The 4-zone air-conditioning program, for example, that works no cost of any draughts, and the award-winning ergonomic desk 18-way chairs are unrivaled. All of the Vw Phaeton interior's functions are also user-friendly to use. In addition to the edition with three back chairs (5-seater), the limo can be additionally requested with two electric adaptable personal chairs (4-seater). Furthermore a edition of the Volkswagen Phaeton is also available that is twelve centimeters longer. Meanwhile, the limo can be almost considerably unique with a variety of leather, alcantara and wooden decrease, plus recommended equipment such as a refrigerator or multi media techniques from Vw Exclusive. This also relates to the absolutely re-designed multi-function rim. It can be requested either in leather or in a wood/leather combination corresponding the appropriate wooden decrease features.

The Vw Phaeton's electronic support techniques include Energetic Gentle Guide (dynamic major stream control), ACC (automatic variety regulation), Front Guide (surroundings monitoring) and Side Guide (lane change assistance). A steering wheel pressure management program also provides expectations of protection.

Dynamic Gentle Guide in detail: Vw is presenting for the Volkswagen Phaeton a new recommended camera-based major stream management program called Energetic Gentle Guide, which symbolizes a major technical advancement in inactive protection. Linked in with a digicam incorporated behind the windshield the program keeps the major stream web theme of the conventional Bi-Xenon headlamps completely on. It merely covers the places of each stream that it determines could potentially affect other drivers. For the car owner this means significantly more light, clearly improved protection and a more calming generate. The operate is obtained by an extra aperture between the reflector holding the Xenon light and the contact. Combined with an brilliant, side slanting of the complete component (via the cornering light function) and personal management of the eventually left and right front lights, this extra aperture understanding enables light to be hidden only in those places that could otherwise cause other drivers to be surprised.

Thanks to the top aspect digicam the cornering light management program finds the exact position of the car before aspect and at connections of 60 km/h or more 'pushes' the spool of sunshine to the back of the car or even to its aspect and on past it - without stunning the car owner. The increase in protection and car owner convenience provided by Energetic Gentle Guide is considerable and can be rated on a par with that obtained at time by the release of Xenon technology.

Automatic variety control is controlled via appropriate control buttons on the re-designed multi-function rim. It is controlled in many aspects in the same way as the cruise management program. With ACC empowered the car instantly reduces (if necessary to a stop) and connections up within a rate variety set in advance by the car owner. ACC can be turned on at connections of between 30 and 200 km/h. The program then uses mouth to identify any traffic within an position of 12 levels visiting up to 200 meters before aspect of the VW Phaeton. ACC is empowered and incapable via an ON/OFF option on the eventually left of the multi-function rim. All of the car owner support techniques, including ACC, can also be turned on or off as well by demanding a option in the centre of the sign stalk for more than a second. The ACC also gets incapable as soon as the car owner forces the braking system your pedal. The program can be moved back on via the 'Resume' option on the rim. It then continues to use the desired rate set prior to it being incapable.
