compare it: VW Beetle Sport - Mini Cooper S | drive it!
- 13 years ago
The new VW Beetle has gotten wider, more powerful and more aggressive, but not at the cost of its classic styling.
The Beetle Sport is an attempt to create a cool, fun-to-drive car with a retro feel to compete with the Mini. But how does it match up against the Cooper S? At its core, the new Beetle is actually a Golf GTI with a classic Beetle exterior. The engine is great, but there are few surprises. The car also has the familiar Beetle feel, and that's definitely fun, although the Mini with its go-cart feeling and rally pedigree is also unique. But the new Beetle is definitely a worthy competitor.
