Turbo Diesel

So thankful for my 2005 VW New Beetle TDI. Reliable, great milage, perfect fit for me. Sorry they have discontinued. Their mistake ( in my openion) was when they lengthened the body the did not maintain the height of roof in proportion, thus destroying the classic Beetle look. Would buy again if they came back with the 'wonderful classic look'.

'05 VW Turbo Diesel New Beetle

Will drive my wonderful Beetle until it can no longer be repaired. It has given me trustworthy service great mileage. Sorry it is no longer produced. If they had raised the roof height curve in proportion with the extended length it would have retained it great Beetle character appearence.

Zippy diesel, great milage and cute!

Great retro look with all the modern upgrades. Almost like getting a bargain restomod! Turbo diesel gets awesome milage and way speedier than the original boxer air cooled bug engine. It's a sporty, cute, fun to drive car!

2005 VW Beetle TDI Manual Transmission I have owned 2.

Engine is undeniably one of the best Diesel engines made as well as the manual transmission.. However, the rest of the car is not the best of quality. Fully expect to get the seats fixed after 50000 because wires need to soldered. Pretty much everything breaks inside. The only reason I keep this rig is because of the engine and 50mpg for my long distance traveling.
