Pros & cons | ||
Summary | As Volkswagen prepares to 86 the Beetle in favor of its new retro retread, the electric I.D. Buzz, it has decided to use the little nod to nostalgia as one of the promotional platforms for its new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. With a new combustion cycle developed at VW, this larger engine offers the Beetle some extra economy for its final lap. But rather than letting the Beetle fade into iconic history, VW has a last blast to bestow in the form of a special “Coast” edition that comes with a unique trim treatment and paint job. | |
