Safe and secured

To good driving and running cost is better than any other company car and also safety is so important thing to buy this car for me I love this car no compromise for safety me and my family.

Too expensive to be GOOD for a hatchback

The price for Beetle should have bee kept between 10-15 lacs. Many people would have opted this car in the 10lac range however 20 Lacs, no ways....May be you need to be FILTHY RICH to buy this cutie pie. Car is Great, Not for the price... One can buy a 7 seater SUV or Top of the Line Sedan at this price....  Cute looking car meant only for people who can splurge their BLACK $$$Too expensive... might as welll buy a SWIFT & ask DC to modify it.

Love, Love Me Do!

By CarWale Team25 Jan 2010

The date December 04, 2009 will remain etched in minds of Beetle lovers in the country. It was on this day when the ‘New Beetle’ drove into the Indian roads – almost 70 years (1938) since the birth of the first Bug in Germany. The Beetle as it is known today was a demand made by Hitler to Ferdinand Porsche to build a ‘people’s car’ – one that can transport two adults and two children.
