Volkswagen's New Beetle isn't so new as it was last year, but it still attracts attention and draws comments. It is cute. It's also fun to drive. A taut suspension provides the driver with excellent control on mountain roads and makes it supremely stable at high speeds. Government (NHTSA) crash testing indicates the Beetle is quite safe - something that couldn't be said of the old Beetle familiar to us all.Adding to the Beetlemania is a new 1.8T model that includes a much more powerful engine. The 150-horsepower turbocharged engine allows der Beetle to squirt out of corners like a Golf GTI; in other words, der Beetle is quick.
