Larger boot, more efficient engine line-up, lots of safety kit
Ride is jittery, not as practical as a Golf
Iconic style, easy to open roof, well built, economical TDI available
Cramped in the back, limited and tricky to access boot space, lacks refinement, roof looks ugly when folded down
Retro appeal, comfortable interior, good performance, capable handling, strong reliability and build quality
Not as practical as the similarly priced Golf, overly firm ride with larger alloys and sports suspension, only really justified if you want a Beetle
Instantly recognisable, funky image, low running costs, available with a TDI engine
Very cramped in the back, small and awkwardly shaped boot, dated looking interior
