What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle
| 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Powertrain: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent and smooth Tiptronic 6 speed automatic transmission. Like that you have a "sport" mode, which holds the transmission shift point, and you also have the "manual" shifting mode, which is great when driving the back country roads. see full Volkswagen New Beetle review |
| 2007 | 2dr Convertible 150-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD |
Sprightly 2.5L 5 cylinder engine. With a manual transmission, this car is very driver friendly. see full Volkswagen New Beetle review |
