It's been nearly two years since GCBC reviewed the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible and voiced our complaints about the permafilth in the beige interior.
Today, we're showing you a video review of a hardtop Beetle, a 2015 model with the 1.8L turbocharged four-cylinder we recently tested in the Golf.
This week's Alex On Autos' $25,885 tester was fitted with an automatic transmission and achieved 28 mpg during its stay with Mr. Dykes. U.S. sales of the Beetle are down 20% to less than 11,000 units through the first five months of 2015. It ranks 65th among cars in new vehicle sales volume.
As always, you won't find a more detailed, thorough, intelligent video review of the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle 1.8T on YouTube.

In old age, the Toyota Prius is distinctly less popular now than it was in 2007, in second-gen form when fuel prices were a concern and the core Prius Liftback didn't have competition from Toyota's other Prii, the smaller Prius C and larger Prius...

Yesterday, we published the Alex On Autos video review of the 2016 Scion iA, a sedan version of the Mazda 2, a car which won't be coming to the United States. But the iA wasn't the only new Scion with which Alex On Autos' Alex Dykes...

Audi USA began selling the A5 family in late 2007. There have been many updates, particularly under the hood, but this is essentially the same design Audi used late in the second-last year of George W. Bush's presidency. That was a while ago. Yet...
