VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE (1999-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.3 V5 170 SPORT
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE (1999-11) 3DR HATCHBACK 2.3 V5 170 SPORT is a distinctive three-door petrol hatchback, set apart from practical mainstream small cars by its instantly recognisable rounded shape. It offers a more characterful alternative to rivals such as the Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra, prioritising style and personality over maximum space.
With 170 horsepower, the V5 Sport is the Beetle for drivers wanting stronger performance and a more engaging feel than an ordinary compact hatchback. Its compact size suits couples, solo drivers and commuting, while its distinctive cabin and design can make everyday trips feel special. It is less suited to buyers needing generous rear-seat or boot space.
