2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI

With an Energuide rating of 7.0 L/100 km city and 5.0 L/100 km highway I was hoping I would get close to the 5.0 L/100 km rating this week. But it wasn’t meant to be and I averaged 5.7 L/100 km. Not a horrible number, just a little higher than I expected with my mostly highway commute.

For me the Beetle is a novelty. If I were shopping for a vehicle with similar features and specifications I’d probably go with the Golf, which is essentially the same vehicle with a more practical, conventional body. But if you are looking for a Beetle or just for something different that still delivers some fun, good fuel economy and some practicality the Beetle has you covered.
