My old Beetle story - When I became driving age my mom had a 5-speed Camry and I begged her to teach me to drive it. I could shift the gears once I was moving, but I had trouble taking off smoothly (or stalling) from a start until a family friend let me practice in his Beetle. We just drove around the neighborhood starting and stopping until I figured it out. I love the sound of those old Beetles.
This is truthfully one of the better ones you guys have done of late. LOVED it. Also, kudos for outputting the amount you guys do.... it’s mind blowing... I can barely get one out every two weeks... would love to connect and just hear out your process and stuff. Next month tho I have a vehicle every 6 days..... no idea what I’m gonna do if I just keep to my normal posting schedule.
I think manual and electric dont fit together 🤣
I was “conceived” in a 1971 Super Beetle, or so am I told.
I'm glad this murderous car is almost gone. An original one (old beetle) had a parking brake that failed and almost took out my baby sister when we were growing up....seriously though, it is a bit sad to see an icon be temporarily retired. A RWD electric manual version is totally doable and sounds amazing!
These guys could review a Walmart shopping cart, and it would be interesting.
Don't get me started on the broken shopping cart wheels
Target shopping carts are so much better
tallll70 agreed
I just realized that this is basically the last car I would ever buy, and I'm having a good time
"Ok, now it's my turn to push."
They'll probably bring it back as a crossover
Samuel Fernandes *as an Electric Crossover
Still, please don’t. My first car, as well as current one is a Beetle-straight 5 gasser, and now a tdi. I love the car because it’s still a (sub)compact *car* with its own unique look. Maybe make a Gti crossover
LOL
*NO*
I don't want no damn crossover
I ain't gonna lie, I'd drive a new beetle. The design are pretty cool
Maxxas Crow agreed
I agree too. They're kinda hip
I have heard that theyre simmilar to the golf. Ill rock any vw beettle
@@Pokkarix The Beetle uses the Golf Chassis.
You guys should go on a hunt for the first car ever with sliding visors...earliest pass so far is your 2001 GS
VW has brought a concept bus to every car show for the last 20 years, and never releases any of them.
Shit or get off the pot, VW.
@@EnochLindeman Close. It was part of their settlement, so they were forced to bring it out.
*R.I.P. Volkswagen Beetle...*
_(1938-2019)_
I can't believe it's been there for like 81 years.
It'll be back
Josh Bacon :(
Thanks straight pipes for this energetic review! Thank you for enlightening my day with the love for the beetle.
The cross-shop with wrangler makes perfect sense!. Well off daughter's first car....need I say more.
Look at me. Look at me! 👸🐷
I found you guys on Reddit a couple of months ago, & I'm glad I did! You guys quickly have become my favorite channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Beetles and *COFFEE* ??? They coulda done much better. Beetles and Breakfast, Beetles and Brunch, Beetles and Bagles, Beetles and Bacon, Beetles and Yeetles.
It was beetles and breakfast I think lol
In Brazil, we had a Beetle with the Golf GTI drive train. It was amazing!!
2014 Beetle GSR. We had it too. Didn't sell well.
I’ve got one. It’s great. The R line has the GTI engine as well, but iirc the GSR has stiffer suspension and a few other performance features that the r line doesn’t have
shut your face! Nah. The R Line and the GSR and essentially the same vehicle (engine, the sportier suspension) only difference was the paint color, badging and gear shift lever. I have an R Line and did hella research because I didn’t want that paint job of the GSR. Lol
Gabriel Calazans Franco it sure is! Have it in the states and it’s a true sleeper.
The Beetle will be missed, a truly ionic automobile ❤
Great video, guys. I'm the proud new owner of the beige hardtop with the style packing (including "those amazing wheels") and I couldn't be happier with it.
For what it's worth, I'm 6'2" and my knee doesn't hit the steering column. I guess it's all in seat positioning.
I just got a 2014 Beetle (same generation) and damn this wolfsburg final version looks so nice. It's such an iconic car, I hope they bring it back some day.
RIP Beetle.
Welcome to California! You are in my neck of the woods and yes I'm Canadian! I love driving down PCH it's so relaxing.
My first car was a 1974 british racing green Super Beetle. Indestructible. Had a bad muffler, a shot steering gear ($85 wholesale + $110 to install it in 1982) and a blown head gasket. It ran for 6 years. LOL! It had a sunroof and only left me stranded after a crooked mechanic screwed up the brakes so they didn't release after a few uses. Probably wouldn't go as far to say I regret not having it, but it was almost a right of passage in my day. Nice video guys. I hope you got to drive the '78 convertible that was in the background.
That Dune Buggy was the Meyer’s Manx. Great show! Lets all hope the bug returns...I still wish I still had my ‘74 Uber Beetle...the lower fascia on the 2019 Beetle almost looks like a grab off the later 911’s...
Lots of fun memories in a beetle from about 17 years ago. My cousin had one of the old style ones from Mexico, and he was the cool older person who drove me and my high school friends all over the place. I remember cramming people into the back seat of that thing, and the lack of windshield defrosting, and the heat only coming through some weird vents just under the doors (which could get clogged with leaves), and the crazy loud rear engine. You didn’t even need a tach because you got used to the vibrations under your ass telling you when to shift.
Ive watched at least half of your videos, you guys always make my day.
The best car review channel.
You guys were here recently! For the most part its gorgeous, I still haven't taken my Mini on PCH.
amazing content as always
keep it up guys!
Had a ‘68. Loved it. Now I have a 2012. Hopefully the Beetle will be back and still affordable!!!!
My second car was a '61 Beetle with a folding sunroof. (My first was a '54 Kaiser with a back seat large enough for two teenagers to lie down in. :) ) The Beetle met its end when it threw a rod through the engine block on a trip from Oklahoma to Chicago. Nevertheless, happy memories.
3 videos a week in recent times. Keep up the good work
We've got Tim Horton's in Minnesota. But Minnesota is the Canada of the United States so I guess it makes sense
Hey straight pipes, loved the vid and I’ve come across afew of your vids of older cars and I love BMW’s so can u guys please try and review a BMW E46 M3 (I don’t mind if u review a regular E46 M3 or M3 CSL Cos both are awesome cars and I promise you’ll love them) or a BMW E39 M5, with it’s awesome sleeper looks but that unsuspecting V8. Keep up the good work guys👍🏽
Love the music in the beginning of this video, spot on! Surfs up dudes!
Cowabunga
This is exactly the video I needed for information! Great video!
Thanks
My fiancee bought a 2018 Beetle Dune in the Sandstorm Yellow colour because she heard rumors that the beetle was no longer being made. She's pretty happy she got it and it's actually a great car
Heyyyy straightpipes!! Y’all make amazing reviews! And as always your exterior rolling shots are amazing! Also please review the 2019 golf GTI rabbit in cornflower blue please!!!!
Ok we'll try
The Golf R review did not cover paint color enough. Hope you can get the GTI Rabbit in Toronto Grey (aka Urano Gray) @@TheStraightPipes
That steering wheel is straight out of my 2010 GTI. The simplicity of it is wonderful, drove around an Alltrack with the new style and it doesn't feel nearly as simple or easy to use.
10:14 That Ferrari Portofino peak ;)
I'm starting to believe that piano black is a bad texture for cars. Thanks haha
Excellent
I probably shouldn’t like this car but I really do...it looks great! Fantastic review as always guys 😎
The dune buggy is a Meyer's Manx! Classic, Mr Meyer's was on Jay Leno's garage:)
My friend has a yellow 2000 1.9 TDI Beetle and it’s a great little car it’s actually really fun especially for the TDI.
Under 23k US for convertible and appearance package is well priced. And as always, you guys delivered with your review.
Love my Beetle! Great review as usual! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Finally I see a visor pass your test and now know what it is.
I have the 2005 limited edition convertible (flint grey / burgundy). I love that car. It’s a bad ass.
Can't WAIT to get my beetle convertible this summer 😍
If the beige and black seats are uncomfortable, then I’m heartbroken. Dang it. You two are a hoot though, thanks for the informative review.
Love the Beetle. I've owned a ton of them. I have a Dune and a TDI right now. Really sad to see it go and hope they bring it back electrified.
Sad to see this car go. I had a 2004 VW Beetle Turbo S that was lime green that was fast as hell. After it was chipped was the prefect sleeper. Best part of the car was the lifestyle package which but the lime green into the leather with a center panel and green stitching on the black leather, also had green inserts between the spokes of the wheels which made it a very unique vehicle around town.
Rocking as always! Good job.
I have a 2012 Turbo which has the 2.0 4 cylinder engine with 200 HP. It is a little rocket on the highway with the turbo. Extremely fun to drive as a daily driver. Just maintain them with regular tune ups and they'll last you.
great review guys. yea california is going insane right now sadly. Still i didnt know the beetle had such gangster wheels as an option.
The Portofino at 10:14 was saying "Hey StraightPipes, when you gonna review me?"
Listen to it guys
TheStraightPipes I love your guys channel!! You two are so entertaining!! Keep up the amazing work!!! Have a merry Christmas!! 🎄 God bless!!😀😀😀
Merry Christmas
I was waiting for “Punch buggy” LOOOOL Mannn im satisfied
Good review. Also, don't go to a public library to look at Consumer Reports magazines. The Beetle, Wrangler, and Mini Cooper do not score well for reliability surveys, even though many like the looks and how the Mini Cooper handles. My choice is a cheaper hardtop for a more reliable model from a different company, and a motorcycle with a lot more of a convertible view and wind feel.
My Mom had a 2001 Mossy Metalic Green with Beige Leather interior.
Just a fun car certainly nit fast or dynamic but fun.
You boys gave it a nice sendoff!
RIP Beetle.
I hope you drove the Dune Buggy and are saving it for an end of the year surprise.
That's funny, I thought the cross shopped car would be a Mini for sure. Also, the power symbol for the radio turning with the knob would drive nuts.
I love cars that are unique. This convertible in this combination is really nice especially at this price! C’mon, $30,000?! Great value. Btw Yuri and Jakob, you CAN get the safari beige on pepper beige/titan black interior. It’s a great cruising car, and I don’t give a s... about the hairdresser/girlie car comments. It’s a CAR with loads of personality and style which is fun. To each his own!
The steering wheel buttons are the same as on my 2010 Passat wagon. Switching back and forth with my 2018 Golf, I'm now confused in either car.
I just want to commend you on your excellent taste in music: TONY HAWK PRO SKATER SOUNDTRACKS.
Some serious blazer action happening at that auto show
As always a good review of cars.... but did anybody notice the Grand Theft Auto V background in the video?!?!
I'm 6'4 and never cared about hitting the steering column and I love resting my leg on the side of the dash
Glad to see I'm not the only one with Tony Hawk Pro Skater and GTA playlists (10:42).
Omitting the roll-down windows on the coupe is an epic fail by VW, IMO...Thanks both of you for all the fun and entertainment you've given us this year!
Most coupes don't allow the rear Windows to go down...
Wish you guys could review my friend's 2003 black turbo s beetle with an apr tune making ~220hp, a 6 speed manual, lowered, and a total sleeper, but it's all the way in Oregon. Would be awesome if you ever visit the state to take a look but that'll probably never happen haha
Goodbye Beetle. You are the icon
Merry Xmas from Halifax NS, guys!!
Here in Brazil we have a 220hp 6 speed DSG version called " Fusca TSI" and it's really quick.
André Lima we used to have the Beetle Turbo with 210 hp in North America.
The Beetle had a cool version for rally competitions, there was no street version of it to profit from the victories. It could have been the sports car from VW. A manual version with a punchy boxer engine would have been amazing. Today if the company wants to sell it, they have to say that is an SUV or a CUV. Congratulations guys on bringing good vibes on a car where evolution showed that wrong choices are harmful. There is no other car that started as close to a 911 than the Beatle. One is the car that every car enthusiast loves, the other one could have been the one that everyone bought, but it went on directions that brought its life to an end. Which is fine. Happy Holidays! ;o)
Why did they take away the comfort close feature on the 2019...my 2002 had it. Great for rainy Oregon. Now I have go out with keys, turn on accessories and roll up the windows and sun roof..
Back seats do not flip forward and back of seats lay flat...2019 only the back flops down ¾ the way down.
This car had soo much potential
Hi guys , whats the name of music at start ? Sounds really awesome!
I got one of those "The end of the Beetle" ads before the video started. R.I.P
Since its being sold in the USA, I would think of it as more throwback to the 1979 VW Beetle convertible which was the last of the old Beetle sold in the USA. The Mexican Beetles were unknown to most Americans.
How do you guys have so much great content? Keep it up eh!...
We're really tired
Is that the @roadkill muscle truck in the background at 3:51?!?
🤔I’ve always liked this body style Beetle 🐞, it looks Bentley GT ish (2012) if you squint 😬. Turbo manual only if available 🤗. 🎄
the fact that both of you guys scoffed with surprise when it failed the visor test 😂🤣
I hope you guys get to do the new transit connect wagon soon
I'm usually a Miata guy and sorts csrish guy but damn am I obsessed with the new beetles recently for some reason.
10:14 They really wanted to get that 812 in shot XD
can you do an episode on aftermarket infotainment systems?
Please review the 500 abarth!! POPS & BANGS!!!
Boys are so insync with eachother its awesome
The front diamond quilted seats are from a second generation TT
I went to the ny auto show and there was a denim edition with denim interior and denim top
Will this model drive well in the snow?
OMG you got Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 as a playlist??? I fukcn love you guys lol
🤷🏼♂️❤️
So when are you guys gonna get your hands on the new Ranger?
Jakub's all grown up; from an SKX007 w/formal attire to a Rolex GMT Master w/casual attire.
Does anyone else remembers Herbie when you see the old Beetle models?
My video froze at 6:49 and it made me realize the white wheels end up looking like white wall tires when in motion
Very cool always wanted one
I have a 2014 Beetle and love it
The Beetle will be missed. Thats for sure! I cant believe the visor test failed in the convertible. Merry Christmas guys!!!
Can you guys maybe review a base Audi A4?
Awe no they filmed this right by my home !!!! I wish I could’ve seen them!
Actually so familiar with this drive from LA to Malibu..
Beetle is my dream car! I think it's very adorable
Best car ever I have those wheels on my 2016 classic beetle
