This Year's Model Updates:
The New Beetle gets a styling refresh for 2006. New front and rear bumpers, headlights and taillamps highlight the exterior changes. Inside, the cabin receives a new console, redesigned instrument cluster, revised sun visors and additional chrome trim. Under hood, last year's gasoline engine choices are dropped in favor of the 150-horsepower, 2.5-liter, five-cylinder engine first seen in the redesigned Jetta. Stability control is now standard.
Pros:
- Cute yet classic styling, long list of standard features, diesel engine option.
Cons:
- Aged design, tight rear-seat accommodations, limited cargo room.
