First launched in 2003, the Volkswagen Bug Convertible is a modern update to the original Volkswagen Beetle. The exteriors are similar enough that the proper name for the vehicle is the Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible.

Exterior

    A fabric roof that can retract semi-automatically differentiates the convertible from a regular Volkswagen New Beetle, although both cars have round designs and a dome-like body.

Interior

    The interior offers taller drivers a bit more room than in other compact vehicles, according to the company. Like older Beetles, new models come with space to put flowers in the dash.

Performance

    The 2010 New Beetle Convertible, like its hardtop cousin, is powered by a 2.5-liter, five-cylinder engine that provides 150 horsepower and has independent front and rear suspensions.

Safety

    The convertible variant was tested in 2009 by the New Car Assessment Program and received four out of five stars in frontal impact collision protection and rollover safety.

Storage

    With the top folded down, the storage capacity of the New Beetle shrinks tremendously. It offers 5 cubic feet of space, compared to the 13 cubic feet offered by the regular model.
