New Beetle
For 2005, Volkswagen's retro-flavored New Beetle, receives a number of minor enhancements, including a newly standard audio system that includes a connector for an MP3 player, and available satellite radio with a choice of either Sirius or XM service. The standard 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and available 180-horsepower turbocharged 1.8-liter powerplant now come with a standard six-speed manual transmission (a five speed manual is otherwise included, with a four-speed automatic gearbox optional). The 100-horsepower, 1.9-liter TDI turbodiesel version is one of the most fuel-efficient autos on the road, while the top Turbo S model includes anti-lock brakes with brake assist and VW's Electronic Stabilization Program.
