Put a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with 210 horsepower in the Volkswagen Beetle and you have a compact car that pegs the fun-to-drive meter. Add in a 6-speed manual gearbox and it ramps up the engagement level, making the Volkswagen Beetle R-Line a car that driving enthusiasts won?t be able to keep their hands off of.
It offers fun and enough practicality that it begs to be looked at if you are an urban commuter.
