I purchased this VW Beetle Turbo S new in March, 2003, from Archer Volkswagen in Houston, Texas. It has been maintained by authorized Volkswagen dealers according to the prescribed maintenance schedule and has never been smoked in. I have all records and manuals for the car, including all maintenance documents and records of all gasoline and incidental expenses, as well as two remote keys and one valet key. EPA mileage estimates were 23 mpg city/30 mpg highway. My typical gas mileage has been in the 26-28 mpg range. Current odometer reading is 105,500 - approximately 85% highway miles. Exterior is in superb condition with no dents or dings and paint that shines like new (see pictures). The tires are the same model Michelin as original equipment with plenty of tread left. Interior is excellent, showing a bit more wear than exterior but still very fine (also see pictures). It would be difficult to find a better example of this model. I would not hesitate to get in and drive it across the country tomorrow.

The AutoCheck score for this vehicle is 80. (Similar vehicles typically range from 34-58.)

The Turbo S model was a limited production edition added to the Volkswagen lineup in 2002 and sold until 2004. It was offered in four colors (silver, red, black, and platinum gray). The front and rear wear model-specific facia (supposedly designed by Porsche) and it was equipped with 17-in alloy wheels with 225/45 Michelin tires. The interiors were all identical with black leather sport seats with gray leather inserts. The door panels also have inserts of this gray leather. The upgraded interior included stainless steel pedals and aluminum accents on the shift knob and steering wheel. The dash lighting was white on black (a change from the attractive-but-hard-to-read blue and red of the standard models). The biggest changes were under the surface. The already excellent 1.8 liter 20-valve turbocharged 4 cylinder was upgraded with higher boost and different computer mapping to produce 180 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque (up from 150 and 162 on regular turbo models). All were equipped with a precise-shifting 6-sp manual transmission (a first for US Volkswagens) and upgraded sport suspension and brakes. Turbo S models came fully equipped with no options available. Standard equipment included air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control, ESP (also a first for US Volkswagens), ABS, leather upholstery, heated seats and mirrors, power moonroof, power automatic rear spoiler, and an 8-speaker Monsoon sound system (in 2003 this came with a cassette player, though a Volkswagen CD radio will slide right in or a CD changer can be easily added). The end result was a big improvement in the fun-to-drive factor and a car that is very stable on the highway, handles securely on curvy roads and feels quicker than it actually is.

Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. I may be able to assist with making arrangements for shipping at my discretion but will not be responsible for the vehicle once it is on the truck. I have done my best to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible. This is, of course, a used car, and no one can predict the future. The vehicle is sold as is, where is and there is no warranty on this vehicle, express or implied. Feel free to ask any questions I may not have answered above.

Tanner Foust checks out his new VW Beetle GRC rally car

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

Racing driver and Top Gear USA host Tanner Foust is a very busy guy. After all, he's competing in rounds of both Global Rallycross series and FIA World Rallycross Championship, not to mention his TV duties. However, we probably shouldn't feel too sorry for him, because his job puts him behind the wheel of some truly crazy machinery.
Case in point is his latest ride in Global Rallycross - the Volkswagen Beetle GRC. The German company claims that this all-wheel drive Bug makes around 540 horsepower from its 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and can shoot to 60 in under 2 seconds. Plus, if this video is any indication, this Volkswagen sounds like a machine gun when throwing revs at idle, and it can do some wonderfully easy four-wheel drifts.
Previously, Foust was driving a VW Polo for Andretti Autosport in GRC, but the team unveiled the look of the Beetle GRC at the Chicago Auto Show. Now, Foust is finally getting to show off his new office to the public, and like VW's tagline for the new car claims, it's way hotter than Herbie.

Volkswagen formally introduces super-efficient XL1

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Lightweight and low drag are hallmarks of great sportscar design. But when paired with a super-efficient, hybrid powertrain, you have the Volkswagen's XL1 that has been formally introduced in Geneva today.
When the 1,700-lb, carbon-fiber-bodied two-seater hits the road, its claimed 261 miles per gallon will make it the world's most-fuel-efficient production car. Though "production car" might be a stretch since VW said in a February press release that the XL1 would be built using "handcrafting-like production methods." We translate that to mean you won't be seeing many of these cars on the road. Though no one at VW has mentioned pricing yet, early rumors suggested a six-figure price tag.
That's supercar budget for a vehicle that has a 47-horsepower, two-cylinder diesel engine and a 27hp electric motor. With numbers like that, owners can expect 0-62 mph times of 12.7 seconds and top speed near 100 mph.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.
