New Beetle V5 Sport

Well Saturday we picked up our New Beetle, the V5 Sport and I'm really impressed with it the V5 has a lovely warble to it and pulls through the gears really well. A massive plus for us with the Beetle is the ISOFIX it comes as standard with them and with the leather seats any accidents that happen should just wipe clean!

First thing that happened as soon as we got it home was a good clean and rub over with paint cleanser to get rid of the marks it had picked up from being near a tree. The alloy wheels came up like new and have no kerbs or scratches and the BBS Delta's which is a bonus!

It's going to a friend's body shop for a bit of a tidy up at the front to get rid of the stone chips it's picked up but once its back it will look like new. Then i think we will upgrade the headlight bulbs to H1 osram night breaker's or try the H1 Ring Xenon Max or maybe even go for a H1 HID kit like we had on our last Beetle.

The VRS is going

We'll Charlie has decided she can't get on with the VRS any longer it's never been the love of her life and she regretted selling her New Beetle 1.8T Colour Concept to get it.

Don't get me wrong the Skoda Fabia VRS is a fantastic car it does esactly what it says on the tin and more. I know I'm the one thats been driving it for the last 6 months and I've really enjoyed it!

So your asking what has she decided to change the Fabia VRS for???

A New Beetle again! Ah but not any New Beetle she spotted a 53 reg V5 Sport with less than 35k on the clock for just a bit more than the trade in value of the VRS.

The V5 Sport is 170bhp silver and comes with full two tone leather sports seats. Oh and it has ISOFIX which is great considering we have a 3 month old!

So this means I'll be back in my MK5 Golf GT TDI and this blog well I think I'll keep it going with what we get up to with the Golf and the Beetle.
