So what is so special about the 2010 VW Beetle? It’s simple; the Beetle is a mainstay for Volkswagen and is one of the more efficient vehicles to own. The 2010 VW Beetle maintains its classic look while remaining modern and efficient. The 2010 Beetle come standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, remote keyless entry, full power accessories, air-conditioning, heated front seats, cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a premium audio system. The 2010 Beetle also comes with a CD/MP3 player, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio.
The 2010 Beetle includes a power-folding soft top in either black or white that comes with a color-keyed boot. The top is powered by one button on the console to take it up or down and a single manual latch that is secured tightly to the windshield header. The convertible has the option of 17-inch wheels.
Virginia Beach VW Beetle for Charity
The front-wheel-drive 2010 Volkswagen Beetle, available from Checkered Flag in Virginia Beach, is powered by a 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine that produces 150 hp and 170 pound-feet of torque. The coupe has the option of either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Fuel economy ratings with the manual transmission are 20 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Models with the automatic transmission yield one more mpg on highways.
The Beetle includes more safety features for a more secure feeling in the car. Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, stability control, front-seat side-impact airbags and active front head restraints. Convertibles also feature a rollover protection system. In government crash testing, the 2010 Volkswagen New Beetle earned four out of five stars for front occupants in frontal impacts and a perfect five-star rating in side-impact testing for front passengers. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the New Volkswagen Beetle a top score of “Good” for frontal-offset crash protection.
There is a little over one week left before the raffle. Make sure you get your ticket today as these tickets are hot commodities.
