VW Beetle Cyber Green V5

[AndyT77]

Hi all, here is my new runaround, 2001 VW Beetle V5. Bought off the original owner, full file with bills for 15 years of services, MOT's, tyres, bulbs, etc etc. In the last few years they've refurbed the wheels, had new badges on, fixed various bits and pieces, and generally been the ideal past owners.

Let me know what you think, I'm rather smitten

Yes, the noise is definitely good!

That's in the boot, might use it for my e cig!

First time I've spotted a Readers Car on the road! (M6 J16 roundabout tonight if you're wondering).

I've always liked the idea of a subtle fast Beetle.

Yes indeed, that would have been me, did you hear it? What were you in ?

Sadly couldn't hear it over my own diesel clatter. Looked very nice though.

Thanks!

Just a quick update, tank 1 saw 31mpg, tank 2 saw 28.5mpg. Not too shabby, certainly fine by me, the noise alone makes it worthwhile.

There's a nice blue one on Autotrader to £1,200.

Not as nice as mine!

Wife had a V5 Sport Edition , she loved it but it never felt that nippy to me, used to average 30mpg on the daily commute which isnt too bad i guess

Yeah, they're not that quick, but I really like ringing it's neck. Its certainly a bit slower than the Golf gti I had before, but quite entertaining, especially alongside a boring old 4 cylinder or clattering diesel.

Is that rear aerofoil one that pops up at a certain speed?

Yeah, but you can put it up and down via a switch under the dash.
