Since the market was introduced super economical BlueMotion modification of the new Volkswagen Passat, the German company decided to introduce us to the final technical details of the car, whose price in Germany starts at 26,450 EUR. You already know that Volkswagen Passat BlueMotion is equipped with 1.6-liter TDI engine whose power is 105 h.p. and maximum torque reaches 250 Nm. But now we understand that the average fuel consumption in the sedan is only 4.1l/100km and in the station wagon – 4.3l/100km. The excellent fuel efficiency is due to the presence of start / stop system and reduced drag through improved aerodynamics, low ground clearance and low rolling resistance tires. In terms of dynamics, Passat BlueMotion can not boast of enviable qualities, because it accelerates from 0-100 km/h for 12.2 sec and develops a maximum 196 km/h, but on the whole this car travels 1700 km for a single charge.

There are few models of car out there that can be considered truly iconic, but few can deny that the Volkswagen Beetle, the brilliant car from German firm Volkswagen, is one of those cars. The Beetle could realistically claim to be one of the most famous, if not the very most famous, car in the world and a host of celebrity owners and even a film series (who could forget Herbie?) have helped the model on the way.
Since the new Beetle came out in the late 1990s, there have been hundreds of thousands of great Beetles driven out of showrooms and into the used car market, so there are plenty of bargains out there for anyone who wants to pick up a Beetle secondhand. This is often the best way to purchase cars as you can get a great bargain if you make sure you follow certain tips. Here are a few things you should do when shopping for your Volkswagen Beetle.
Research – This is the most important part. Always make sure that you do the research before you buy because then you know you are heading into the purchase with the best possible knowledge about what you are buying. Check on forums and in magazines to see if any particular versions of the Beetle have any mechanical issues and just read around the car in general.
Prices – Check what the going rate for a brand new Beetle is and you will know where to begin from.
Test Drive – Test drive the car for at least ten miles to see how it performs. There is nothing worse than getting a car and having problems with it just because you haven’t tried it yourself.
Insurance – An obvious one but so, so important: make sure you have full, valid insurance before you drive your fantastic new Beetle away.
And last of all, have fun. Buying a car should be an experience!
