2018 VW Beetle Coast Review - Its a Beetle

[@TheStraightPipes]

So, which one's cuter? Beetle or Mini Cooper? Mini Cooper JCW review coming up on Thursday!

[@Excite-XP]

Mini Cooper!

[@ecomasterster]

I would go for mini, but is not it more expensive?

[@YuriTereshyn]

but is it cuter

[@riverjones7205]

Mini Cooper by far!

[@MapleSyrpMaster]

TheStraightPipes I would totally take a mini

[@sundin57]

What an earth-shattering visor test...

[@WobblePizza]

Would be funny if they ripped a visor off by accident on one of these.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Your dream came true. Watch our gti review

[@sabrisellaouti7727]

A rear engine rear wheel drive Beetle is called a Porsche 911

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Sabri Sellaouti Hahah yeah

[@frank20x]

@ILUV2SK8 504 You know the comment has a historical background that makes it funny. Chill man and google who designed the very first one Beetle (Ferdinand Porsche)

[@hihellohahaha2029]

ILUV2SK8 504 jeeez, why so serious

[@NoName-nf5xl]

ILUV2SK8 504 Dude would you just please chill down?????

[@FlowmasterStang]

Frank Rodriguez Interesting. Never knew the beetle was related to porsche

[@WDS1937]

Concerning the question about the price paid for a "Beetle", I paid around $1900 for a new one! However, that was 1960 and it was a new 1960 model. It was my first new car after graduating from college!

[@zoeys3346]

Congrats! I've wanted a Bug since my parents got me the purple Barbie toy bug for my 3rd bday. Now I have a 2018 Coast, and love her absolutely. I call her Lola. ❤😊

[@TurboBaksteen]

You should do a special with Doug DeMuro!

[@anthonycbrown1952]

and Savage Geese The world of Auto Reviews on YT is morphing. I vote for a 2018 Suscriber Drive Special Event with all 3

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Anthony C Brown savage geese eh. Stay tuned 😉

[@tahsin28]

Shut up! Doug is the absolute worst car reviewer. Bt sadly he's got 20k likes on all his vids 😠

[@AirBudProMax]

Excited for the Savagegeese collab. Your enthusiasm and his soul crushing dryness would make a wonderful contrast.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Evan Andrews he's so savage

[@MinnesoTristan]

I bought the 2017 base model today and I'm picking it up on Saturday. First new car ever, so excited!!!

[@zmanqx4]

lol my girlfriend has a 2016/2017 denim edition convertible. Same wheels, replace seats with literal denim jean inserts (including jean pockets), heated seats, pretty much the same car. With the denim top and trunk spoiler, it looks like it's wearing a jean baseball cap. She has a turbo but like you said... not fast lol. Convertible can probably fit 1 box max so practicality is not there. So funny about the gloss black door sills, her car is white but still gets uncomfortably hot on a sunny day. I'd say this the better looking of the other gen Beetles. Great vid as always! Beetles cuter 100% P.S. SHE PAID LIKE $23K FOR HERS NEW! $27K??? THAT'S ABSURD

[@YuriTereshyn]

Vick Lagina please send pics of the denim. I had a denim couch once

[@zmanqx4]

I'll send it to you guys on instagram later when I get home, pockets and all!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Vick Lagina amazing. Had no idea that existed

[@_chan.burn.21_]

I actually have myself a Beetle, a 2015MY Classic Edition. It has the exact same rims as this car but the interior trim is done in the body color (mine's Reflex Silver Metallic) and it's got these sweet-looking seats with checkered cloth inserts and carmel brown leather bolstering and headrests, complete with creme and brown stitching all over the interior. It is such a sweet little car, such fun to drive and I always get compliments on it since I clean and detail it every month or two.

[@TheCubeIsIn]

Ah nostalgia. I miss mine! Bought a 8 month old Turbo with a 6MT with 2k miles for $15,000 USD back in 2013. Had all the same gripes though after living with it for 3 years. Always had to adjust volume with the steering wheel so the power logo would stay correct. I would burn my arm on occasion on the black door trim, and definitely had to wipe lotion off it too. Learned to do the underhand grab for the seatbelt, made life much easier. Did you guys ever have issues with the windows freezing during the test? Always had that issue every winter since the windows need to lower when opening to clear the seal.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+TheCubeIsIn Hahah that's amazing that you had the same gripes. No issues with the windows for us

[@sabrisellaouti7727]

My aunt had a Beetle convertible and during the winter the windows will freeze so it was hard to open the door, and I have a VW CC and it has frameless windows too and i have the same issue during the winter

[@ElectronikReviews]

Never did I expect to see a 50% visor test pass!

[@disinferno06]

I love how they're talking about how cold it is but Yuri is wearing a button-up haha. Great video as usual!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+disinferno06 its warm inside the car 😉

[@ChuckFranco]

I thought these guys were a joke the first time i saw their old video but man they're actually really good at reviewing! and the quality of their videos are so freaking good! I enjoy their reviews a lot

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Chuck Franco we're still a joke though. Just a better joke now

[@ChuckFranco]

ha! good one. Well i definitely subscribed and i've been binge watching you reviews for the past weeks. Keep uploading more :)

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Chuck Franco 2 per week!

[@ChuckFranco]

TheStraightPipes pls do the kia stinger!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Chuck Franco we already did!

[@sukhrajjhawar6644]

I found u guys 2 weeks ago on KZbin and I fan u guys doing a great job

[@jordanh.2998]

It looks like the licence plate says COLD. Which is accurate being in Ontario right now.

[@JoshuaSlosser]

That backup camera is amazing! Mine doesn’t have it but I’ll going to make sure my next one does! I’m eyeing the 2019 final edition!

[@kjchicago1]

This VW Beetle for 2018 is Spellbinding, Hypnotizing and Mesmerizing-This is Major, Real and Deep-Behold The Glory!

[@defib]

clever subliminal messaging on the license plate @ 1:38 😏

[@TheStraightPipes]

+defib there's another one too 😉

[@silasmcgee3647]

TheStraightPipes ?

[@BWG05]

at the start when they say its pretty cold it has cold on the license plate.

[@arasa8896]

1:07 :D OMG, YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER KZbin!!!

[@KarmaticEvolution]

The video follow along with your 2nd volume trick did not exactly follow the directions given, pedantic I know! Love the back and forth banter you guys have, very unique style that flows really well!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Andrew S definitely pedantic

[@hypno159753]

I thought the licence plate said "COLD" at first. Would've been very fitting for Canada right now

[@TheStraightPipes]

Haha yeah close enough

[@harrismi7]

Did you have a different car at 1:02 & 1:38 or is that camera magic?

[@YuriTereshyn]

harrismi7 the sun changed a bit and made it look sparklier

[@TheStraightPipes]

+harrismi7 camera magic license plates 😉

[@minhhoangngo5683]

I really love this review. This is one of my Dad's favorite car. Thank you guys, you're awesome!!

[@iknifeyousit]

Finally a car video, and no less Straight Pipes video, that my girlfriend and I can enjoy together! (Her dream car is a beetle)

[@TheStraightPipes]

Awesome. And if she also happens to like the Mini Cooper, that's coming up on Thursday

[@chuckles665._.5]

I really wanna get one of these newer ones, the body shape is closer to the originals and that makes me happy

[@SusanneMistric]

Love my 2018 Beetle Coast! (Daisy Bug) Grew up riding in a Beetle (14 years the SAME Beetle) Got my dream car at 61...and guys, I like it better than the ‘68 Camaro I had in the 80s!

[@ArvinCastro]

Hahaha, no more confusion on where the bell is at! ;)

[@matejajezdic]

7:13 I have the 2nd gen model and I agree 😊 Though I wouldn't mind driving this one with a manual transmission.

[@SteveGarfield]

Great review. Thanks for pointing out the volume knob! ;-) We drove this car in extremely windy conditions and it held the road great. I love the teal color. Apple CarPlay works really well. The rear seats don't lie totally flat like the did on the last model. Handles well.

[@PresidentJackBauer]

I forgot they still make this. And that beetle you want is a Porsche

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes it is. I do want a Porsche 😂

[@markt8041]

Good review, as usual by these guys. But a note on the sunroof - those shades that don't fully block the sun suck on hot days.

[@koushik..]

I got a 2013 beetle a couple of months back and absolutely love it..

[@mistertee5000]

Love the Beetle. Almost as much as the sun visor test!

[@myjeanification]

I went to Volkswagens Facebook page when they introduced the 2017 beetle without offering a manual transmission, I wasn't the only one lots of people still want manuals

[@siddheshgandhi7668]

OMG FIRSTSCHOMMENTTTT!!! I just wanted to say that I love you guys and thank you for making such fun car reviews. Your format is so novel and entertaining and your friendship is very endearing. Please come to India to check out our cars! It'll be a very fun mini series and an interesting contrast for you - diesel manual subcompacts everywhere! Happy new year and thanks for existing!!!!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks!

[@AR.4]

what happens if you combine yuri and jakubs faces??

[@TheStraightPipes]

We did a mashup, here you go: i.imgur.com/hES7D98.jpg

[@YuriTereshyn]

pretty accurate

[@MarkGaudie]

TheStraightPipes Brad Pitt 😂

[@og.takumi]

yukubs or jakuri ?

[@YuriTereshyn]

Long jakuri

[@Moisi547]

The beetle is a unique and legendary car

[@nodak81]

It *was* a unique and legendary car. The modern one is just a Golf in disguise.

[@bloodyredist]

Yup, they'll stop making them because it's a hard sell.

[@Nickoboss29]

@@nodak81 but still is better than the 90s one...

[@senpaigarr]

"here's a quirk.....are we allowed to use that word?" lol. I watch Doug all the time. I've just got into your channel and have put a lot of your stuff on my watch list. I have a lot to catch up on haha.

[@ubayyd]

God have I been waiting for a new Beetle review!

[@flurby_kirby7778]

I totally agree with Yuri on liking the retro beetles more. Currently the owner of a 01' GLS turbo beetle, and my friend has a tuned 03' turbo s with ~200hp now, both have auto-deploy spoilers which is totally unnecessary but awesome at the same time. I feel like at least Yuri would love to drive any of the retro beetles, but if Jakub was there doing a review would recommend at least a turbo GLS to somewhat please him in the handling and power department.

[@TheStraightPipes]

I’d love to drive some new beetles

[@flurby_kirby7778]

TheStraightPipes well if you ever come down to the Portland Oregon area for whatever reason I've got two waiting for you! (Unfortunately only in silver and black nothing too crazy like yellow or red.)

[@Imnotjoe2020]

Is a bummer that the beetle was discontinued here in brazil. For the price people've chosen the GTI instead. but we had the original beetle in production until 1994 so you can find the original (not the new beetle the 1950s one) in good shape. Which is better because it is manual AND has rear engine.

[@maik00979]

The cruise control controls are easy to use. I have those in my 2002 Polo. And the visor is just vw saving money. For example my car has no door sensor for the passenger side. So the interior lights only light up when the driver door is opened. That sensor cost extra.

[@wizardmix]

Fact -- I am the ex-owner of a previous generation New Beetle turbo and by folding down the passenger seat, I was able to fit an 8' longboard completely inside and go surfing AND the best thing about owning one was watching people punch each other in the arm as I passed by.

[@YuriTereshyn]

Evan J 😬

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Evan J amazing

[@e70_x5_guy4]

5:49 i agree with Jakub. This is an amazing list of cars that are gone

[@chrisperrywv]

So- I just rented a 2017 beetle and it didn’t feel stupid slow to me. That turbo was fun! I mean I also just tested a model 3 last week and it was like 3-4x quicker but I still had fun in this little bug.

[@truckerjames4749]

1:37 love the notifications bell icon on the registration plate

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

The temp gauge is shown at 10:18 or so. It's @the bottom right (4.5 deg.C.) of where the coolent tmp is located. Nice job though guys.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Huh

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

Thought you 2 were looking & wishing for an air temp. gauge.

[@TheStraightPipes]

No

[@MrPhilipp4u]

Im driving my moms 2003 Beetle 2.0 with 116hp in cybergreen. She paid like 5k for it and it is so much fun. You always meet new people because of the car, they also want to take photos with and of it or even want to take a ride. If you are a person who isn't that into conversations with strangers it's absolut the wrong car for you ^^ 116hp isn't that fast but it's perfect for learning to drive like in mine case. If you want a sports car buy a Porsche. My dream car is a 2018 Beetle R-Line but unfortunately VW stopped selling the coupé in Germany.

[@rajeshgowda9022]

They do make a rear wheel drive Beetle roadster, it's just called a Boxster lol.

[@ArthurEmbleton]

Mini and fiat 500 are still around

[@silasmcgee3647]

Arthur Embleton the HHR to be honest is just a Chevy PT Cruiser

[@eddygordo3736]

Arthur Embleton u

[@abolfans]

that cruise control is in VW more than 10 years and it works great

[@TheStraightPipes]

+master_unknown not all of the current models are like this. The having it on the steering wheel works much better

[@ChrisOh]

$27,000 WTH! Oh Canadian. Beetle is cuter. Kia Soul Turbo to drive everyday. I'm sure my would say Beetle. Just found out about you guys couple weeks ago. Love your show. Has to be the best car review show for me right now. Wish guys best of luck and lots of views.

[@ConLLee]

in that list of retro cars that have left you should of included the challenger as one that survived. its the beetle and the challenger not just the beetle but still dope

[@matthewlongtin4148]

Houndstooth for the win! I've always liked the R-Line trim. I wish they gave the Dune more ground clearance too.

[@anthonycbrown1952]

Yuri needs to break out the long sleeve shirts / thermals. The snow / ice and Yuri in short sleeves tells me HE IS A REBEL WITH A CAUSE. 2018 - A year of visor surprises

[@YuriTereshyn]

I have a few onesies

[@weirdshibainu]

The coast version, because you know, Germany is so well known for its surfing.

[@ZiiN20]

Make a video with Doug already..can't wait

[@jabiqq]

Please don't.

[@whitneyfan9019]

Love these versions of the beetle. I have a 2012 turbo.

[@kobe7808]

In Belgium you can get a temperture klok as an option

[@mikeyveloster7615]

8:58 when you think both of the visors are going to slide and then SURPRISE lol

[@PrashantSharmaCypher]

Hey guys, awesome review! May I add that I am indeed one of those guys with OCD that does the exact thing you did with the volume knob. I am a VW guy and reset the position especially when detailing the interior (almost every other day!) #fellowCanuck

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Prashant Sharma haha awesome

[@Gazonka]

You can get a manual in older beetle models I’ve seen plenty on a 2012 and 2013. Beyond that I have no idea

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Love that the 007 is still getting air time, Jakub :)

[@TheStraightPipes]

+David Bourne of course. It's pretty much my daily. We've got a watch giveaway coming soon :)

[@chandlerboyer9154]

The amount of devastation on jakubs face 😂

[@ashrafc7794]

That was a great vid and best visor test ever.Didn’t u leave out the Mini Cooper and fiat 500 as yet still existing retro cars?

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes we did miss those!

[@YuriTereshyn]

TheStraightPipes fiat is 2000's. Mini didn't stop production

[@ashrafulchowdhury5785]

Yuri Tereshyn My bad, I thought your point was that the beetle is the only running retro car

[@YuriTereshyn]

ashraful chowdhury all good. Technically ssr is 2003 but shhhhh haha

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Yuri Tereshyn good call

[@leensaif1409]

u guys are driving down lower base line in milton, i had to recognize that

[@jcollins2826]

The speechless response to the one-sided visor test was funny. You guys need a blooper reel.

Can't wait for reviewing Arteon Awesome channel guys👍🏼

[@scottbennett777]

You refer to your other videos about VW infotainment screen. I scrolled all your videos and cannot find it. Please reply with link(s). I'm having trouble getting volume through car (vs through phone) all the time, which I seek. (I have 2018 VW Beetle Coast 2.0 Turbo Edition Convertible, in same color as in this video, with white top.)

[@FLRSKLVR]

I like the retro wheels. This is going to be the last ''new beetle'' btw. The model has been discontinued.

[@bohrekshitij1353]

Love to see your videos... keep up the good work👍👍👍love from india..🇮🇳

This is some great content guys! Subscribed!😁

Please review civic 2.0 manual

[@coo2kachoo]

What’s more confusing Canadian vs US currency or slide visors only working on the driver side

[@TheStraightPipes]

+coo2kachoo definitely visors

[@DoctorChange106]

hmmm, visor RHside still confusing :D

[@bloodless653]

The cruise controls wouldn't bother me one bit, it's exactly like on my MK5 GTI.

[@henryrodier8024]

You must be blind the new beetle 97 thru 11 were peaked in the middle we have a 2013 with the 5 cylinder 5 speed manual so fun to drive

[@anthonycbrown1952]

So, when are we gonna see the 2018 Edition of: Winter Drifting - Yuri vs Jakub? I vote with a Kia Stinger!!!!!

[@YuriTereshyn]

Anthony C Brown tweet kiacanada I also vote stinger

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Anthony C Brown we are so down for this

[@mizaru84]

Haha u did exactly the same as me for my BMW 2AT volume nob. Leave it centered and only use the steering wheels vol control to change it.

[@MapleSyrpMaster]

You guys should do a review in Kingston

[@YuriTereshyn]

Nic Osh in the pen

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Nic Osh we drove through Kingston and stopped there during our Hyundai Ioniq Electric challenge. Watch the video!

[@MarkGaudie]

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!! Can you do a review on the brand new 2018 Nissan Leaf please please please???

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes, we will this year

[@KwasDriftTenGoku]

lmao at the sun visors haha >.

[@thoughtloop1737]

Beetle is more cute than the mini crapper!

[@edmaluf]

10 years ago vw had a 1.8 turbo with 180 hp. Now it's a 2.0 turbo with 174 hp. #movingbackwards.

[@crbb3099]

? No they didn’t. The 1.8 turbo had 150 hp, and wasn’t around anymore in 2008. The 2.0T took over with 200 hp. And the displacements don’t mean much nowadays anyway...I’m pretty sure the 1.8 and 2.0 are the same engines, just tuned differently.

[@edmaluf]

Costin B Yes, they did. Just search for a 2002 audi tt 1.8 turbo. Here it is: www.autoblog.com/buy/2002-Audi-TT-1.8L_180_HP__2dr_All_wheel_Drive_Quattro_Coupe/specs/

[@crbb3099]

edmaluf That’s not fair, that’s an Audi engine, used in a two door sports car..sure it’s derived from VW but it’s still an Audi. VW isn’t moving backwards, these engines are far more efficient and cleaner in every way, not to mention it doesn’t make sense to give a Beetle 250 hp.

[@edmaluf]

CRB B I see your point. I should have said the "vw group". Anyway, i just wanted to point out that 174hp in a 2 liter turbo engine is quite low. Beetle or not.

[@daniely30]

Guys please do a 340i review. You lack bmw reviews. Happy New Year. Keep it up.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Dan Y bmw reviews coming right up good sir

[@nabilm2941]

The 2000s Beetle was unreliable. Hope this one will prove itself otherwise as it also looks much better. I dig the retro rims. So unique and reminiscent of the first Beetle and Bus. Yuri, it is freezing in Ontario, what's with the summer outfit?? Hawaii is ancient history!!😂

[@YuriTereshyn]

Nabil Matar coast edition yuri

[@nabilm2941]

Yuri Tereshyn hahaha

[@dhulkiflmcknight2275]

I like color. Its unique. And the wheels.

[@themacintoshnerd]

Can we have a burnout video with the beetle please?

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Matthew McCreary you'll have to ask Volkswagen for that one

[@themacintoshnerd]

Oh ok

[@Benjamin-sn5cw]

I like that this thing still exists, but i'm not into 'cute' cars so it's not for me but another awesome vid guys!

[@LookingGlass24]

@TheStraightPipes I enjoyed your review. First time here. Funny too. I was laughing out loud! Say, do you happen to know when the Beetle Final Edition is coming to the US? I need a date, if you have one by chance. I’m planning on picking up the latest Beetle this fall. Dealerships aren’t saying much. Appreciate any info you may have. 👍🏼

[@CT37BN]

Volkswagen say they are going to discontinue Beetle.. do think there is still a lot of life with this car especially now with the transitioning to electric power. And if this had EV tech VW can actually go back to Beetle's original platform which is rear engine/RWD ( batteries ) or an option of all-wheel-drive electric. This car needs the Porsche 911's more rounded side mirrors to gel with it's looks.. and would be nice if the front turn signals were placed on top of the fenders ( like original Bug ) but be aero-designed.

[@jtkent28]

Wait what? You can’t buy a manual beetle in any trim level?? That sucks.. I’d have thought if you could buy any VW in Manual the beetle would be one.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+jtkent28 exactly!

[@DwaineStroud]

I'm a new subscriber (and bell clicker), and I can't get enough. Thanks, guys. Just for fun, you should put a link in the description to a Canadian to U.S. Dollar calculator for all the complainers. :-)

Nothing will EVER be cuter than the Beetle!

[@paistekid]

Curious to know mileage to the gallon, any issue after 100,000 miles, given it’s an imported car is it even remotely possible for your local mechanic to fix this thing or do you have to bring it to the dealership which will cost you an arm and a leg (I learned the hard way with my BMW)!

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

MSRP $24,865 USD with "lighting package" (only one available)
