Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet (convertible) 2013 review - CarBuyer

[@gratigo1]

I really feel bad for you. To read some of these comments. It's pretty sick, it's a car review, not pornography. Carbuyer should disable comments on future videos, I feel sickened by the inappropriate things that are being said.

[@PC_27]

I asked on your site for this review only 2 weeks ago, this'll be my next car. thank you! ;)

[@mjp29]

yep, rear seats are good for occasional use - like around town or 15 minute rides. Certainly wouldn't want to be back there for a long(er) trip.

[@milosilic23]

An interesting review. I have one complaint. You guys need to put up videos more often, we need our dose of Carbuyer :)

[@vBellzS]

I've got this car with cream soft top! Drives like a dream and during summer it was so much fun!

[@Kev50027]

What's the point in a convertible without wind? That's what makes a convertible so much fun and gives you that feeling of freedom. When you're surrounded by windows and deflectors, you lose that.

[@clarencefreeman7965]

VW Beetle + Rebecca Jackson = cuteness confirmed

[@josiahthibodeaux]

I’ll second that. I’m up here watching and enjoying videos of cars I don’t even care about.

[@martynmiles112]

What’s the previous model like ? Does it have a wind deflector ? I can’t afford this model...

[@AndresSalazarAutos]

Built in Mexico, sold all around the world, I remember seating in the back seat of the last gen Beetle cabrio and it was impossible to ride in it! this seems to be much better for rear passengers!

[@revampted]

Becca, you made my day.

[@WarblesOnALot]

@magna59 G'day Bob, thanks for steering me here... That "Wind Deflector" is a species of Turbulator. It's a Fence, to hold a bubble of Still-Air behind the Windscreen... Without the Fence, the Slipstream over the windscreen would curve down between the Front Seats & at head-height... With the Fence there, the Slipstream goes straight over the "static bubble" & all the "buffet" (Turbulent Drag) pulls on the Fence, not on front Seatbacks & occupants... Ciao !

[@Shoki05]

Love the retro look works very well, well done VW!

[@EzzyMo]

What a great little car! I don't usually care for drop tops but this is fun

[@JellySkulls]

I really want one but is it true they have really bad blind spots?

[@jubijubito7422]

Perfect summer car for me , loving it so much im starting saving for it as of NOW :D

[@ArturoPerez-si2xk]

Mine is Volkswagen Eos, but this one looks good too

[@mariadelosangelesasenjogue8728]

que tal salió el beetle? si te gusto?

[@janmunster1]

Very good review!

[@travisbutterfly]

what is the wind deflector for? can someone please explain for me?

[@jbm0866]

In a normal car wind flows over the windshield, follows the roof to the back of the car and onto the trunklid area. In a convertible it flows over the windshield as normal, but with no roof the air drops down about where the rear seats are and causes turbulence behind the driver and passenger. The windscreen thing diffuses the air and reduces turbulence.

[@travisbutterfly]

@@jbm0866 yo 9 years lmaooo. Thank you anw

[@Milo-Mike]

​@@travisbutterflydamn, 10 years ago, but still you replies. Truly pure Determination

[@binzhao7445]

I have not seen many videos about Acura. Is it because Acura is not available in Europe?

[@crashlove768]

what it does is that the wind goes upward the windshield and creates a wind spiral in the cabin (if you have ever ben in convertile you know that the wind inside goes to the front and thats because of it),the wind deflector disturbs that wind spiral, making the air coming from the windshield go over it and not enterin the cabin and that makes it also less noisy

[@GRAFHC]

Uh, sure she's pretty, but falling in love with someone you've never actually met... what that tells me is YOU need to get outside and spend time in the real world. The internet is not the right place for you.

[@colors6692]

Who are you talking to? LOL!

[@theodore998]

Rebecca fighting the pervs! mentioning the 6 ft dad as back up :D

[@qkrtkdqja]

how long does it take to make one of these review videos?

[@Michelotttesds]

WANT TO SEE YOU EXPLAINING THE VW Scirocco R

[@Ribeirasacra]

In nearly 400 videos not one of the presenters has done a Woollard. If you do not know what it is, please google Wooollarding. It is even taking off in Germany now.

[@dolbinau]

I like it with the top down...the car looks pretty good with the top down too

[@Danial0152]

Rebecca should buy this Beetle. Suits her so perfectly

[@Mrfantasmas]

why did volkswagen implement what they messed up on the audi a4 interior. armrest design over on of the cup holder, and also every time you pull the E-brake you knock the armrest up? 3:10

[@mechmove]

I saw identical car in the VW showroom floor, really cool car, but VW needs to get their reliability factor up.

[@Bmwx5fan9]

How does that wind deflector work when you have passengers in that back

[@MrSuneF]

Very cute, I'd have this over the weird looking Mini Cooper any day, but the Audi a3 cabriolet is a tough competitor. The tiny boot is really the compromise with these cars.

[@dariusstancioiu7662]

+Supremo Audi A3 cabriolet isn't a competitor because Volkswagen owns Audi so they are still getting the money

[@scottsherman7069]

+Darius Stancioiu It is a competitor. Just because VW owns Audi doesn't mean their cars do not compete with each other.

[@dariusstancioiu7662]

Scott Sherman Yeah, you're right. Thanks!

[@MarksmanGamingVideos]

i'm not sure, but i think its because the wind goes more over the car than in the car. i think it's the same thing when you stand in from of a wall and the wind blows toward you, but i could be wrong

[@MrCircle4you]

wind deflectors are stupid... nothing better in a convertible than a good backwind... If you're planning to use the wind deflector .maybe better off with a sunroof.

[@TheLordOfNothing]

Yeah, I own a hardtop new beetle. my profile picture was a stock photo I found in the internet. I don’t really like convertibles.

[@milosilic23]

Didn't know about that :) Nice, they are one amongst the best car reviewers on the internet :)

[@santaaugustino1]

She is so a pretty, charmed young lady

[@cosmosquiggg]

Yay she looks good in that

[@ElReyDominicano612]

Tell me why brits always leave the windows up wit the top down

[@emjayay]

Don't forget an Imperial gallon is 1.2 US gallons.

[@renuagarwal8984]

why is mat not uploading the video

[@Soovoyage]

Fun and interesting review

[@timobac1]

Looks good!

[@Maurazio]

diesel on a cabriolet, SRSLY?

[@NubletPie278]

How can it deflect the wind? It's behind you. Or is it supposed to deflect wind when reversing? Isn't the wind the whole point in a convertible anyway?

[@jbm0866]

It just reduces the turbulence that occurs behind the front seats in most convertibles. Even with that thing in place and windows up there will be plenty of fresh air, difference is you'll be able to talk to your passenger without shouting.

[@shroomyesc]

I would want one of these but these have kept their value waaay too well. I live in Finland and they never sold these here so I'd have to get one from Germany and even the earliest ones are still 12k which is waay too much whereas you can get a good same year Beetle coupe for like 5k.

[@bliglum]

I like the wheels.. Retro, yet modern.

[@Cybernezz]

I was expecting a VW Beetle cabriolet review, what a strange video - I didn't see 1 VW in that video. No complaints though :D

Whatever you're doing Rebecca it's working.

[@fouzi39889]

With the wind deflector the air go straight to the back and move on but without it the air would get inside the car and mess everything up like your hair and stuff,that's why rebacca's hair is not moving because she is putting it on,i hope you can understand me my english is not that great :p

[@stealthmintblue]

Great review! I love her accent and she really cute!!

[@iwantsquareballoons]

is it "coop" or "coo pay"?

[@edisonsun21c]

they use gallons in the UK?

[@arenalife]

Yes, Imperial Gallons (4.55 litres), not US ones (3.8 litres), but only when talking about economy, we buy it in Litres

[@nimsocutt]

And the passengers sit under the wind deflector? :)))

[@Silverlane.]

love the car and the agents accent

[@2012daffyduck]

she is just too adorable!

[@WeItenspinner]

That is your opinion. I use to own just one car, so it should be fun and useful at the same time.

[@yournemesis2454]

Its been 9 years and i come back time to time to see this review just to see this beautiful woman. I will be back again in a month or so.

[@MigV40]

Stop being so creepy

[@edubs779]

It's not just the car that has head turning looks

[@tbzeking]

The return of the Banana !

[@VTECheart]

Due to boring facts about air pressure the air that blows over the top of the screen curls back under itself. The screen stops that air from coming into the cabin from behind, reducing buffeting.

[@santaaugustino1]

the car is cute, and the young lady is so cute. I love both

[@hernandezrivas]

GORGEUS......BECKY!! OMG!! I WANT.......HER!!

[@devilinthedetailers7661]

Curb your thirst

[@thihal123]

I don't like the front style of the car, but the interior and rear is quite good!

[@calaiscruiser]

Strangely enough it actually looks like a nice car! The new shape Beetle is better than its ever been and if I was either a woman or gay i'd probably buy one but seeing that im neither of the two then I guess that's not going to happen! ;)

[@Bravo21]

Nice, my Golf Clubs will fit and there is room for a Convertible in the Garage.

[@jbm0866]

I would test your clubs with this car before buying one..the trunk is tiny and so is the pass-through even with the rear seats folded. If I had this car I know I'd mostly fill the trunk with one decent size roller bag, the rest would have to sit in the backseats...still in the upright position though.

[@dmthinker]

You turn heads for all the right reasons.

[@alfu8868]

You look amazing!!

[@pedrof830]

the perfect car for England's always raining weather!

[@sinanalhamdani9316]

After watching this video, I m in love if Corse not with the car !!!

[@MrEiman1207]

Brilliant color!! Love ut

[@sanilaca]

Its been a week since they have uploaded

[@Arkhangael]

Quel bonheur que cette video

[@jbm0866]

I love how the British avoid calling an actual windscreen (screen thing behind the front seats) a windscreen! It's transparent for more than visibility reasons, it reduces turbulence by diffusing the air through a screen...same principle as a screen door or window screen on your house let some but not all the breeze inside. I'd say a solid piece of glass in front of your face "shields" from all wind..and if it doesnt you need a new one😂😂 While I'm on the subject, boot is the style of shoe our lovely presenter was wearing in this video whereas "trunk" goes back to the early days of motoring where storage space was literally a wooden travel trunk (chest) strapped to the rear of the car. Bonnet vs hood is a wash since both are head coverings, but one is a bit more masculine than the other.😂 /rant

[@archiecrowder1237]

She isn't "avoiding" calling it a windscreen, it just makes no sense, "windscreen" is defined as "the window at the front of a car".

[@jbm0866]

@@archiecrowder1237 I just explained to you in detail why "windshield" makes more sense. The other differences don't bother me as much, but as someone who grew up in the American southwest with screen doors (installed in front of the actual house door) and screens on my bedroom window (keeps bugs out while allowing the breeze to flow freely) I have very different ideas about what a "screen" is. When I hear the word "windscreen" my mind automatically pictures a piece of steel mesh in front of me, not glass.😊

[@Boodieman72]

Guess you can't sit in the back and have the wind thing install.

[@albelba]

ok so you cannot sit 4 people when using the wind deflector.Nice

[@nuoveconsapevolezze]

the best review of this beautiful girl!:)

[@sorenslothe]

I liked the name tag in the bottom better. Not as intrusive because it doesn't block the presenters face.

[@SnazzyCH1]

Racing driver - petrol head - cute girl = dream woman :)

[@SornGeorge]

One thing you didn't mention is that nor the build quality nor the cabin materials are on the same level as in the golf which is a bit of a disappointment.

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

Damn, this woman is so attractive!

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

With all due respect, you must be one of three things: -Blind -Gay -Troll :)

[@wesleyhavi7307]

Warren Buitendag , yea, I guess he's a gay troll

[@yournemesis2454]

Warren Buitendag yeah he is a blind gay troll

[@fatnstupidstreams5959]

Warren Buitendag ahem

[@gulperiates2280]

I want this car soooo bad!

[@sohowsoon6652]

reply

[@wparo]

Noone has ever thought about inventing a one touch button that folds/unfolds the roof??? Why do I have to always hold the button like an idiot for half an hour until it shuts! Especially that it is designed to be operated whilst driving for up to 31miles an hour!!!!

[@mrkongsimr]

Becky dahling the reason youre not there any more is DIESEL ENGINES , I miss you , where are you ????

[@franciscadavies]

sputnic she is on a channel called telegraph cars

[@deepakm139]

Car n Beauty both r Stunning😂

[@RyuJiw0n]

Gawd. she's so classy

[@philipgrundemar9028]

Awesome!

[@siogyumolcs]

test the 2013 cr-z

[@SamIsTheStig]

Really good review. And although I don't wish to sound like everyone else who comments on Rebecca's videos, a rather nice bottom too.

[@ejb_92]

Less videos probably due to both Rebecca and Mat planning/filming their new TV show, I Want That Car :)

[@NeonLuvBar]

it depends if you're American or English

[@Rage4Liberty]

Sarcasm?

[@zarys76]

really nice car :) at the same time too expensive for me..

[@alarmedd]

I soo want this as my first car

[@bagster60]

Good short review. Shame about all tne desperate Dan's on here though who can't keep their minds on the review

[@sasserevssa]

0:36 great chock

[@abcman3000]

and it looks a 100 times better than the mini convertible

[@miletanikolic3562]

She is very careful in driving and you must not disturb her

[@Nyx1us]

her boots color matching the car very nice

[@chryschrysostomou5392]

...the Mini is cramped and has nowhere near the air of a comfortable cruiser. There is only one choice and that is the Beetle!

[@Madmonkeyitch]

Lookin good.

[@hisbabyf]

I have this in the coupe version and I really regret not waiting for the convertible. However, materials used are cheap and a let down from VW. Doesnt feel the price you pay for at all

[@JurgenDX]

I don't know why everyone hates this car,it looks terrible in that color sure,but in black or red i think it's cute :P
