Of my rich tapestry of friends, one of my favourites works as a salesman at our local Volkswagen dealer. He's not my favourite because I went to school with him - because I didn't. I rarely nip out for a pint with him and he doesn't participate in football which is where I recruit the majority of my mates. He does however have a very large feather in his cap which demands attention - the fact he works at a Volkswagen dealer that allows him to drive a string of the very latest German metal.

He's got a pretty good track record of what he's 'test driven' too. There was the turbo'd EOS which although is a convertible, is manly enough thanks to the riot going on under the bonnet that we looked heterosexual. There was the beach trip with some bikini clad lasses in a special edition Polo that masqueraded as a 4x4 and ended up beached on a sand dune and the fact he lovingly waxes his Corrado seemingly every day makes it impossible not to feel drawn towards the VW badge.

My trust in his judgement was severely dented this week however when two of us were recruited by him to witness his latest test drive. I've been in a VW Beetle in the past, all driven by women and all with a tall roof that not only provided ample headroom, but also hid who I was from the watching world. Imagine then, my face when Volkswagen-dealer-friend turns up in a convertible VW Beetle in off-white - with the roof down. Essentially it looked as though he was driving a giant pearl.

One feature that did take my fancy though was the roof. Despite it being electric, it didn't fold away in an overly extravagant manner, but merely rested on the boot. I doubt it does much for aerodynamics but it instantly made the Beetle reminiscent to a classic Porsche 911 Cabriolet and that's no bad thing. Of course unlike the old Beetle and the 911, the engine is now in the correct place under the bonnet.

Whilst I'm not an old-Beetle fanatic I don't frown upon those who worship them - of which there are many. Despite knowing the extent of this affection, it's the amount of looks the 'new' version still gets despite the design being nearly ten years old that astounds me. I've travelled around either testing or being the passenger in a multitude of cars and none have had the nods of approval the giant pearl had. Of course that's not to say that three men in any form of girly drop-top wouldn't get starred at.

So let's address the styling then. Unless you've been living in a dingy at sea for the last ten years, you'll know that the new Beetle is curvy, chunky and not a million miles away from the shape of the original. It's cuddly and cute and the most womanly of vehicles on the road today. The front looks like a happy, smiley face and the back looks like...well, a happy smiley face. The symmetry of the lines is simple but effective, with the identical front and rear wheel arches joined together by the curve of the roof. It's one of the most recognisable car silhouettes ever - along with once again, the Porsche 911.

Despite it being girly, the roof and simple lines made such an impression on me I had to book in for a proper test drive. Although I've seen countless Beetles, it took the convertible to make me see what I'd been missing all these years. The drive is good, despite the Beetle being a heavy car (even more so with the safety reinforcements in the convertible) and the 1.8T engine shifted me along at a decent rate. The Beetle is not the most practical of cars, however if you view it as a coupe (which it essentially is) rather than a hatchback you'll be more than happy.

After all, the new Beetle was basically a styling exercise that has turned out to be a roaring success. I mean what other car comes with a flower in a vase on the dashboard?! Your Volkswagen dealer can get you a new one relatively quickly, however the second-hand market tells you everything you need to know about owning a Beetle - you'll struggle to get hold of one. It really is the Marmite of the motoring world, those that hate it stay away, those that buy one are so in love they'll never part.

As for me, I hate Marmite, but I love the Beetle.

Volkswagen is a legendary automotive brand that has spanned decades worth of superior and uniquely crafted vehicles. Though the design and overall appearance leans to the minimalist approach, there is nothing low key on its built-in assembly systems. Volkswagen units are undoubtedly ensured of sophisticated engineering, which then results to absolute performance and reliability. The golden saga of Volkswagen actually originated from the European part of the continent, influenced no less by the notorious Adolf Hitler. During those early years in Germany, life for most people was not as rewarding. And even though modes of transportation were already becoming an important aspect in society, only a privileged sector had enough funds to acquire one. As a remedy, Hitler sought the assistance of then automotive engineer Ferdinand Porsche to design a quality yet affordable car for the common people of Germany. Thus, the “Volkswagen” was conceptualized, as the ultimate “people’s car” model.

Today, Volkswagen has developed renowned and outstanding lines in the forms of the Volkswagen Beetle, VW Golf, VW Jetta, VW Passat, VW Touareg, VW Rabbit, VW Polo, and VW Corrado, among others. Volkswagen has also acquired a fleet of prestigious brands under its wing, namely the Audi, Skoda, and Lamborghini. Conversely, superior vehicles of this range wouldn’t have been possible without superior VW parts cleverly forged together to make up the automotive assembly of these cars. Indeed, VW parts are the building blocks that form quality vehicles Volkswagen is known for. Such top VW parts include the high-tech turbocharged engine, grilles and tailpipes framed and tipped in chrome, standard or round headlamps, trunk, fuel injectors, radiator cooling fans, car doors, anti-lock brakes, power door locks, self-dimming mirrors, and a slew of other devices. The interior and exterior parts of the Volkswagen model are essential in order to maintain the comfort and style that has been painstakingly worked over by VW car manufacturers. Even more vital are the VW parts employed in the various assembly systems, as these controls the optimum performance of the unit itself.

Thus, every effort should be given in the proper care of one’s Volkswagen auto parts. Regular checking of parts and car performance should be followed to ensure early detection of trouble. Volkswagen, as well, has made itself quite available in supplying Volkswagen auto parts needed by its consumers. This would include the different categories in the market, such as the Volkswagen replacement parts, aftermarket parts, OEM parts, performance parts, or even used parts. Volkswagen has also instilled a system of available parts by specific model such as VW Golf Parts, VW Beetle Parts, and many others. And with the Volkswagen’s openness for individuality and customization, various Volkswagen parts have also been made available in a variety of sizes, colors, designs, makes, and finishes.
