In some ways, the current Beetle is nothing like the original whose spirit it tries to conjure: It’s a much larger – and much heavier – car, for openers. 1,500 pounds heavier, at least. Almost a foot longer, overall. It is also, let’s face it, a much nicer car – as far removed from the ’73 Super Beetle I once drove as a gold dollar is from a slip of Federal Funny Money. But one thing remains the same – though not in the same way: The 2014 Beetle TDI will cost you a lot less to drive than something like my old ’73 Super Beetle. The latter was cheap to buy, true – but its best-case mileage was only 28 MPG on the highway. The ’14 Beetle TDI gives you 41 MPG. Plus some other things, too.
