2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo Convertible
2013 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo convertible - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
This is the car to get if your driving partner desperately wants a Beetle Convertible and you have a need for speed.

There's always a bit of a numbers game at Automobile when you're handed the keys to a convertible in the throes of winter. We've learned that 32 degrees F is the point at which it becomes inadvisable to lower your soft-top. Moisture in or on the top can freeze while the top is stowed, damaging it when you stretch everything out again, so we try to get our top-down fixes only above that number. Thankfully, the Beetle Turbo comes with heated seats and a wind deflector. I packed a pair of gloves and a puffy winter coat for my drive, which took place when it registered 34 degrees F in Ann Arbor. Once I found the power top button (behind the Bluetooth controls at the top of the windshield, out of a tall person's line of sight), and erected the plastic wind deflector (which took me, um, a few minutes), I was off.
