The 2005 version of the Volkswagen Beetle is the upgraded version of the 1998 edition, which obviously came with a large number of improvements and advanced features.
For example, Volkswagen equipped it with an MP3 player, a gadget which was initially an optional feature, while the turbocharged 1.8 liter four cylinder version of the Beetle has a six-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, the 2005 Beetle provides advanced safety as the side-impact airbags, the ABS and the daytime running lights are now standard features. Visually, the model remained quite the same, with the exception of the bumpers and new rims.
