2004 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible
Date in fleet: April 12-26 As-tested: $26,730 Powertrain: 1.8-liter turbo I4; fwd, five-speed manual Output: 150 hp @ 5800 rpm, 162 lb-ft @ 2200-4200 rpm Curb weight: 3166 pounds
GRITZINGER: It might be the first out of the starting gate, but by summer the convertible comparisons will be inevitable: PT Cruiser, Mini or this. Some early conclusions. The PT is the most utilitarian, but that big sports bar takes getting used to. The Mini, with cool gadgetry like the rear tailgate, is good-looking top up or down. That brings us to the Beetle, which seems to fit somewhere in between. As a former Beetle owner who loved the go-kart feel of the old car, I think VW missed the mark by not keeping the New Beetle tight and true to the original. There's fun in here, but not enough to put it at the top of the list.

LUU: I'm impressed with the effort put into the interior. It uses much better plastics and is a big improvement over the Sonoma, but there are still some cheap details.
I moved a large TV in this truck, and for that sort ...

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I need some serious help. I am 23 years old and 5 feet, 1 inch tall. I weigh 190 pounds. I have had this weight problem since I was 12. I am sure I've tried every diet around. I figure all that's left for me is surgical removal of the mouth. I have never been active in sports, and

The MazdaSpeed 6 looks downright menacing from the front, but if I were going to unload $30K on a 3600-pound hunk of rolling steel, it would be for an Infiniti G35. Dan Manes, San Diego Mazda is definitely on the right track with the new 6, but at more than 3600 pounds, it seems to cater more to
