The 2012 Volkswagen New Beetle ranks 30

If you like standing out from the crowd and have a soft spot for retro styling, you'll appreciate the fun driving dynamics and playful appearance of the Volkswagen New Beetle. However, this VW is relatively expensive for a small car. Limited cargo space and mediocre fuel economy are also drawbacks.

Meanwhile, Suzuki's latest generation of its Jimny compact car boasts of several interesting features. The key feature of the Jimny is being highly user friendly. It's built both for mild and rough road. Its power steering is very convenient for tight manoeuvres. It also has strong brakes on all 4 wheels and the disc brakes have a large diameter. Suzuki Company also installed an LSPV (Load Sensing Proportioning Valve) on the Jimny to prevent the rear wheels to lock prematurely during sudden braking. This serves as a good safety precaution if the vehicle is fully loaded. However, there are not much interesting features in the interior of the Jimny. It is very ordinary in the inside just like other compact cars. The shape of the Jimny's face also creates a lot of air-drag during high speeds. It is not an aerodynamics type of vehicle unlike the New Beetle from VW. The Jimny costs around $17,000.
