Volkswagen Beetle
The Beetle’s retro design remains just as recognizable today, even though the car in its current form dates back to 2012. Still available in coupe and cabriolet configurations, the Beetle comes standard with a new 174-horsepower turbo engine. Various versions are offered, including the more robust-looking Dune edition. Starting at approximately $25,000, the Beetle Cabriolet is one of the most affordable convertibles currently offered on the Canadian market.
