    with 2013 already seeinganadditional fourpro-

    perties sold.

    The end of the business rescue process has

    also resulted in new ownership of the estate,

    which will allow Pearl Valley to continue with

    business as usual under the successful leader-

    ship of general manager, Gawie Marx.

    The business rescue process has facilitated

    the successful restructuring of the companys

    affairs to ensure a sustainable long term exis-

    tence, says Marx.

    Pearl Valley Golf Estates has also appointed

    PamelaWarringtonas thesalesand marketing

    manager who will focus on corporate, marke-

    ting and sponsorship objectives. Warrington

    joins the recently appointed events manager,

    BernadineCoetzee, topresenta flagshipexperi-

    enceforgolfandbanquetingeventsattheestate.

    laus and opened in 2003, Pearl ValleyGolf Esta-

    tes was named best new golf course of the year

    in 2005, 3rd best Golf Course in SouthAfrica by

    Golf Digest in 2011, a five-star experience by

    Compleat Golfer in 2011 and Best Conditioned

    Golf Course in theWesternCape byGolf Digest

    in 2012.

    Apart fromits internationally-renownedgolf

    course, Pearl Valley also offers self-catering ac-

    vel or stay-over conference accommodation. It

    includes activities beyond the green, such as a

    oneoftheworldsmostsuccessfulvehi-

    cles, racking upmillions of sales in its

    original, basic shape. Butmuch like its fel-

    low sales record holders, on top of being

    rather common, the Beetle always left me

    completely cold and disinterested.

    The New Beetle appeared in 1997 but was

    simplytooroundandcutetobetakenseriously.

    Hardened Beetle enthusiasts shot it down as a

    miserable fake because it was based on a Golf

    4 and abandoned all the originals trademarks:

    air cooled, rear-engined, rear-wheel-drive and

    above all, affordability.

    Despite all this, the new iteration appealed

    toenoughpeopleworldwidetorackupjustover

    amillion sales. Yet again, I wasnt one of them.

    So youll excuse my scepticism when my first

    test car for 2013 turned out to be a Beetle.

    A short stint in a higher-spec model at the

    end of last year already left me impressed but

    puzzlingis thatyourenowlookingat theentry-

    level, bog-standardversionwith a 1.2-litre (yes,

    one point two) engine.

    It didnt stop there. Friends and family who

    described the previous Beetles withwords like

    meh or eww were floating anywhere be-

    tween excited curiosity and gushing admira-

    tion. Volkswagen can rest assured that their

    I didnt hear a single criticism in seven days.

    dashboard, door panels and seats. However,

    looking at the new cars shape reveals inspira-

    cute roundness plus a few dollops of muscle.

    The brochure even says its a boy!

    Der neue Kfer is far from intimidating or

    nasty but a lick of darkpaint should benefit the

    pop a bit more. As this is a niche market and

    lifestyle car Iwould evengo for a freakycolour,

    nothing less daring than red.

    This would mean that, at least in Design

    trim,youwouldalsohaveafreakishlycolourful

    interior. Our specimen had matching powder

    blue paint across its entire dashboard, now

    featuring the old Beetle cubby hole with not

    a vase in sight. The panel continues on top

    of both doors and into the rear of the vehicle.

    All leather seats (R8 600 optionon thismod-

    el) also received a splash of blue, as did parts

    of the steering wheel. This car also featured

    hdd/navigation (R18 000), parking sensors

    andtyredeflationwarning (R4800), bluetooth

    (R2 000), xenon headlights (R8 200) and a de-

    tailed on-board computer with water and oil

    temperature, among others.

    As detailed and intuitive as the navigation

    was, I would rather pocket the cash or spend

    it onabigger soundsystem(R8000), a sunroof

    (R8 800) or 18-inch wheels (just R3 500). From

    what I can tell, it would also bewise to invest

    in a service or maintenance plan. That and

    bluetooth should be free, VW. Sies on you!

    As for those optional fat wheels, you may

    want to shy away from them if you enjoy a

    smooth, comfortable ride.This 1.2-litremodel

    rides on tyres with bigger sidewalls which

    help theGolf 7 platform to providewonderful

    ride comfort and a modicum of handling fun

    before over-steer sets in.

    At this point youre probably expectingme

    to tell you that the 1,197cc engine isweak, un-

    responsive and boring. Please believe me

    when I type that the direct opposite is true

    this diamond of a motor is very gutsy and,

    being mated to a six-speed manual gearbox,

    a hoot to drive.

    Major speed freaks could be disappointed

    as 0-100 km/h takes 11 seconds and top speed

    is 180km/h, yet the tiny engines mid-range

    punch is phenomenal. It runs out of ideas be-

    low 1500rpmor above 5000rpmbutwill eager-

    ly surge forward in any gear thanks to maxi-

    mum outputs of 77kW (105hp) or 175Nm.

    Fuel consumption is supposed to be just

    5.9L/100km but we averaged around

    7.5L/100kmfromthe55Ltank.Othernotewor-

    thy dimensions are the 310L boot which ex-

    tends to 905L with the rear 60/40 split seats

    folded down. Rear passenger room is a little

    tight though.This Beetle also has excellent

    safety equipment and the obligatory comfort

    features at a price of just R235 400. Thanks to

    that lively little engine, I advocate the 1.2 TSi

    as the best Beetle model out there. For the

    same price you could get an entry-level Golf

    or a big Polo. I know which one Id take

    Major speed freaks could be disappointed as 0-100 km/h takes 11 seconds and top speed is

    180 km/h, yet the tiny engines mid-range punch is phenomenal. PIC: GALIMOTO
