Let’s look at a Volkswagen BugI would like to purchase this

vehicle because it is a small and stylish car. It also has a sunroof

which everyone needs. It comes in many different colors to choose

from.

The safety rating of the bug is four stars. Below are some of the important safety features this car has:

Crash response systemCrash optimized front endFour airbagsElectronic stability control

Technology and entertainment features of the Bug

The Bug is equipped with lots of great technology and entertainment. Listed below are some of its features:

• Touch screen sound system• Ipod cable• Touchscreen navigation• Bluetooth

These features are important to me because while I am driving I would not want to reach

down to turn a knob for the radio. A touch screen navigator and radio is much easier. Bluetooth

would make it easier to talk on the phone without having to hold a cell phone.
