Finding a vehicle that's not only stylish on the outside, offers great efficiency, and performs well on the streets of the greater Boston area are things we all look for when we're in the market for a new car. But what about comfort? You are going to be spending most of your time driving inside the vehicle, after all. That's where publications like Ward's are helpful with their list of "10 Best Interiors." And which new Volkswagen model cracked the list? That would be the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.

Assessed on a variety of categories, like convenience, technology features, and value, Ward's determined the Beetle ranked among the most comfortable thanks to its host of amenities inside. There's technology like Bluetooth, iPod connectivity ports, and touchscreen navigation. In terms of comfort and style, you'll find a color-matching dashboard, and steering wheel that has much more functionality than simply turning the wheels.

Safety features are also play an important part in the rankings, and with Electronic Stability Control and Intelligent Crash Response Systems, the new Beetle gives drivers a comfort that extends beyond having a nice place to sit.

Let's not forget performance, either. It may not be part of Ward's criteria but we know drivers in Watertown, Medford, and Wellesley care how the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle does on the road as well. With its sport suspension system and Electromechanical Power Steering, there's plenty of punch with the two engine options available. They are: a 2.0-liter TSI five-cylinder and a 2.5-liter in-line engine that both come with a DSG transmission.
