I found out my Beetle has an inline 5, surprised me since I thought it'd just be a basic 4-cylinder. VW did make models with an I4 but those are all turbocharged, while mine is naturally aspirated. It generates 170 horsepower and about 177 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is 20 MPG city, with 27 MPG on the highway.

It does its job well enough and apparently it's rock solid (for a German car) in terms of reliability.

It's a shame VW 5-cylinders are likely going to be dead for good once the Audi RS3 kicks the bucket in about a year or so, I'd buy one myself but they're too damn expensive
