Living in the city is great and what's even better is living in the city in California. Without the snow and cold weather of the Midwest and other regions, you have the option to get a compact SUV that expresses your personality, yet is still a practical vehicle choice. Here to help you find the stylish compact for your style, our Capistrano Volkswagen team has put the 2017 models of the VW Beetle, Kia Soul and Nissan Juke side by side in a feature comparison.
While features such as all-wheel drive aren't necessarily at the top of your list as they would be in other regions of the country, fuel economy is still a top factor. Saving money at the pump with a more fuel-efficient vehicle means more opportunities to travel on the weekends or have more fun money. Of the three compacts listed, the 2017 Beetle comes out on top for highway mileage and in second for city driving. While it may not have the highest city mpg, the 2017 Beetle does offer drivers a turbocharged engine on its base trim for a more thrilling driving experience.
