Transmission:

This current version beetle SLE has 6 speeds automatic transmission with triptronic includes sport mode.

Comfort:

If we count comfort for 2 persons than surely it is a comfortable vehicle but if we consider this a four person car than there are many lacks. If you are an adult with height near to 6 feet and planning to sit on rear seats than you must avoid that because there is a big problem with its head and leg room.  On the other hand front seats are comfortable with heating option and lumbar support; overall this car is made for 2 persons not for 4.
