Hard to say without knowing what she's looking for in a car, really.

Get her to drive both and see which she prefers.

Suspect the Fiat is more chuckable (although has horrid light steering), so more fun to drive. But a vert of any kind will be more fun to be in and be seen in.

If shes not so fussed about B road blasting then I'd say it's an easy win for the VW.

I would tend to agree with 300bhp.

If she wants something entertaining to drive, the Fiat is certainly better. If she doesn't, the Beetle probably does most things better; the mk4 Golf wasn't a bad car, just a dull one. There's more space in the front of a Beetle than the Fiat, and probably similar in the back. The Beetle's boot is probably a bit bigger but it's nowhere near as versatile as a hatchback.

Which one is she going to look best in? Only one way for us to really decide...
