James, besides the oodles of room in it and the body colour painted upper sills and other small items (1 touch all windows down is cool), I have never really been a fan of the New Beetle's interior. Would definitely need good sunglasses, I don't like some of the radio buttons and controls, the door armrests and buttons are at odd angles or unusuable, somewhat poor storage, etc.
But some quirky qualities help redeem it somewhat. Still, not for me.
