Quality Review
We bought the car new in 2007 and are generally satisfied. Mechanically the car has been good but build quality needs improvement except for the paint job which is the best I have ever seen. Problems we have had are: 1. Three headlight bulbs replaced. 2. Entire locking mechanism for power convertible top had to be replaced. 3. Coolant temperature switch replaced. 4. Four trunk pistons failed with the fifth now broken. 5. Seat belt retainer bezel broken off and replaced. Fuel mileage is average that is 25 around town - less if air running and about 30 mpg at 65 mph if air not running. Trunk space is inadequate and simple repair under the hood is difficult and expensive.
New Beetle- Holds up well & Fun to Drive, but get a warranty
I've had my Beetle Convertible for over 4.5 years and have been overall happy with the car. It is a compact convertible. Don't expect a big trunk or having tall people in the back seat.
Pam's Bug
This is my favorite car that I have ever owned! I am 59 years old and love to drive this car! It is comfortable, easy to get in and out of, smooth in handling, has plenty roomy, and is just plain fun.
Bug me? Hell no
I bought my used 2007 conv bug in 2009. It had I think 42,000 miles on it and today it has just under 120,000. In the last 10 years I have replaced the tires, brakes, battery, wiper blades and that is it, until this summer when the alternator was replaced along with a new top. I would not take 10,000 for this car. Right now it is waiting to be put up on rollers again and shoved to the back of the garage to wait out the winter. I have done this twice before. As far as I am concerned I will not let it go(at least until my granddaughter gets driving age) ever.
