My dream car, a 2014 VW Beetle Convertible soon became a nightmare. Noisy, inconsistent, & unpredictable, it spent way too much time in the Service Department than on the road. After they claimed it was fixed by VW Engineers, I was driving down HWY 111 when the convertible control panel fell out of the roof nearly hitting me in the face as it swung back-and-forth almost causing an accident. The VW corporation ended up replacing that vehicle with the same model. Unfortunately, the new Beetle had all the same serious bugs as the last one. When I contacted the VW corporation again, they blew me off. Now, I want to warn others about these cute but potentially dangerous cars. If you want to waste

Engine died 3 times requiring a tow in 3 months. The first was a timing chain at 68000 miles. Volkswagon agreed to pay the cost since there is a class action law suit against them for this issue. Just to take the engine apart was $900. Three weeks later it died again while I am driving due to a fuel injector. I had to pay $1,000. It has been less than a month since the last repair of the fuel injector and tonight it died again and was towed to the dealer. I am so frustrated. I can’t keep this car because I cannot keep having it die on me, but I do love driving it. I will be very sad to get rid of it. I cannot understand how this keeps happening. I take good care of this car and it only has 69,000 miles. BUYER BEWARE.

Cute car, but not the best quality

Bought my VW Convertible new and have owned it a year now. Have had multiple window issues (motors and seals) and also a tire issue (one bad tire). VW needs to install better quality parts that do not break as easily, because going back and forth with the dealer is not only time consuming, but also frustrating for everyone involved. My car originally had Continental tires, which were so so, but one tire was bad and took a while to diagnose through a road force balance. The faulty tire was subsequently replaced, but I recently decided to just buy Michelin's and not have to worry about anymore future problems. Now after multiple balancing and alignments, it drives much better.
So much fun and a great ride

So much fun and a great ride. This is our second beetle convertible, and I've decided I want no other car for the rest of my life. We have such a good time in this car. It's great looking and rides beautifully. It holds so much more luggage and gear than it looks like it would. We have a bike rack on the back and travel in it often. Aside from the cost of even the most basic maintenance, I highly recommend it.
fun to drive!
