Excellent Engine; poor interior mechanics

I went for a red TDI 2014 convertible! The car is very fun, and gets excellent gas mileage. Within a week I noticed several defects to interior workmanship. The worst one was the rubber liner that goes along the windows and convertible connection. The driver side is perfect. The passenger side has an extra centimeter of rubber that sticks out with much wind noise I can push the rubber piece so that it closes the gap, and the whistling goes away. A couple of other sucky items are the front passenger seat quick release and the driver seat leatherette lining. The entire passenger seat had to be replaced bc somthing broke. The manager said he mayhave to replace the seat liner. too many defects

I love everything about Beetle convertible! I have now owned it for 18 months and still absolutely love it! I have had no major problems with it now at nearly 42,000 Only disappointment is that I was given a $200 credit card from Edmunds and I lost it :( I found it a month later and they said it was expired and would not honor it any longer. Super sad about that.

Love the look but breaks down constantly

My car has a little over 79,000 mi on it and it seems like every few months something breaks down requiring fixing. Whether it be the battery, certain parts, the engine, or the FSC, it seems like things stop working more than the car is worth. It seems to work a lot better in warm weather (places above freezing). The windows freeze and sometimes make it hard to open or close the door properly in winter. The rubber rim for the trunk had to be replaced after leaking all over and causing mold from rain. (I had to select a model to enter this review but I’m not sure which model so I randomly picked one. It’s a 2014 yellow convertible vw beetle)

My first bug was a 1969. My hubby and I also own a Jaguar F series and a Ram Laramie Dually. We also own a bug cause I wanted to go retro. My bug is a convertible with stick shift and TDI series. It’s so easy to drive around, great mileage and comfort. I will trade it in ONLY if VW comes out with a electric......
