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.

Purchased this car brand new in 2014. I have brought this car back to the dealership at least five times. Idiot lights on dash keep going on and off. Passenger visor falls off. Door screws keep coming loose. Right front reflector has fallen off. Bluetooth is a toothache. Transmission skips. All under warranty that has been repaired at least once and still fails to be corrected.. Since then everything has been rectified. It’s a blast to drive. Extremely quick and nimble. Tons of compliments. Behaves nicely.

I bought this certified used car from a local VW dealer, in 2017, with 18000 km. I only drive it during summers and store parked in unheated garage in winter. With its cheery yellow colour, it brings me joy whenever I see it, drive it and even wash it. I get compliments regularly, along with smiles and thumbs up. This little car squeals off the line, handles beautifully and "runs like snot". The interior is simple yet thoughtful, all controls are easily within reach. Three hiccups, one simply addressed, one warranty replacement and one that eluded the dealership but drained my battery and bank card. With a new battery (and new dealership for ongoing maintenance), the problem still exists but I found a dollar store workaround that I can live with. I'm too old to be racing it like a kid, but every once in a while on an open country highway.... I've often told people: "Designed by Porsche, Inspired by Audi, Priced by Toyota". This car has German engineering and precision written all over it. Never did I ever think I would have bought a VW Beetle but now in my 7th summer, here we are. Update: over last summer's driving season, I got a "squeal" out of my back passenger tire/wheel. It got progressively worse (louder and longer) and was really annoying. By the time I got to the dealership, mechanic could not duplicate or locate issue. Finally in desperation, I left the vehicle overnight and was there when cold-started in morning. Mechanic and I drove around the lot a few times with the squeal finally occurring in his presence. The service advisor came out in a while with a smirk on his face saying "we couldn't find anything wrong" $55.00 please! The squeal was gone for exactly two days and then it returned. Have to find a different mechanic at start of next driving season. Very disappointed in the VW dealership. It will get fixed, but it's crimping my joy in the meanwhile.

2014 conv light blue bug.

My wife bought this used VW in 2018, (its the same color as the1970 light blue beetle which was very cramp and uncomfortable inside) pros: This car has plenty of room in front seats and then some, it rides like a Cadillac and handles like a sports car, I love the automatic, manual or sport mode transmission, heated seats and mirrors, 3 led colors for speakers and door molding, the top and windows go down in 12 seconds even while moving, (under 20 mph) the Fender stereo w/cd player is the absolute best oem stereo system I have ever heard, the trunk space is a little small but you can fold down the seats to fit bigger stuff in the trunk, and 27 MPG. cons: no room in the back seat, and you cant park outside in the winter, the windows freeze, they wont open. other than that this is a fun car to drive
Turbo-cab!

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)

Beetle R-line front seats are not comfortable for those of us with "larger bottoms" and legs. Also, expensive for a car in this segment.
