Napleton's Dealership, Urbana, IL
I just bought my VW Beetle at Napleton's in Urbana, IL, and the team there made my experience so enjoyable. Matthew Morales was so personable, answering all my questions and making sure I got what I wanted. He made the whole process easy and fun, along with his manager, Derek. Billy walked me through the financing and warrenty process with his great sense of humor. I couldn't have asked for a better group to help me!

Such a fun Convertible
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.

Back in love with the Beetle.
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.

Ode to Joy
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.
