Luxurious enough. Easy to parallel park. No fancy rims to fuss w/. Never had to do a thing except gas/ oil change & clean!

Too many issues

This is a beautiful car, its zippy, cute, and has a great sound system. Though the cost of keeping the car running will bring tears to your face. I purchased this vehicle about 3 years ago with 50,000 miles on it. At first there were small problems but now with about 80,000 miles on the car I have a new expensive issue every 4 months. Overall, in these three years I have spent over 5,000 dollars to keep the car running from issues with a malfunctioning throttle body, to a breaking AC fan, to even an engine leak. Last time I visited a dealership they told me I have a bad axle boot, which will be about another 350.00-450.00 dollar fix when I just fixed the broken AC fans about a month ago. Please stay away and buy something that won't put you in an uncomfortable situation.

This car is so fun to drive and is fantastic on mileage! It looks small but is surprisingly roomy on the interior, and thanks to the turbo, much faster than I imagined as well!

Fantastic car. Great price. Amazing sound system and interior. Love it! Dealership (Fitzgerald Auto Mall VW) was friendly and easy to work with. No hard sells. Highly recommend them too.

VW Knew about the Window problems

2012 Volkswagen Beetle 2.5L PZEV 2dr Hatchback w/Sunroof, Sound, Navigation (2.5L 5cyl 5M)

VW knew about the window problems, because the Convertible Bug had been plagued with them the entire run of the line. I traded in my 2004 Convertible Beetle for the new one because it seemed like the only way to fix the window problem once and for all. Now, here I am day one and I don't have my new car because it is back at the Dealership being "fixed". I'm lucky apparently because the Dealership I use has a great staff who really do their best to solve problems, but when the problem is the manufacturer... All I can say is avoid VW's. If anyone stops to ask me about the car, it isn't going to go well for the company.
