Decided to test drive a 2015 Volkswagen Beetle. I didn't think i could get into it being 6ft 7, much to my surprise I fit perfectly!

Great so far, but for the windows

Just bought the 2012 Beetle on Saturday. Got a good price, and loved the style and feel of the car over the Golf I was originally thinking about getting. Like most of the others, I have the window issue where it is a pain to get them back up. At first I thought it was some kind of special feature I couldn't figure out, but after poking around a bit it seems I'm in good company. Hopefully, with enough pressure they will speed up a fix.

Purchased a new 2012 Turbo Beetle 3 months ago. Although the car is a blast to drive, I have been experiencing problems with the drivers and passenger windows. They go down fine but stop and go when you close them. The car has been in three times so far for the same repair and I am doubtful that VW will ever be able to correct the problem. Since the dealership has been working on the problem, I now have wind noise and other issues with the windows that I did not have before. My intent is to force them to take the car back since the car and many others like it share the same problem.

The base beetle with five cylinder Steel timing belts. Non turbo is a great car. It’s got a 5 rating from the warranty companies which means they won’t have to spend a fortune fixing it.

*update since Edmunds asked* Still an amazing car, they are stupid easy to work on if needed. I loved the fist one I owned. I'll be honest it can take a beating, mine went everywhere. I took it off road, red lined it daily, jumped the car a few times and it stuck with it. Heck I drove 40,000 miles in one year with basic maintenance. Only issue I ever had was the transmission/motor mounts, they're aluminum if I'm not mistaken and the bolts will strip out with hard use. Upside is they are stupid easy to replace your self. Hands down the best car I've owned to date and I am buying another.
