Used 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle Consumer Reviews
Lots of problems
Original wiper blades made screeching sound. Told they were aftermarket.They came with car. Out of stock. They wouldn't send to me. I replaced on my own. Battery died within 30 days. Road service never showed up. Gas tank filler lid wouldn't open. Inition was faulty. Several problems with indicater lights. Most recent "engine malfunction" Dealer hasn't even looked at.Car at dealer for 5 days. Floor mats useless. Poor design on tabs that hold in place. Call to owner of dealership refused eventhough they were on premises. Every time oil is check it is down 2 quarts. Told this is "normal" Enough said.
Power Buggy
Purchased '00 Red Beetle w/ manual at 39,000 miles. I checked the car out on Carfax, and the car's history came up clean, and no major defects. I've had the car over a year, and still no problems. Gas mileage is a huge factor in this car alone, plus overall exterior and interior perks such as heated seats and leather. Dependability and longativity of the vehicle's engine was also in the back of my mind before purchase. No matter which make or model you buy now days. Some tend to be more dependable than others, it's like playing Russian Roulette. I highly reccomend the New Diesel Beetle for gas mileage and power.

Car is fun to drive, and safe feeling
Very Reliable and Fun
I have had this car now for 5 years and am just now going to get rid of it due to my growing family and needing something bigger. This car has been WONDERFUL! I've never had to do anything other than routine maintenance!! I hate having to sell and I recommend this car to anyone!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
Not worth the wait.
This vehicle has given me unbeliable electrical problems. The the whole instrument cluster is unoperational, as well as the console light is out. Our transmission slips when trying to downshift. This is a vehicle with only 50,000 miles it should not be this bad at this point, but it is. Our warranty is up and now is up to us to reapair the unreliability of such a neglecting company. Consumer beware
