2002 VW Beetle Still Fun to Drive

Drive it. You'll like it! Stiff and European driving performance. Great visibility. Simple design and easy to use controls and knobs. Smart and practical. Sunroof is nice to have, and not windy but noisier of course. Plenty of room for six footers.

I still love mine! 2002 Turbo S

I bought my silver Turbo S used in 2005, and I still love walking up to it every day, it's a gorgeous little car. This car is six years old and has its share of dents but still looks awesome, previous owner managed to make sunroof leak (fixed myself with amazing Haynes manual) and misalign drivers door? The doors on these things are really solid so how they did that I don't know? listening to the turbo whistle rocks and the six speed is cool, I have taillight issues on the left, but other than that she goes great. Anyway I've really come to think that VW did reinvent their peoples car, used or new these are cheap and practical car's that anyone smart enough to want one can afford.

The turbo s is a luxury car in a small package. It's a dream to drive with power to boot.
