Used 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Horrible, simply horrible
This car is very uncomfortable and slow compared to what I want.
2002 Turbo S
Absolutely fun to drive. Has been therapy for a hard working professional that enjoys performance in a vehicle and some fuel economy to boot.

I'll never buy another VW
Where do I start? First major problem was the water pump went out. Son was driving and kept driving when it over heated. Had to get a new engine. Ended up buying a used engine and still cost over $2,000. Water pump went out in that engine. Another $800. Water pump went out again in less than a week. Was replaced for free. Water pump went out a fourth time after 6 months. Was replaced for free. The plastic interior is breaking apart everywhere. The paint on the hood starting chipping the same year I bought it (2006). Doesn't get good gas mileage. I got almost as good gas mileage with my full size truck. Now the transmission fluid is leaking and they want $4000 for a new one.
Definitely a fun car to have and drive.
Be mindful of condition of cars motor,electrical systems and exhaust system.

The Best Car Around
I think it is a great car all around and very fun to drive. Cops never look at it because it is a beetle.
