I'm now on my second New Beetle. I've never had any problems with the car beyond a few minor complaints like the placement of the cup holders or the fact that the texture on the interior door handles tends to wear off. Both of mine have been the GLX trim. Plently of power and a lot of fun to drive. I've heard of people having mechanical issues with New Beetles but I have to wonder if perhaps some of it isn't abuse.
vw beetle-they're greeeeeeeeat

This is such a fun car to drive. I wanted a beetle in the 60's but was young and could not afford one. Finally got a Beetle last year after all kids had left home. I think the design of this new beetle is so much better than the original. It is Heavier and roomier and I feel much safer in it than I think I would have been in the orignal. It handles like a dream and has a smoothe ride not unlike much bigger, heavier cars. It has met my expectations many times over. I am really glad I got it. I plan to give it to my daughter as a college graduation gift, (she has wanted one for years) and then buy a new convertible beetle for me.
not baby friendly but still good.

Beetle is a very good car overall, with only a few annoying quirks. The ride is sporty, yet supple where it needs to be. Very easy to control. Just try to get it on 3 wheels or to spin out of control...it ain't easy. Braking is top of the line & out performs most Japanese cars & many domestics. No one can match the headroom, not even a truck,unless your in a convertible. Power windows,locks,alarm,sideairbags,heated seats,etc are standard. It has an excellent safety record too. Beetle has a solid feel to it.
Well Made, Fun to Drive, Reliable

2000 w/45k miles,2.0 motor,cloth interior,silver.Love it.Seats very comfortable.Steering&handling great.Feeling of quality.Love the curved window line.Has enough power,but just enough.Plenty of headroom.Only had minor problems. Switches for the window&the parking brake broke,the AC went out,&there was a minor electrical problem.All fixed under warranty quickly.The car comes with service&bumper to bumper coverage for 50,000 miles.I wouldn't worry about reliability.Think of how many old Volkswagens you see on the road.Even if you have some problems, what other car has this much style to offer.I'll take a few problems over driving an econo- box anyday.
