Great car, fun to drive, lots and lots of looks from other jealous drivers. The top is very easy to put up and down and does not leak!

I had my car 4 days and I had to take it back (Car was brand new, it had 3 miles when I picked it up) Anyway the dealership ended up making my 1st car payment because they had it a month. The car had to have it's breaks replaced and the sensor panel replaced (IN A BRAND NEW CAR), and the window kept coming off track and the car was taken back 4 more times due to the breaks.

2003 Volkswagen New Beetle GLX 2dr Convertible (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

black with cream interior. Lots of fun to drive, get lots of looks and people telling me it looks great. Good performance, turbo is the only way to go. Good stereo. Top fits well, had a minor problem but dealer fix it while I waited. Nice little extras, turn lights in side mirrors and time and temperture in front frame of windshield. Not a lot of room in back seat, but not to cramped. Small trunk.

I love this car. I'm a BIG guy and I have all of the comfort of my Chrysler 300. The only issue I've had is with the convertible top. I've had it in 4 times because some cables in the raising and lowering mechanism come off track and get caught up in the whole works and it screws up the top liner. It seems to be fixed, but now it happened to the other side and it pulled more cables loose, part of the interior molding and broke some other pieces that are down inside. I've only had the car for 9 months and have only been putting the top down for 3 of them. It only had 24,000 miles when I got it!
