Used 2003 Volkswagen New Beetle Consumer Reviews
only three complaints!
This is my second new beetle in as many years. The first a 2000 GLX, I kept a year before VW of Amer. replaced it with a 2001 GLX, gratus. Car kept loosing power after coming to a stop and attempting to accelerate again. They spent a year trying to correct without success. New 2001 does the same thing and now they "own-up-to" it's "Turbo-Lag which all Turbos have and They can't do anything about it."
Counterbalance to bad reviews
I had my bug for over 2 yrs and I still love it! It is almost the most comfortable car that I've been in. It picks up on the freeway 60 mi in 10 sec. It's like driving a sportscar without being crammed in. It's extremely user friendly and has a personality of its own. You won't believe how much will fit in this seemingly small car. I've had the power window stuck while it was still on warranty. You should check users' website and read how much most people love their beetles. Just drive one and you won't be able to walk away from it.
My Dream
When my yellow Beetle was driven into the showroom for me to view I said that it must be in my garage at once. Comfort, ease of driving, a sporty feel, and people look at you when you drive!. The workmanship on the car is remarkable. Solid build. Side airbags and a great sound system. Heated window washers and side view mirrors. I bought it for my Happy New Year to me present.

Mid-life Crisis Resolved
Fell in love with this car immediately just on looks, but was completely sold when I test drove it. The 2.0 engine gives fine performance and really does have plenty of zip for the highway. The top operates easily and I'm just waiting for full blast spring to really have fun. A great price for a nifty baby boomer dream car. Even room in the back seat for a big dog (always use pet seat belts).
