Great product; there is nowhere I go that this little car doesn't raise eyebrows. I have the Harvest mood/beige top GLS 1.8t; VW claimed 150hp, but it feels more powerful. On gas matters, love it.

So far, so good. This car is fun to drive (turbo gives extra power) and is great on gas.

I chose the VW Beetle convertible because my grandson loves the "Slug Bug" and wanted me to get one. Once I drove it, I fell in love with it. It is truly the BEST car I have ever had. Comfort, looks, reliability, performance is perfect. I hope we have beautiful weather here in MN so I can drive with the roof down. Love that Sun!!

Very surprised at this car after we bought it. Wife wanted a cute conv with a little get up and go but what we got was one of the funnest cars we have owned with good looks and more than enough performance in the city and on the freeway.

I love this car so much. It is a great every day car as well as weekend car. I drive it to school and on vacations. The front seat is so spacious and the backseat is actually comfortable. It is a great car!
