Used 2005 Volkswagen New Beetle Consumer Reviews
Good Car
My 2005 VW Beetle is a very good car. We have had it 1.5 years and have put 75,000 miles on it. It has had no problems and we get 45 MPG highway. It is one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. We got 60,000 miles on the factory tires. The dealership was impressive also, they provide good customer service. I will buy one again.
Cutest car ever!!!
I love my car! The sports seats hug you when you drive. It corners easily, and I fit into any parking space. It is so cute, people actually watch it go by, especially when I have the top down! I just love it. It also has a lot of power, so I don't have to worry about getting up and going when I need to. Best car ever!!!

Much Improvement Needed!
This is my parents' car, but i drive it mostly, and have to deal with the dealership on the ongoing problem with the check engine light coming on. It comes on all the time and they keep telling us its a computer code that has to be updated, and they are waiting for it. They've been telling us that for a year now. Furthermore, the cup holders are awful you cant even fit a "pony" in them. They are poorly designed. Also, how can a car as tiny as a bug get only around 27 mpg? My grandmother had a huge Mercury Grand Marquee with a V8 and it got around 28 mpg. The engine needs to be revamped, there are so many larger cars out today that get a lot better mileage than the Beetle.
Aquarius Blue...I luv u
I have owned several VW convertibles: a '90 Cabriolet, '96 Cabrio and now my '05 Aquarius Blue Beetle. This is by far the most fun to drive of all of them. Yes the trunk is small, yes the rear seat is not very roomy but we don't buy this type of car for those features. The trunk is roomy enough for a suitcase or groceries and again the fun-factor outweighs all.
2005 Volkswagen New Beetle GLS TDI
I'd seen the first Concept One in 1994. After exhaustive research and MANY test drives, I purshased a 2005 New Beetle TDI on 1/12/2005 (or VW NB GLS TDI with ESP and XM(radio). The fuel mileage is GREAT - over 400 miles on a fill up with 99% city driving- I look forward to a very long relationship.
