Fun the Second Time Around

This is the second Beetle that my wife and I have owned and we enjoy the fun and preformance that it offers. The 2.5L engine has as much punch as the 1.8 turbo that we had the first time around did without the turbo lag.

I love the new VW Bug! With more smile in the front and back it'll make you smile just looking at it. The gas milage is better than the Focus I that I traded in and the handling is very smooth. The only thing I've noticed is that due to the short distance between the front and back wheel you really feel the big bumps. But test drive one and fall in love!

I have wanted a Beetle for as long as I can remember. I have little die-cast Beetles all over my living room. I absolutely love my Beetle. It is very comfortable and good on gas.

Buy a Different VW

I bought the New Beetle to get away from sedans for a while as I had a '01 Taurus (big mistake) and an '03 Camry previously. The Beetle was all a sedan wasn't (unfortunately that also included being practical, easy to drive, and roomy). I kept my Beetle for six months and have since seen the error of my ways and bought an '06 Passat (which I highly recommend).
