Used 2009 Volkswagen New Beetle Consumer Reviews
Sweet 16 again
My wife purchased a 2008 SE convertible for use at our beach house. She loves this car to death. Fun, quick and easy to park. Can fit 4 when needed. Top down fun in the sun.
LUV THE BUG!
I have wanted the convertible bug for 6 years. Never had a better opportunity than now to have one. It's fun to drive and I feel like a kid again. The new heavenly blue color is beautiful. Much better than the years past. Cream/Beige interior needs to be offered on all exterior colors. That's my only gripe....other than that, I LUV THIS BUG!

2008 New Beetle YUCK!
I have owned 6 Beetles in my lifetime and I have loved everyone from my 1968 to my 2005. I recently traded in my 2005 and upgraded to a 2008. What a shock. The appearance and features are all basically the same as all my other New Beetles, however, the gas mileage is another story. I have paid more for gas than I have in payments for this car since I purchased it. It is only averaging 200 miles per tank of gas. I have had it to the dealership for service, and they insist that there is no problem with it. My last full tank of gas I got 193 miles. I am certain that there is a problem with the 2008 Beetle fuel system. I am not happy with the 08 VW. YUCK!!!
Awsome car
I have wanted a Beetle bug since I was 10 years old. I am now 40 and I bought one finally. And I love everything about it. The best car I have ever owned!
Will never own another beetle again
I bought my beetle used two years ago. In those two years, I’ve had to replace the subframe bolts, the transmission bolts, the passenger side tail light, the battery, the starter, the AC compressor, and I now have an air leak in the gas tank that I also need to fix ASAP. I thought I would love having a beetle, and sometimes I really, really loved my car, but the cost of fixing everything that has gone wrong is too much. Maybe some of the problems were because I bought the car after it was already 8 years old. But I’ve been to the mechanic shop more times than I’m comfortable with and I wouldn’t recommend this car. Also as a side note for parents looking to buy this car (or a newer model) for their daughters. I’m a young woman in my early twenties. And at least ONCE A MONTH while putting gas in my car, I’m approached by a stranger who wants to ask about how I like driving a beetle, what gas mileage I get, etc.. It makes me uncomfortable and I know it makes my parents worry. I won’t stop for gas at night unless I have someone with me. But strangers still approach me in the daylight.
