Not good for a tomboy

This car was a gift. It's considered to be in great condition. It breaks every 2 weeks and it doesn't lock. Parts are discontinued or ridiculously expensive. It's made of plastic, not gold!! Don't waste your money!!!!!!

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!

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.

Awesome car with lots of standard goodies. It's extremely quiet and smooth..Lots of storage with the back seats folded down. Super comfortable seats. Heated seats come standard.

Just picked up my beetle and love it! Quite comfortable. Fun to drive. Quiet (no squeaks or rattles). Still getting the feel for it. My commute is only 2.5 miles to and from work so still have a little time before I really give a proper review. so far- no complaints.
