Not worth the money
By katertot on Friday, May 29, 2009
Not only is the car more expensive to fix than a BMW, I had one problem after the other. I put new breaks (front AND back), a waterpump, ball joints, and more into it in less than six months. I put about $1,000 into the car, and I still have problems. VW's are known for electrical problems and it has proven to be true in my case. It does get pretty good mileage, about 32-34 MPG but it is not worth all the trouble and money when I only owned the car for two years. - 5.0
2000 new beetle review
By Stasis on Wednesday, January 10, 2024
I have owned a 2000 new beetle since I bought it new. It has been a wonderful vehicle with little to no problems. I needed new glow plugs once and a new turbo at 19 years old. ( this is a TDI) I don't think that is a bad review. Plus I get 35 miles city and 54 miles mpg hwy if I stay at 65 miles per hour. Otherwise 48 mpg. - 1.0
THE WORST CAR EVER BUILT
By Ric on Sunday, October 28, 2007
Bought the car brand new. Now with 40,000 in 6.5 years. VW was great with their handicapped driver program. The car got great safety ratings. So, it was a no brainer. Well, that was the END of the satisfaction. Poor gas mileage, that has never improved.(15city/19hwy) Many electrical problems, WAY TOO MANY RECALLS!!!(15 so far) Some for the same issue. Poor engineering, quality, & reliability. Dealerships are not equipped to take care of the problems.(I have tryed 4 in my area.) Every plastic piece on the car that could possably fall off, HAS. AND, what is up with the "Stewart Little" sunvisors??? I think they should have kept this car on the drawing board. This is definatly NOT a Volkswagen like I remeber. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE CARS!!! NEW OR USED.
