Positive Review

"an exotic beetle"

this is a head turner, looks like porsche. it has a much softer ride than a porshe and it handles the road close to one. has plenty of power up winding hills i drove it up 3,000ft. mountain in drive and it never hesitated in the climb.it also has real good stoping power from its 4 disc brakes. awsome sound system

Critical Review

"Extremely disappointed."

I bought my VW Beetle 2012 three months ago. Driving off the forecourt I mentioned the window wasn't working properly. I was told it just needed to be reset. Well, not one day has gone by when it hasn't needed to be reset. The tachometer was frozen, and 46 psi in each tire had somehow been overlooked in their haste to sell me this car! I suspect that the speedometer is also malfunctioning. The mileage is also very poor. I love Beetles - my first and second car was a Beetle. I didn't like the 1st re-design and I waited years until I saw this model. I fell in love with the retro look immediately but I've been hugely let-down, by all involved sales/service staff. I want to give them back my car. I just don't want it any more! We keep being told that our concerns are being "escalated" but no one with any authority phones us back as promised - and we end up again with someone who can't arrange for the car to be returned. The men at the top just don't want to know it seems! (So far the tachometer is the only thing that's been fixed.) When I pay $20,000+ for a car I don't expect it to start spending days at the dealership from the very beginning!

Its a Beetle, missed the first Woodstock memories
Cons

Not correct well maintained you do not hear engine

Beetle sel convertible white dark brown top shipped from Jacksonville FL to Hollywood Gunther VW did not have this model color.My first Beetle was a middle model I just wanted top of the line My error.We leased it as our fun car which it is. There are no negatives it is as far as cars go great, handles well accelerates well and surprises others by its performance. Yes I traded a BMW Z-4 in for my first Beetle which I will be returning to as I am a sports car two seater guy. VW should never get rid of the Icon that made VW what it is today.long live the Beetle even as an electric car. Arnie

Great Beetle
Pros

Fun to drive. Great gas mileage. Very reliable.

I’ve loved driving my turbo beetle for the last six years. It’s extremely reliable, quick and smooth to drive. It also gets excellent gas mileage. Very comfortable driver seat and perfect for a single person’s lifestyle.

GREAT attention getter!!!!
Pros

Zippy car and a REAL attention drawer!

Cons

NONE! I wish they were still being made!

I bought this VW new at my local dealer but he had to get the car shipped to me here from PA dealer. I wanted the 2.0 turbo 6 speed with leather 19" aluminum tornado wheels and the special headlights. This red auto is a attention seeker. I bet in the 9 years I have owned it dozens of people have commented about it! Believe it or not but one day I had to go several place in town and THREE people commented to me about the looks of the auto. I had went to Wal-Mart one day and when I came out a semi driver had pulled into the parking lot and was taking pictures of my VW with his carmera. He could not believe the auto was as old as it is because it shines like NEW! I have thought many times about trading for a new car but it would not draw the attention this VW beetle draws!

Iconic Cool Volkswagen
Pros

Iconic Unique car. Excellent quality. 6 yearvw

Cons

2019 is the last model year at the moment.

The 2019 Volkswagen Beetle is agile and quick. Turbo engine gives it plenty of zip on city and highway roads. Ride is smooth and stable. This Beetle has plenty of modern amenities without needless extras. Great vehicle for people who enjoy driving and not playing a video game. 6 year warranty is an excellent value.
