2001 Volkswagen Beetle Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I love my Volkswagen beetle. I have had it for 7 years and it has never let me down. Always ready to go. And we pass a lot of gas stations up along the way. It's small but holds a lot more than you would think, and there is more room inside than you would think, it I had to buy again I would definitely buy another beetle. It really gets great gas mileage.

Tends to go through a lot of oil. Constant upkeep on oil changes. Must be careful not to overfill the oil tank because if you do it overruns into the coolant. Fun car to drive. Due to the fact of all the windows, the car does feel like a greenhouse during warmer days. Did reasonable on gas mileage. Reliable if car is maintained, but if not then lots of problems. Front seats were comfortable. Little cramped in the backseat. Putting down the front seats in recline position was not easy. Like that the driver's seat could be raised up higher. Loved the sunroof.

It is a great commuter car. My main issue is with the passenger side window. It will roll down on Its own and It's a pain to get backup. I have had to disengage the entire passenger side door just to get it to stay up. Now I can only open the passenger side door from the outside.

Finding someone to look at it mechanically is very difficult without taking it to the dealership.

The car is 17 years old. It has always performed very well. The problems I have had have been few and far between, about what you would expect for a vehicle as old as this one. I have had to have the brakes done several times, have had to replace tires, have had to replace or repair many other parts. I have always taken the car to a reputable service center for these repairs, and I have always been satisfied with these repairs. The car is still reliable after all these years. I love my car. I always wanted a yellow car, and this was the first one I was able to get.

This is a fun car to drive and it is so easy to parallel park. It has so much more room than you would expect

My Volkswagen beetle has been decently reliable over the last 7 years I have driven. It requires normal maintenance and checking the oil regularly due to a small leak. We had to replace the power steering rack and the timing belt. These are the only major fixes. Vehicle runs smoothly and is much more spacious than one might think.

Like the size. Like the style. Like the dependability. It suits my personality.
