It lasts a long time with low maintenance. I am just now at 175,000 miles having to really replace things. It is just too small for my now family. It is great on gas miles as well. It also has good pickup and quality made. Parts are expensive to replace but they last.

Good, efficient and cost-effective car.
It has a lot of get-up-and-go. But it is a very small car with limited space. Current problems are wipers which make things difficult during the rain. Overall a good car, but newer models are obviously going to be better in terms of performance. Would recommend to purchase if price is an object.

It works, is reliable and rarely needs repairs.
It's a small vehicle that stands out in crowd. It's easy to recognize and has been around for years.

Never buy a beetle with children.
It is not for children. Too small. A lot of problems with the exhaust system the transmission the catalytic converter the max air flow sensor coil packs sparks plug headlights. I could go on for days. Once this car gets in bad shape, you might as well junk it. Cost less to buy a new car. Transmission has no dipstick so you have to refill it from the bottom.

Electrical beetle issues.
Engine light on, drives good, electrical issue on a majority of the car, a lot of issues but it still runs good the electrical has the radio blinkers, windshield wipers, passenger window. Oil light seems as though the oil light stays on and it may be a possible leak with the oil system.

Cutest car with a few expensive drawbacks.
The biggest problem is finding this car, only 1500 were made, the steering wheels are numbered. Purchase price is around $10,000. Spacious trunk for the car size. Tall person friendly. The leather seats get very hot in the summer seasons. The flower vase right of the steering wheel adds lots of vintage charm. Never weather proofed the convertible top and live in the upper peninsula of Michigan with no issues. Maintenance is more expensive- oil changes prefer premium oil and headlights are changed from the interior. Great statement car only ever encountered 1 other on the road. Great gas mileage!

Great VW bug purchased used no problems.
Reliable, always performed well. Very comfortable and good gas mileage. No major problems. Purchased used. Only problem is electric squeaky window.

Her name is Vanellope because her color is light tan (Vanilla) and that is combined with the name Penelope to make Vanellope!
I like that it is small and gets good gas mileage. I like the shape. I do not like the fact that the inside of the car starts falling apart after a few years.

Fun car for a single, young girl who will put the top down all the time.
Very comfortable and has a lot of room. Trunk is very small and I wouldn't say it is a trunk at all. Backseat is comfortable. A lot of car problems, had to get it fixed 5 times in 1 year. Long battery life. Convertible is easy to put up and down. Does take a lot of gas.

Burnt orange Volkswagen bug.
The car drives very smoothly especially on a freeway. The car is small but has plenty of space inside the car as well as in the truck. It also had a camera to help you guide your car in reverse. It comes in a nice color. It's a foreign car so if you did need parts they’d be a bit expensive or hard to find but I haven't had any issues with my car.

It is all great, cannot pick just one thing, I love everything about it.
Love it because it is small easy to park anywhere, great gas mileage, ride and drive s great, love the 5 speed transportation, and the seat warmers, has a great heater and super cold air, all around l just love it.

Go out and buy a VW beetle.
For a smaller car it's a very roomy car, I love this little spunky car it will get up and go. Very easy to drive. It's a very reliable car and great on fuel mileage. Great for long trips roomy and comfortable. Also great car for a starter car for first time drivers.

It has a convertible roof which is really nice in the summertime.
The car has engine problems and does not turn on right away after filling with gas but otherwise works perfectly fine. It is comfortable and a good size and the convertible aspect is really nice. The car is reliable but getting new parts can be very expensive depending on what part is needing to be replaced.
Paris L
on January 12, 2021
I would say about the car is that the seats are unbelievably comfortable.
There are not really any problems I have. It drives nice and smooth. And the seats are extremely comfortable. The radio has nice sound quality. The car is definitely worth the money I paid for it, which wasn't too much by the way so I think people should definitely buy this car.

Love the fact that it is almost like the Cherokee but has its own unique feature.
My jeep runs perfectly. The only thing about it is that the engine is super loud and I cannot seem to figure out what might be causing it. But overall it is very comfortable and I am in love with the safety features and the Bluetooth that comes with it. I am able to play all my music and my calls come through too.

My love bug. And the love I share back.
My VW beetle is my daily driver. Offering comfort reliability and great gas mileage. This model has been one of my favorites and daily driver for over 20 years and I very much look forward to continuing in with this tradition. From the classic model till today's. The VW beetle is by far one of the strongest models available at VW.

Very fast & sporty car. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
I love my car, I mean I haven't had air in over a year & I've had it 2 & a half years, but it's been a great car. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

A VW beetle is a great starter car.
The car is cute and is reliable, has never broken down on me but repairs are costly. I have frequent problems with the sunroof opening and oil. Leaks but it works for a beginner car for cheap, I got it used. I would recommend this car for any starter car, it is good on gas, not too expensive to register, and is not horrible on ice. Though it is really low to the ground and often gets stuck in snows.
Kirsten C

The most interesting part about my vehicle is that it is a 2.5.
This vehicle is absolutely in perfect shape! The interior is tan, and the exterior is light (baby) blue! I absolutely enjoy driving it long and short distance, too. Most of all, the engine is smooth, and the doors open smoothly also. Next, the windshield and pretty much all the windows are super clean and clear. The seats are leather, and it is super reliable, too.

White Volkswagen beetle review.
I love this car! Although my car was used before I bought it, I have only had a few minor issues, all of which were simply related to the age of the car. The leather seats are a nice feature of the car, and they were in good condition when I purchased it. The car is reliable, safe, and good for a first-time driver because of its small size.

Great gas mileage, easy to drive and park, would make a great car for a teen
VW bugs hold up really well, you can tell they are made to last but when something does go wrong it's expensive since it's a foreign car and many places won't work on them. They get great gas mileage and are cute and small so their supper easy to drive and park anywhere

Volkswagen Beetle is a fun, sporty car that will always get people's attention.
Like the manual transmission. Like the acceleration. Dislike the cost of maintenance and difficulty sourcing OEM parts. Dislike the fuel efficiency.

The new Volkswagen beetle is the best car for short people.
The headlights tend to burn out often and are hard to change not easy to access. Wish there was a back window wiper. It has good get up and go. The seats are very comfortable especially once the seat warmers get started. The heater and ac both work well both in the summer and winter.

Do not let size fool you, she's small but mighty!
I think it is a very sound car, it runs beautifully and even after 8 years it is still a gem. It may be a compact, small car, but do not let the outside fool you! It is very big and roomy on the inside, with plenty of leg room for even the biggest of drivers.
Maya H

My car is green which makes it unique and fun to drive.
Good visibility, great gas mileage, good amount of trunk storage, only issue is that air conditioning and heating does not circulate very well, black leather interior can be very hot and uncomfortable in summer, car is small but safe, it is a cute and fun car to drive.

Not as small as you think!
This car has great space, good gas mileage, and good driving. For a small compact car you do not feel tight, or not have room for luggage, grocery or car seats.

It is the greatest car I have ever owned. It is cute and fits my lifestyle.
I have always wanted a beetle bug, like my mom had years ago. I love the way it rides and looks and it fits my lifestyle perfectly. I have had no problems with the car. I get a lot of compliments on my car also, it runs smoothly, it is very reliable, it performs great and I feel very comfortable riding in it.

My VW beetle is a small but very reliable vehicle.
I constantly have problems with the battery and alternator in my VW beetle. Besides that, it is a really cute and comfortable car. It is easy to drive and park because it is so small. It has been very reliable, even though it has some issues, it has never failed to run for me when I needed it to. It has leather seats which makes it super easy to clean and I love the blind spot mirrors. The seats are very comfortable and can be moved any which way to suit you best. I also like the odometer. It is big and super easy to read.

Beep Beep - Little Car With Big Get Up And Go
My beetle has been very reliable! It's at 60,000 miles (obtained used at 30,000) and still going strong. There were a few recurring mechanical problems with the sunroof when I first bought it—it would open itself sometimes—but that is since fixed and was my only real problem with it. It's a small car but can hold a surprising amount of luggage. It drives very smoothly and accelerates quickly. I am a fan and would gladly buy another Beetle in the future!

The classy red bug on the highway. . .
I appreciate the size when parallel parking and the good gas mileage. I do not like the comfortability of the back seat and how difficult it is to get into the back seat. I also do not like the dashboard. Whether using headlights or not it is very difficult to see any numbers because of the color contrast. I love the deep red color which really stands out in a crowd.
Ariana S

How comfortable it is. I didn't think it would be but no one is cramped.
No problems at all. Performance and comfort top level. Best car I have had so far. Super comfortable and great features. Love having apple carplay and everything in one including navigation. Gas mileage is really good too. Honestly no complaints. I was a bit hesitant at first but fell in love with the car.

2010 final edition beetle convertible.
I love the responsiveness of this car. It handles wonderfully and fits in small spaces and has a powerful air conditioning system. The trunk space in limited, and the back seats are small, but I do not use those often so it is no problem for me. The convertible top is sturdy and works well.

Fun in the sun driving a Volkswagen beetle.
I love my VW beetle. It is fun to drive and easy to steer and you can park it anywhere. It is reliable and has very good gas mileage. It does not need a lot of maintenance and it is pretty reasonable when it needs new parts or basic performance service.

Volkswagen convertible bug.
I absolutely love my VW bug. I think because of its age and mileage, I have had a couple problems turning the key in the ignition and with the battery; however, the car is stylish and fun and super cute. Mine is a convertible which makes for a lot of fun adventures. The car is easy to use and navigate and has always had solvable problems. I wouldn't trade it or the memories it's given me for the world. One of my favorite features is the seat heaters and its brakes. I have always considered my car to be extremely safe and reliable despite its size.

Great car, very few issues.
Check engine light has been on ever since I got it in 2015, will cost at least $500 to fix. It gets great gas mileage. Great size and is surprisingly roomy on the inside very easy to get car seats in and out of the back. Gets up to speed very quick.

Beetle convertible. Super fun to drive. Easy to put the top down.
Really fun car to drive. Had not needed a lot of maintenance other than expected wear and tear. Reliable. Fun in the summer convertible. Good heated seats for winter. Had more space in it than you would think. Good sound system. Not bad on gas. Overall a really fun car to drive ??.

VW beetle is my classic California ride.
My VW beetle has great gas mileage, is super compact and easy to park (which is a big deal living in a city), feels safe because of the round shape, and has never had any problems in the years I have had it. I love the leather interiors and the classic flower vase that comes with the car.

Car is wonderful on fuel and never has mechanical issues. It is very easy to drive as well.
I purchased my vehicle in 2010 and it is very reliable. It is easy to park and I find it very stylish. I dislike that they discontinued making new beetles. I now will purchase a different company when I need to replace my car in a few years.

2010 Volkswagen yellow beetle.
It is a small car but when you are inside it has a lot of room for two people. It is a sporty car so it is quick to pick up speed. Although I had to change the fuel filter and the o2 sensor, which the parts are very expensive. So that is a down fall about owning a Volkswagen make car.

The Beetle is a hard working vehicle that will last for many many years.
The Beetle is small so it's great for parking. It's roomy inside and actually can fit five people just fine. It's a hard worker and will go for years without needing a minor repair.

Why the beetle is a good bet!
My car is dependable. I upgraded to the leather seats, which are very comfortable and easy to maintain. Despite its small size, it is very roomy inside, and can accommodate four average-sized adults. The radio system was top-of-the-line in 2010, and still has good sound.

I love my Volkswagen bug!
My Volkswagen beetle is one of the most reliable cars I have ever owned. Because it is German engineered it was built extremely well and I think this is the reason why it is so reliable. This is the second Volkswagen I have owned, the first one was back in '97.
Rachel P

This car has been a blast to drive. Great for short distance trips!
The beetle is a cute car! It is pretty reliable. It has never broken down on me but I have had to take it to the shop many times. It has had issues with the fuel pump and wiring with the headlights. The engine light comes on often. Overall the car is not awful whatsoever but a cheaper, cuter, fun car.
Aaron E

Everyone should buy a bug!
I love the bug and I have since I learned to drive. I think it is the perfect car for a newer driver because of its reliability and size. I was always nervous about parking, but with my Volkswagen, I can fit in anywhere, giving me valuable practice without worrying about scratching and denting other cars. It has really decent mileage and rides very well. Even though it is low to the ground it handles potholes and snow very well. I haven't been stuck in anything yet. Even with my used and 10 year old car, I haven't had any problems with it. I would recommend to everyone who wants to ride in style and not sacrifice reliability.
Jacob B
on May 12, 2019
It is small on purpose, it can't fit many people on purpose. I don't want to give you a ride.
I have always liked small cars, I can see over the hood easily and maneuver easily in most places. The Volkswagen Beetle is a stylish/classic looking car and the type of car that other people in my family have owned before me. I feel it matches my personality perfectly.

Lovable design, reliability and fun!
It's expensive to repair, not great for more than 2 people and/or the space for a car seat, and just ok on gas; however, it's fun to drive, feels very safe and has a strong safety rating, very comfortable, is reliable, made of quality parts, quick to wash and is an adorable car as an updated VW bug.

The Volkswagen beetle is small and easy to maneuver but inconvenient with space
It drives terribly in the Wisconsin winters with snow. It's super inconvenient when I want to bring people places because it's so small. The black leather is awful in the summer. Parts are expensive to fix it because it's a foreign. The car is cute and small and easy for me to maneuver and park.

The VW beetle is great if you do not mind the imperfections.
I love my car. There's only a couple of problems. Sometimes it takes a while to start. Other times it accelerates a lot with just a slight push of the gas pedal. Also the brakes work very jerkily. But the sound system is great and it is so easy to park, since it is so small.
Gianna B

The bug, your loyal ride or die car.
I have well over 125k miles on the car so it is not in peak performance. However, it is lasted this long and the only thing I have had to replace is the air conditioning. I love this car so much. Wish the new beetles still looked like this, because if I ever trade this car in, I am going to miss the signature classic beetle look.
Courtney B
on March 6, 2019
Great, fun vehicle. Perfect for short commutes.
I love my vehicle. It is reliable and the repair on cost on my car is relatively inexpensive, depending of course on the problem. The maintenance is low and I get decent gas mileage. I love the leather interior and the fact that the outside color of the car (in my case blue) is carried to the inside of the car. Of course, the limitation is the size of the car. It has four seats, but most comfortably fits two.
Jessica F

The Volkswagen beetle pick up and go!
The beetle is a great car to own. It gets great gas mileage and has some pick up & go for having a smaller engine. Most repairs on the car are very inexpensive if you go to the right mechanic. It is a fun car to drive and there is plenty of legroom in the backseat and the sound system is very good.
Elena F

Very cute reliable car very on low budget.
Low mileage. Very reliable. Easy to drive never have a problem for 9 years driving this car. For small car it is very comfortable. If this car would be not fixable I would definitely porches this model again. Would not want drive any other cars. Love it.

Fun bug for one or two people.
I love my little bug. It gets great gas mileage and has always been super reliable. I added a sunroof which I rarely use so wish I'd skipped that. It is a standard which makes it feel sporty and has great pick up. The back seat is small and it's a 2 door so I rarely take other passengers. The back is great and the seats flip down so I can get a lot in there.
Rochelle P
on December 25, 2018
It gets good gas mileage and great for commuting.
This car was great at first but eventually had many problems. Not good for long term. There is electrical problems and it seems to attract bad luck. There is a leak and they say it will cost 2000 dollars to repair. It is too expensive to work on. I cannot afford the repairs.

The Volkswagen Beetle is so adorable!
My Volkswagen Beetle is an extremely reliable car and gets me where it needs to go. The most important feature for a car to me is how it looks and the Volkswagen Beetle is as cute as they come.
