I love my beetle but the only thing is that it is a stick shift. If I stall out on the road, sometimes I have to turn the car all the way off for it to turn back on. The Bluetooth also cuts out from time to time. Like it will just disconnect my phone for no reason.

Amazing car, but ignition sticks.
Overall, the car is fantastic! It took a little bit to get used to the brakes, as they’re really sensitive, but I think that is good in the long run. The only issue I have had is that the ignition sticks, and you have to have a trick to turn the car off. This, apparently, happens with a lot of 2012 beetles, and changing the cylinder only helps for a little while.

Super cute, reliable car!
I love my beetle. It is been very reliable in the 9 years I have owned it. I only had to replace the windshield wipers and maybe the battery. Some of the inside bits are 'fragile'. One of the ceiling handles fell off as did a plastic piece over the seat belt.

The beetle is worth every penny.
This has been one of the best cars I have owned, it has been extremely reliable. I recently performed the 80k tune up on it and it is so fast now, also the gas mileage is great and the way the turbo whistles is beautiful! I only wish that the sunroof went back farther than it does, but that is truly my only complaint.

Compact, Comfortable, and Surprisingly Roomy
My car is incredibly comfortable and honestly surprisingly roomy for a Beetle. It has excellent navigation, excellent speakers, I love the fact that it Bluetooth connects to my phone. I am a 4 foot 11 girl who has been driving this car since I was 16 and I have to use a cushion to be able to sit high enough to see everything. I originally wanted a Beetle because it would be like driving a bubble, everything is tight around me and I would have a very good judgment of how close I can get to things without hitting them.

Feels like luxury. Perfect for any woman in your life!
I love my Volkswagen. The 2012+ models are so comfortable, I feel like I am driving a luxury car all the time. They all come with Bluetooth and digital stereo, which is incredible for what year it is. This car checked off all my wishes while buying a car. The only thing I wish was different, is that the trunk button on the key fob doesn't pop the trunk, just unlocks it.
Lorenzo R
on March 29, 2021
I love how the car handles and drives
I really enjoy my car. The standard features work great for me AC / Heater, Heated seats, Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The size and color. I can easily park this car anywhere since I do not have parking where I live. Again the size makes it very convenient for street parking. Performance is great for what the car is. The turbo engine and manual transmission make this car fun to drive.

Great, comfortable, compact car.
Pretty reliable; tires sometimes lose pressure and is hard to keep up with keeping air in them; comfortable car; great sound system. Rather spacious for such a small car; gas does not cost much to fill the tank. Trunk is big enough to fit a good amount of things.
Alina R

Love my bright yellow beetle.
Almost 200,000 miles and I have had very minimal issues, it is really great on gas. It is a super cute yellow color, love the shape of the car overall. Heated seats, ac and heat work great. The interior details match the paint. It is my favorite car that I have ever purchased. Good quality for the price.
Tara W
on February 20, 2021
Sporty and even cuter car.
It is too small at times but other than that. At times I have needed more space for shopping or talking m y daughter and her teenage friends around town. Another drawback has been that labor and parts too expensive when any problems arise. I love it.
Jackie S
on February 6, 2021
I love it regardless of any negatives!
I love my beetle! It is fast, it is dependable, it is fun to drive and it is roomy. The only downfall, when it needs any kind of work, even an oil change, it costs a lot more than other cars. I recently had my usual mechanic tell me that he wouldn't work on my bug anymore because it was too hard to work on: (.

My little red turbo beetle.
I find my 2012, Volkswagen beetle turbo, a very smooth ride. I love how I fit in it, being short (5'2). It does not feel small and my boyfriend who is 6'2 finds it roomy. The gas mileage is good and the motor is not loud. I love the speakers and heated seats. It is an overall good car that does not feel like it is already 8+ years old. It is also red which is a fantastic color for a car.
Poppy D
on January 27, 2021
Fast, reliable, cute, dependable, easy to maintain, aesthetically pleasing.
The Volkswagen beetle is by far one of the best cars that I have purchased in recent years. The gas mileage on the car is phenomenal and as of yet I have yet to have any gremlins pop up. It has a number of safety features that make me comfortable driving the car and a small and compact.
Ashley P
on January 24, 2021
My 2012 Volkswagen beetle is the best!
I love my Volkswagen beetle, it is easy and fun to ride. My car is the turbo model and is equipped with a fender sound system and a moon room. My car is the perfect size for city life, I can get around easily and never feel like I do not have enough room. I also feel very safe and low to the ground in my car.
Riley H
on January 17, 2021
Love the look, but have some issues
I absolutely love the style of this vehicle. People are always impressed with inside design, and it's very sleek looking outside. However, I've had several issues with noisy windows, creaking back seats, constant 'check engine' lights, and consistent issues with connecting my phone.
Grace S

Volkswagen beetle- a good car for new drivers.
I have never really experienced any majors issues with my car. Some minor issues here and there with the tired and the ac but other than that I have had no complaints. This car’s size, performance, reliability, comfort, and features have all been beneficial to me, who used this car as my first car as a new driver. I have never gotten into any accidents in this car.
Alexa K

My Turbo VW Beetle is an AMAZING car!
My Volkswagen Beetle is the most reliable and fun car. I have never had any issues and the car is at 75,000 miles. Even though the car is a turbo it is still great on gas. I love how the car is compact but still has room for adults in the back seats, I've fit 2, 6ft tall grown men back there. The trunk is also relatively large.
Ashla W

Sleek Volkswagen beetle review.
My 2012 Volkswagen beetle has great features like the seat heaters, great fender sound system, and an easy to clean and unique interior. The windows are placed perfectly reducing blind spots, and it is roomy considering it is a two door. I have yet to have a performance issue.
Susan J

The vw beetle is very fun to drive.
I love the speed and fun of driving the beetle, but really hate the poor gas mileage. It is nowhere what I would expect of a compact car.
Emily E

Beautiful and quick little bug.
I love my car, it is beautiful, reliable and efficient. It gets the job done. I've done many cross country/long distance trips and have never had any problems. I have owned my car for almost 4 years, I bought it used and it was in perfect condition and still is. It is pretty gas efficient as well. I do have to check my oil often because it can sometimes burn a lot of oil but other than that I love my car. The trunk has more space than you'd expect and so does the space inside the car. My headlights are a little dim but that is easily fixed. My car drives very smoothly, it is easy to speed. It is a turbo so it is fast and when put into sport mode can zip by pretty quickly.
Kate D
on January 5, 2021
Comfortable and affordable.
Tires have had some issues (deflating, etc) and it is a bit expensive to keep up with repairs; however the car is comfortable and has a great sound system, more space than you would expect. The trunk has a lot of room. Its cheap to fill the gas tank as well.
Hayley M
on December 25, 2020
An awesome, fun, easy to maintain car!
The only feature my car lacks is the backup camera. Other than that, it is a perfect car. The speaker system is great and I can even change the interior light color! Gas mileage is wonderful and I only have to get the oil changed every 10, 000 miles which makes it much easier to maintain. It is a fun car to drive-I only wish I had the flower vase still!

VW beetle 2012 - great first car!
Super comfortable, Bluetooth, drives super nice. It is my first car and I have had it for a year now. Because we got it used we've had some issues with the transmission but I doubt that others would have that same problem. It is currently around 90,000 miles and running great.
Jeremy C
on December 6, 2020
It is a beetle, a nice reliable beetle.
It has the turbo but it is also an automatic trans so she tends to kick hard, on top of that you have 0 power until you build boost in the turbo, so if you are going to get one of these I'd suggest getting the manual other then that it is a top notch ride.
Courtney B
on December 6, 2020
Fun, reliable car with good gas mileage.
Great fun car. Have had it for about 2 years and have never had an issue. Seats are comfortable, it is reliable, has good trunk space, and I love how it looks. Biggest con is that it does not have 4 wheel drive. The back seat is also a little small and slightly uncomfortable for longer drives since you cannot recline the seats at all.
Amy C
on December 4, 2020
My dream car - the 2012 beetle.
I am very satisfied with my beetle. It has all of the essential features - radio, Bluetooth, air conditioning, heat, power locks and windows. It is reliable and gets good gas mileage. The seats are relatively easy to clean. I feel safe when I am driving.
Ella P
on November 10, 2020
The most important thing others should know about my car is that it's great and it works really well and I've never had a problem with it.
I love the style and the color of my car. I think it's really cute and fits my style. There's nothing I dislike about my car. It gets me from point A to point B without any problems.
Juan R
on October 27, 2020
Very reliable, and my favorite vehicle. Watch out for flooding roads.
I bought used so it has some details and its has a salvage title. The drivers seatbelt gets stuck a lot. Also abs turns on and off suddenly and affect acceleration of vehicle. Very good speed, smooth and compact easy finding parking spaces. This vehicle is a 5 cylinder but mpg is really good. My wife uses it to go to work all week and we fill it up once a week at around 20 dollars.

Volkswagen Beetles are Great Cars
So far I've had no problems with my car. It's really good on gas and my professional oil changes last almost a year between changes.
Brittney C
on September 9, 2020
The lights inside can be changed to red white or blue which is nice.
A few problems I encountered with the vehicle include issues with the passenger door locking and opening from the outside. The car was also recalled last year due to e brake issues. Other than that, the beetle runs smoothly, is comfortable to drive, is quick, and good on gas.
Katie P
on September 5, 2020
The VW beetle is a great car. I recommend it.
The only problem I have had is my trunk latch gets stuck sometimes. Gas mileage is pretty good and it is a fun car to drive. I love the size of the vehicle and the comfort level. It is small enough to fit into small parking spots but the large hatchback provides good trunk space and storage. Overall I recommend this car.
Emily P
on September 5, 2020
Perfect for a first car for a person.
Very comfortable car. Perfect performance. Best for just a passenger. Great on gas. Very reliable car overall. Perfect for a first car for a teenager. Features Bluetooth, cruise control, sport mode, knob controlled headlights. Perfect for long drives and great mileage. Lasts forever.
Erin R

I love my 2012 Volkswagen beetle.
It gets excellent gas mileage and handles well. Love the color and style. Bigger trunk than I expected. It is 5 cylinder and has good pickup and drive. No blood spots. Love the interior and fender sound system. It is a little small in the back seat but people do not sit there often.
Madeline B

Sleek, timeless, fun Volkswagen beetle.
I have never had any issues with my vehicle. I bought it used and have had it for now 4 years. I drive it on long car trips all the time, it has great gas mileage, reliable and comfortable. The sunroof and Bluetooth capabilities makes it really easy to have a fun ride.
Maya J

Volkswagen beetle: not very durable, expensive to maintain and not worth it.
Several battery issues, even when I have gone to Volkswagen to have them repaired there are always reoccurring issues of not being able to start. Very spacious and I like the design of the interior, has Bluetooth and other features that are useful such as GPS.
Jessie R

2012 VW beetle overview: reliable and fun daily.
Fun to drive and great on gas! The windows can get stuck in the winter because they freeze which is a bit of a hassle. Also the front bumper is all plastic clips so if anything gets bumped it is going to break. Trunk space is pretty decent, but the back seat is tight for adults.
Amber W
on July 18, 2020
The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle is an easy to drive car and very reliable

Karina F

Great vehicle, I love driving it.
No problems with the cat after 5 years of driving it. I really love it. I drive in an area where we get heavy snow and even then my car drives great and I feel very safe. A lot of people have complained about paint chipping off, but I haven't had any issues and I drive on the highway constantly.
Hayley B
on July 3, 2020
What I think about a beetle
Haven't had any problems. It's a good car I love it. I can go far without using a ton of gas which is great. I wish it would have more room to haul stuff in it. I wish the backseat would fold down and lay flat to get it out of the way. I drive it all the time and maybe spend $60 on gas in a month
DAVIDA TILLEE
on June 1, 2020
THIS IS MY 3RD BEETLE I LOVE IT. I DID HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUNK LATCH & HAD TO REPLACE IT WHICH WAS QUITE COSTLY!!
THIS CAR IS FUN TO DRIVE, I LIKE THE INTERIOR & COLOR. I HAVE REPLACED TRUNK LATCH & SENSOR, GAS CAP.
Maylin R
on May 26, 2020
Beetles are an amazing car.
My beetle is the best car ever. I definitely recommend getting a beetle if you can find one. It has last me for years and gets really good mileage. It is really spacious despite being a small car. And since it is a small car it is easy to drive around anywhere.
Susan C
on April 24, 2020
Great little classic that will soon no longer be made. . .
First I love the look of the newer beetles. My car is called denim, it is light blue and has retro wheels. Very cute. It handles very well, tight turns, peppy acceleration. There is plenty of interior space and the back seats fold down for cargo space. The one negative I can describe is the front end is low and when I first bought the car I scraped the bottom of the front bumper on a steep driveway entrance. Also I wish the horn had the "old bug" sound.
Allison H
on April 15, 2020
It is very small but I love beetles from the 1960s and 1970s so this is more affordable and easier to find parts for without having to have a vintage car.
I love the look of the car. I don't like how small it is but of course it is a small car so that is expected. I like the gas mileage compared to the suv I previously owned.
Ashley D
on March 21, 2020
My vehicle is white with black interior. It has plenty of cup holders!
My car is fun to drive and runs well. I like the style and color. I also enjoy only needing an oil change every 10, 000 miles. I did have some issues with the ac which was difficult to replace and the cost of repairing the vehicle is high compared to other types of vehicles.
Karen B
on March 21, 2020
It is comfy and affordable!
My beetle has tons of head and legroom! Volkswagen now offers a fantastic extended warranty. The service shop is efficient, clean, and friendly. They wash my car every time I take it in for service. I love that I only have to have the engine serviced 1x a year! I get great gas mileage.
Johanna R
on March 19, 2020
The design in black is a head turner. I always get complimented.
I enjoy the reliability. Love the design. The car has great pick up. The interiors well designed. Love my sunroof and the gas mileage is great. For the two years I have had it it's been a great car. It has the same great performance one would expect from a VW.
Sara L
on March 10, 2020
Perfect combination of fun and sleek.
I absolutely love my car. I have never had any problems. It has such a fun and sleek design. My favorite feature is the colored inside details on the dash. I also love the small detail of the checkered pattern on the seat. I can easily drive long distances and feel comfortable for the entirety of the drive.

Keily H

The stock materials are cheap and there are no resources for fixing things yourself, you have to take it to a dealership.
It's cute and compact and drives great most of the time. Every once in a while I'll get some error with the sensors that's expensive to fix. I have less than 30k miles on it and I've spent $900 on repairs just this year.
Maggie E
on January 31, 2020
Comfy, spacious interior; great gas mileage
It may have been a recall , but the steering wheel is weird. Sometimes you have to turn/jangle the wheel in order to turn the key. The car is super comfortable to people of all sizes - even someone who is 6 foot 6 inches tall and 400 pounds. The heated, leather seats are wonderful and durable. The interior of the car is bigger than it appears and I have used it to move across the country before with plenty of room to store stuff. Great gas mileage and a great road tripping car.
Allison A
on January 26, 2020
Classic cult car - Volkswagen beetle.
The car was bought brand new when I was in a pinch for a vehicle. Then, I realized the beetle is a classic cult car. This car is really safe and the parts are easily replaceable. It gets hot from the black interior and one time the a/c gave out. It seems like it can last for years and years reliably.

Volkswagen Beetles have wonderful gas mileage and handle great in snow and on dry roads.
I love my Volkswagen Beetle! I love how the seats feel. I also love the great gas mileage. It's perfect for short trips and long ones too. It handles amazingly! I don't think I can come up with one single complaint!
Hannah G
on December 25, 2019
Treat it with care and it won't give you problems. It's hard to judge how much space you have up front when parking. I'm either too close it too far.
I love how open and spacious my car in on the inside even though it's small on the outside. It has a lot of compartments. The only thing I don't like is how I have to press the trunk button on my key in order to open the trunk no matter what. Even if the car is unlocked.
Mary G
on December 24, 2019
Light blue VW beetle 2012.
My vehicle is really visually appealing. I love the unique design and color, but it is lacking mechanically. I have had the air conditioning break down twice within my 2 years of owning it and have also experienced many issues with the gears that have yet to be checked out. The ride is very loud and bumpy due to it being so close to the ground. When I am transporting more than just myself in the car, gas mileage is terrible because it is easily weighed down.
Anita H
on December 20, 2019
Fun to drive, cool design.
Great performance, and reliability. Like roomy overhead, and hatch, but could use a driver side armrest, and rear seats are not conducive for other passengers. Preventive maintenance is key, but must be done at a Volkswagen dealer, as other repair businesses, are not familiar with basics, and do not have the proper equipment, i.e. , Proper wheel lug nut removal, proper filters, including the 10, 000 mile oil change filter.
Brooke S
on December 13, 2019
How I feel about my 2012 VW BEETLE
I like the sound in my car because it has Fender speakers. I like the leather interior and the way it drives/steers. The only issue I have is that the service/engine/tire lights sometimes come on when nothing is wrong and don't go off until I get it reset at the dealership
Susan J
on December 13, 2019
Fun to drive. Gas mileage is not what it was supposed to be.
Love the car. Hate the gas mileage. . Very fun to drive. Not sure what else to add except that I would purchase a new beetle again.
Lee S
on November 29, 2019
Good on gas and a small reliable car
The dashboard is very long so it makes it hard to see. Comfortable ride though! I think that the trunk could have more space, but other than that it's reliable. It is okay on gas. Fill up at least twice a week. It comes with a cute set of flowers by the steering wheel that coordinates with the color of the car
Alexis K
on November 24, 2019
I would say Volkswagen beetle would be a less expensive choice.
Well, I have had no vehicle problems that have occurred by the vehicle itself. The car is quite low to the ground so straying of the road onto curbs or onto rough terrain. The car is pretty great on gas mileage and new tires are pretty cheap as well. The car also comes with Bluetooth to connect your phone for easy hand free talking. It also has a leather seat feel which handles most smells with easy clean up. It is small, allowing for easy handling. The seats are comfortable and have a wide moving aspect for small and bigger people. This only affects people who are sitting in the back. There are only two doors making it difficult to drive with more than one passenger because of such little leg space in the back.
Nikki C
on November 20, 2019
The styling on the dashboard pays homage to the VW Beetles of yore.
My car is so peppy. The pickup on it is INSANE. If you suddenly decide you want to go fast, boy, can you ever! The car handles almost like a sports car, it will FLY down the highway, and it's small and easy to park. One downfall? Because of the turbo engine, you have to use 93 Octane gasoline... But worth it!
Bree W
on November 4, 2019
Decent but will not purchase again.
My beetle is 8 years old and in the past year I have had to put down $5,000 in necessary repairs, and just found out another $4,000 are required for the suspension. The car is barely worth half that at this point. It is comfortable enough for short drives but not more than that. The gas mileage is good and trunk space is decent for a compact car. 5-star crash test safety rating. However I would not buy this car or even a Volkswagen again.
Patricia G
on October 27, 2019
Excellent car, love it! Hope it lasts forever.
Comfortable ride, love the heated seats, economical, service every 10, 000 miles quiet, excellent car. Would definitely buy this model again, in fact, it is my second one. Highly disappointed they have discontinued manufacturing this model. Would have liked to buy another in the future.
Kathryn K
on October 26, 2019
Easy to drive. Very solid ride.
It is a convertible. Very good on gas. Dislike how low the seats are. Sometimes seats are hard to move.
Autumn S

Don't be afraid of bugs, you will fall in love with this Beetle!
I absolutely love my Volkswagen beetle. I love the way it hugs the road, it's smooth acceleration, and quick break time. I have had my car for two years, and have had no problems with it. It's sound system is amazing, and having the Bluetooth feature is such a plus! The car's heated seats and air-conditioning are amazing and so comfortable! As far as visibility goes, I would say make sure the headrests in the back are all the way down, because they can be a little bit of a hindrance for shorter drivers. Overall, purchasing my 2012 Volkswagen Beetle has been one of the best decisions I have made, I love my bug!
Hannah D
on September 29, 2019
Good quality, low gas mileage
The vehicle does not have good gas mileage. It is very reliable. Although it is a coup, it is a comfortable car. I have had some problems with the engine in the past but they seem to have gotten better when I began to consistently get my car serviced.
Katie C
on September 26, 2019
The 2012 Volkswagen beetle and it is heated seats.
I love the smooth transition when switching gears. It is very different than the last car I had, which was a Nissan Sentra. The 2012 Volkswagen beetle includes heated seats for the driver and passenger, and it even has a sunroof. The trunk has lots of space too!
Kelli G
on September 20, 2019
It is so cute! I love my car. I wish I could keep it forever, but I need a bigger car.
I have had my windshield crack 2 times since I've owned it. I do a lot of highway driving, but I feel like the shape of the front end makes it more susceptible to damage on the window. I haven't been thrilled with the service from VW.
Bella H
on September 20, 2019
I think VW bugs are awesome!
I love my beetle. It is reliable and safe. It gets good gas mileage and has a large gas tank. It look very nice inside and out. It has leather seats and a very large sunroof. It has amazing features like Bluetooth and handsfree calling. I have never had any problems with it at all. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.
Madeline G
on September 18, 2019
The VW Beetle is as 'cute as a bug'.
The Beetle is quick to respond even being a 4-cylinder. It can pass other cars even on the freeway. Being small, it's easy to park except for a blind spot near the back. However, it's a bit uncomfortable to get in/out. The doors are a bit large for a small car.
Celeste B

Great vehicle for someone without children.

She's a quick and nimble turbo. She has some glitches, however, involving her door locks and windows.
Freddy K

It is a beetle, and they do not make them anymore.
Nice quiet car that goes pretty nice on the road, had couple of problems with the transmission because something flew under the car but got it fixed. I have had the car for about 3 years and I barely have problems with the car, I have taken good care of it and I drive it every day.
Gaby F
on August 19, 2019
It is a cute car that is okay to drive.
The vehicle overall is okay. I like the interior of the car and the seats are nice. It is a little difficult to drive, but that is fine. It is not as smooth as other vehicles I have driven. The main issue is the car has low visibility which can make driving a bit more uncomfortable.
Lezlie S
on August 3, 2019
It's fun! I love that people are always asking about it and telling me how cute it is
I love the fact that my car is unique. I even have white wall tires! MY only complaint is that VWs are notoriously hard to work on
Jacob T
on July 31, 2019
Love the pop of color on this vehicle!
I truly enjoy my vehicle and do not have many cons to say about my choice in purchasing it. The only issues I have ever had with the vehicle were due to age or a factory recall. My favorite part about this particular vehicle is the interior dashboard design. I love the pop of color that the red dashboard gives off!
Amy M
on July 20, 2019
Fun vehicle, reliable ride.
The car it is self runs great. Interior is small so it is not ideal for backseat passengers. Up keep on the vehicle can be expensive as it is an import vehicle. Gas mileage is good. I have traveled across the country in this vehicle and it has not given me issues and I was comfortable the entire time.
Mackenzie F

2012 Volkswagen beetle - excellent vehicle for you!
No issues at all! I love this car - it does great and even though it is known to be smaller, it is very spacious inside and has great trunk space! I tend to road trip often too. Love this vehicle as my daily driver! If you are not sure if this is the right car, please go out and test drive one! You will not regret it!

VW beetle is a fun little car with great gas mileage.
I love my Volkswagen beetle! It has a ton of personality and is a fun little car to drive. It gets great gas mileage, which is important to me given I live in a city and commute 15-20 min to and from work. It can get a little pricey if service is needed since it is not domestically produced, but otherwise, I am a big fan!
Oliver S
on June 11, 2019
If you get this car get the 6 speed manual, very well worth it
Had the car for a year now and I love it! The only problem I've had was the coil packs started to go out around 45,000 thousand miles. But they are easy to replace. Performance is good and decent gas mileage for a turbocharged car, I get around 32 miles to the gallon highway, city is around 25.

Issues of a 2012 Volkswagen beetle.
My black 2012 Volkswagen beetle car is wonderful. It gets me where I need to go and that is all I need it to do. The main issues that I have with my Volkswagen beetle is that the internal sensors are too sensitive. The (!) Sensor on the dashboard is always going off for my tires, but when I check there is nothing wrong with my tire pressure and all of the tires are in normal range. It is also a bit irritating that having a foreign car means I have to pay more for parts.

The pros and Cons of my 2012 Beetle
Burns oil terribly! That's really my only problem. Gets good gas mileage on longer trips. It would be nice automatic headlights. It does ride ok. Wish it had more room in the back. A car seat doesn't really fit in there. Not even an infant car seat will sit back there properly...

It surprises me how it goes fast from a stop and the gas mileage is great.
I love my VW beetle for gas mileage, compact car, fun to drive, and the style of the car. It is small enough to park in smaller parking places and it has pick up and go when I need it! The car is reliable and I have had no problems with breakdowns. Everything comments on how cute it is and they wish they had one.

A classic to have in your house
It is a German car, reliable, accurate, strong, beauty, well done. I would recommend this car to everyone who wants to have the best car. High levels of performance. Gas performance. Great to travel. The design is a truly gem to have this days. Great for couples

VW vehicles have always been safer vehicles,
It's small and dependable. Great for getting to work and running errands. Not exactly the best to drive people around in as it is cramped but it gets the job done. Some problems include: A musty odor may be noted from the heating, ventilation and AC unit

Excellent gas mileage. Easy to find parking. Never breaks down.
Very reliable. Never breaks down. Have not had to change tires yet. So far, have only gone in for routine tune up and oil change. Very easy to find parking as this car is small. Comfortable for myself but would not be for someone who is tall (I am 5'2'). Gets great gas mileage. The one thing that is not good is you cannot move any big items. Have to rent a truck or workers for that.

2012 VW beetle is decent, especially with fuel.
The vehicle is small yet it has plenty room on the inside. It saves gas and is great for commuting. You can fit a car seat in the back but you need to move the car seat to the most forward position. All in all a decent car if your looking for something small, great on gas mileage, and good handling.

Everyone loves my car, it super cool.
I have had and electrical issue with the door locks, the timing chain broke, and a leak in the vacuum system. It handles well and looks great. I have a lot of trouble with the low profile tires, I have a lot of flat tires. Interior is attractive, control panel is great. Although it is super annoying that any time the outside temp is 39 f or below it dings at me and changes my display to the temp.

It's fun to drive and it looks as cute as possible for a car.
I love my Volkwagen beetle. It is comfortable enough for a tall person, like me (6'7") and is very fun to drive around in on hot days with the top down.

Small, fast and easy to drive
As of today I do not have any real complaints about my VW Beetle. I would however only recommend it to an experienced driver. It has many blind spots and the tires don't always do well in the rain. Other than those issues it is a great car.

Dependable and reliable. It always starts and runs great.
My beetle has the larger tires so it sits up higher off the ground. It has had only routine maintenance since purchase. It has navigation system and a satellite radio. It is very comfortable to ride in. Smooth ride.

My car runs well and has not broken down. The steering is amazing.
The car drives very well I love how the steering works. I find it a little small, especially the backseat, it he trunk area is more spacious than you’d think. The car is also short so it is not meant for tall people like myself. The engine and tire lights are troublesome, but no problems where I break down or run out of gas or anything. It has good gas mileage and it does not take more than $30 to fill it up from empty.

For being a beetle I feel like it is very roomy for its size.
I love my car. The gas pedal is a little touchy if you are not used to a smaller car. The breaks are perfect. I did buy my car used as a repo. The only problems I have had was a recall and broken sensors. I will say that getting the sensor fixed costed a bit.

Super fun Volkswagen beetle!
The 2012 beetle drives like a sports car, has more cargo room than you would think and so far has been totally reliable. The manual seat adjustment can be a bit of a drag for a car that otherwise has plenty of bells and whistle, such as navigation, Bluetooth connection and heated seats. Rear visibility can be a little challenging so a backup camera would be helpful.
