The yellow bug: amazing fun car but with the best comes some downfalls.
Car is very nice only issue I go through is the fact that the hubcaps come off very easily. When hitting a little bump or anything they come off. Sound system is very well and it is a lot more spacious than people believe. Also, very good on gas! Another thing to add would be winter time it is not the best. The care is not great in the snow and can be very hard to drive and gets stuck often.

Little red 2014 VW beetle.
It has far more space in it than you would think. It is fast. I like the color and that there's lights on the inside. I have had the car for 6 years and never had any issues. The only downside is that services are expensive. I just did a 50,000 mile service and spent $1600. I love my car.

Beetle mania - not your basic sedan.
I love my beetle. She is fun to drive, has good pick-up, comfortable, and surprisingly roomy. I love driving her, but I have lots of near misses because other drivers do not see me, so they start coming over into my lane. This happens multiple times a week. I have never had so many other drivers not see me on the road in any other car. Since it is a German car not all auto shops will work on it. A lot of the time I end up having to go to the dealership which can be more expensive. In 5 years she has needed 2 batteries. I also had to replace the radiator and water pump which was pricey. I am hard on tires, so I have had to replace those several times. She only requires oil changes every 10,000 miles which is nice. She is a reliable car, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone that was thinking about buying one.

This is a small reliable and fun car.
This car is wonderful! It handles like a dream, and is easy to maintain. I have had no major problems with it in the 8 years I have owned it. The only issue you may run into is putting people in the back seats, not much room. However, if you are single and looking for something to drive around town this is the car for you.

It is a party car! I am in love!
No problems so far, performance is great, quick on the wheels, and average 30 mpg. Reliability is a must for me, driving long distances, and this car has never given me as issue. Parts and accessories are on the inexpensive side, so you can dress it up without breaking the bank.

It's definitely got some zip!
I haven't had any problems so far, though I will say the shifter can feel a bit rough at times. While it is super fun to drive, the visibility on the sides is not good, and I have to physically turn my head around to check blind spots. It handles like a dream, regardless of the weather and has a decent amount of speed on it too. All leather interior is very comfortable on long drives, and believe it or not there is a crazy amount of trunk space.

My VW beetle is my favorite car ever!
I absolutely love my Volkswagen beetle. It is a convertible. Tdi. It is very comfortable and super fun to drive, also runs very smoothly and gets fantastic gas mileage - 30-35 in town and 40 plus on the highway. Sometimes I forget which side the gas tank is on because I do not have to get gas/diesel very often. I have only had this car for about eight or nine months but have not had any problems at all. It is surprisingly comfortable for a little car... We took it on a long road trip and had no issues with being comfortable at all.
Kelsey C
on January 7, 2021
It is small, but roomie and you have a big trunk.
I love my car because it is small and cute. It is good on gas, but long distance it is not so that sucks. And it is very spacious for a small car.

Driving is fun again, give it a try.
Fun to drive. Very agile and responsive. Everything on the dash is conveniently located and within easy reach. The front seating is very comfortable and is adjustable. Fuel economy is good and have the stick shift option and no clutch I great. Handles great in snow and ice.

Pro's and con's to buying a 2014 VW beetle.
The only problem I have found was the brakes are a bit spongy and if I slam on the brakes I skid. It is performance is amazing. The gas tank goes a long way and I love that it feels like the seats are hugging me. The turning radius is also impeccable; it turns on a dime!

Great, practical convertible.
I love this car, but the blind spots are very bad. My boyfriend is constantly asking me to look over my shoulder when he backs out of parking spaces. It also does not have much storage, but that comes with the territory of purchasing a two-door beetle convertible!
Emily K
on November 8, 2020
Best for your buck; never regretted this purchase.
This car has extremely comfortable seats, and the heated seats is a plus for sure. I have never had a problem with this car in the six years that I have owned it. The heavy doors are great in order to ensure I will be safe if I am in an accident, and the trunk (once the back seats are down) is very spacious. I have moved myself from one residence to another with just this car.
Celia P
on November 2, 2020
Green beetle performance these days.
I like that is very comfortable, it is spacious, and I feel that it goes with my style. I use it mainly for going to college and for work, it has never given me any type of problem. The motor is strong enough to go up on hills, and on highways at a high speed, but it is very stable, so I feel really safe driving it.
Madison E

Love my beetle - her name is Janet.
I love my beetle - electrical issues have been a problem in the 2 years I have owned it. If it is really windy out the car will sway a bit. It gets great gas mileage. My tire pressure light has been on for over a year despite consistently filling them with air.
Heather P
on October 24, 2020
Cute and fun to drive, great gas mileage.
Love my beetle convertible, the road noise sometimes makes it hard to hear the radio and there is a blind spot when backing up. It is fun to drive though. The back seat is very small so it is almost impossible for anyone to ride in the back seat.It does have good acceleration.
Hannah W

Pros of a Volkswagen beetle!
I Haven't experienced any negative problems with my vehicle. I have found that it drives smoothly, has great gas mileage, and is comfortable for someone like me. It is much roomier than you’d expect, which is great. Although it is not enormous, for a new driver, I think it is the perfect fit.
Jessica D
on October 10, 2020
Only 3 different models were made. The first, 2nd and 3rd generations.
My vehicle is great. I am glad with my purchase and I am almost done paying for it. I have had it since 2015. In that entire 5 year duration, it is had zero major problems or issues. Other than the few recalls, I could say this car has been perfect. It is great on gas. It drives smoothly. It is cute. It gets me where I need to go with no issues. I can always count on it. I never want to get rid of it.
Mary M

Small turbo and size, but big energy.
Not many problems, doors are very heavy but good when there are windy days. The seats are very comfortable and the car drives very smoothly. There is a CD player for those who like listening to CD and an aux outlet for those who prefer Spotify or apple music. The sport mode is very easy to understand and gear shifting as well. The car on average does about 27 mpg on the highway and about 32 on a normal day. Filling up my tank is very easy, I am almost at 80,000 miles and still no mechanical problems.

Great first car for teens!
The only problems I have with my car is the Bluetooth system not catching my voice other than that my car runs smoothly and gas money is great! It cost at least 30-35 bucks for a full tank! The Volkswagen goes fast smooth ride and has good sound system the car is very spacious and lots of room for little ones in the back.
Kay L
on September 6, 2020
I love the flat trunk with the recessed spare tire.
The 2014 beetle has been reliable with very few problems. It has plenty of headroom as well as leg room and the seats are fully adjustable. One problem is that the back seat does not lay down fully, which makes it a little difficult to carry groceries. Another problem has been the trunk. It didn't latch correctly at first, however, after many trips to 2 different dealers, it is finally fixed!
Amy W
on August 29, 2020
This car is tiny but mighty.
My beetle is very nice, it accelerates quickly and is more comfortable than people would think. I like the amount of space it has and I think it is a good first car. There are a few downsides being that it can be expensive to keep up with and some people might not like a small car, however I do.

Zippy little Volkswagen beetle.
The VW beetle is my dream car. I love the zippy drive it has while being great on gas. The cars interior has a vintage feel with its trim matching the color of the car. It also has interior lights you can change depending on your mood. It has the sunroof I always wanted.
Katie A

You need to get this car!!
It is an amazing beautiful car. It is always reliable, never fails on me. My car is super comfortable and is gorgeous and can fit all my groceries in the trunk as well for such a small car. It is baby blue, which always catches everyone’s attention. The interior is a black leather and it has seat warmers. The car is really easy to clean because the seats move back and forward all the way so if you happen to drop something or need an easy car to clean this one is it. Always it is small enough that you can reach the top of the ceiling so every bit of the car is clean! And like I said the trunk is very roomy and you can actually fit 4 people in the car which is amazing!
Jessica M
on July 18, 2020
Never had any major issues at all. Everything was minor which we fixed quickly.
The performance is great. I have had it 5 years and there's never been a major issue. My issues come with the size of the interior in which the trunk is build awkwardly. It is hard to put things in it for my arts and crafts projects. Also, it does not seem to be enough room for my kids so we tend to take my husband's car more.
Leigha S

Cute car, but very basic and cheesy!
Very basic. Cute car but has had some mechanical issues. Very poor gas mileage. Nice and fast. Nice trunk space. Not very good back seat space. Center console is very cheesy. Radio is not the best. Very small mirrors and very bad blind spots. Nice rims.

Beetle: city driving. Beetle buggy boogie time.
It is a great car and fun to drive. It is a very good car for city driving, especially when it comes to parallel parking. The steering wheel can occasionally be a little shaky if you accelerate too fast, but other than that, it is a great ride, especially for a small car.
Amy J
on July 2, 2020
My beetle is a great car. It has great gas mileage and a smooth ride.
Never had any problems with my car. Great gas mileage. I have took it on three trips to Denver, Galveston and Memphis. It is very comfortable and has warming seats. The only drawback is seeing out the side view mirrors. It can be difficult seeing blind spots. The only improvement I would recommend is to have a safety feature that beeps when you back the car up.
Mary C
on June 28, 2020
The drive is smooth but gadgets can be troublesome.
The wheel stabilization indicator does not work and is always on. I have had my wheels checked multiple times and it cannot be reset. Also the convertible switch rattles and there is no way to make it stop. Both of these have been impossible to diagnose.

Volkswagen beetle-comfy-compact-cute- and ready for the next adventure!
I love this car so much! It is incredibly cozy and compact so it fits into any small tight areas. The sound system is amazing and leather seats are beautiful. I would recommend this car to any young car owners who do not have any kids. The car is small and compact so there is not much space in the back but it is not something that I mind too much!

The back seat is more spacious than expected.
Sometimes the windows don't stay sealed so rain slowly gets into the car. Had to take it to the shop to get repaired multiple times.

Mackenzie B

Comfortable and sporty take on the classic beetle.
Very comfortable, nice large moonroof, good sound system and touch screen display. Has been reliable so far! Drives smoothly and is roomier than you would think. Suspension is nice so the car handles well. Leather heated seats in winter, and strong ac with big windows and sunroof that opens in different ways, makes it perfect all year round.
Keeley L
on April 25, 2020
Smooth, compact vehicle that gets you where you need to go.
Had it five years and it still drives really well! The gas isn't so bad either. It does take premium because it is turbo charged but it is surprisingly pretty gas friendly. Only downside is how cramped it is inside. I am a small person so I am pretty happy with the size but when I have friends and family join me for a ride it is not a pleasant experience for them.
Kayla G

2014 Volkswagen beetle gas mpg.
I personally love my vehicle the only complaint I have is the gas mileage. It is a 5 cyl engine so it uses more gas averaging 22 mpg in town. The vehicle also has bad blind spots because of the bubbly shape in the back. The inside comfort and style is perfect.
Fab P
on April 1, 2020
Good looking impractical car.
Good looking care, good gas mileage, good size for one or two. Small trunk, not cheap to maintain and hard on suspension. Fairly quiet on highway, good sound system/radio. Enough storage small glove box. Well built. Expensive to buy but overall reliable if properly maintained.

I absolutely love my Volkswagen beetle! I have wanted one since I was a little girl and had a barbie car just like it! My first car was a high end luxury car and I pick this car over that any day!! It drives so smooth and it is really fast. I love that it has sport mode! It is like having two cars in one.
Alyssa Y

The most affordable car of my dreams.

Maureen H

The most important thing about this car is that it is safe and reliable.
I love my VW Beetle. It is basically a tank in the snow, which I would have never expected. I have barely had to have any work done on it (Just tires) since I purchased it 4 years ago. I would 100% recommend this car to anyone, unless you need a lot of space.
Eric S
on January 17, 2020
My favorite details is the diesel gas and engine performance.
The gas is a little jumpy on the uptake but all around great car. I like the speed velocity and mpg. It doesn't have very many performance problems and was rough idling once or twice but nothing of a major concern for long term usage. The window rattles a bit too.

Sleek Light Blue Volkswagen Beetle
The car is very quick and as a great interior. I love the simple design of the interior. The acceleration is great and the handling is very precise. The dashboard is very simple and does not have any extras that are unnecessary. There is Bluetooth calling and connection for music but there is not apple play.
Noah M
on December 12, 2019
It has a red trim and a glossy black plastic around the entire car.
Great speed. I have never had any problems with this car. It is absolutely the best car I have ever had and I do not think I will be switching cars until I absolutely have to. It gets me to and from where I need to go and it has new things that were just put into it so I can connect my phone to it and use maps and connect my Bluetooth to it for music to play.
Mary W

Two challenges with Volkswagen beetle.
The biggest annoyance is that the switch for the convertible top rattled all the time. Even if you take this in to get fixed, they cannot fix it. Also the tire light will not turn off either. Different shops have tried different thing a bit it still will not reset.
Esther G
on October 31, 2019
I like how it is modern, yet has a vintage vibe with the radio.
Small, but spacious, and not bad gas mileage. It does not have any problems with performance, it drives smooth and breaks smoothly. I am not a car expert, but I do enjoy and like my car. The comfort is great. Although it is a two door car, the seats move easily to access the back seats, so that is really nice.
Kylie A

Great car! It is unique, special, smooth ride and so much more.
I really love this car it is small and compact year still has enough room. Also I can park anywhere and do not have any problems so far.

The gas mileage is not the best. Other than that everything is perfect.
Volkswagen beetles are the best car. They're super reliable. The only real “issue” with the car is that the gas mileage is not the best. So if you drive a ton this car is not for you but if you only drive it locally it is perfect.

I have always loved Volkswagen beetles. It has been my dream car since I was a little girl. I love how spacious it is on the inside. A lot of people think they look cramped inside but there is way more room then expected. I like the way it drives smoothly. It is also very fuel efficient. I will fill up the tank 1-2 times a month and I drive my car everyday. Volkswagens are very trustworthy.

Helpful tips about the beetle.
I love the style of my bug. One thing I wish was better was the way it rides, it's loud when I drive and makes it difficult to talk on the phone over my hands free. It's also rough when braking as well as I do not have a sunroof. Other than that I love how they use the old bug and made it modern so we can keep loving them.
Jennifer S

Super cute and speedy vehicle!
I love my car! I'drives great and it is super cute! It has been very reliable. It has nice pick up and is easy to drive. The biggest problem is that it is hard to see out the back window when getting out of a parking space. It is also very low to the ground so it can feel small when surrounded by trucks on the highway.

An interesting detail is that it is diesel.
The design is very nice and clean. The Bluetooth music is wonderful and I use it a lot. There's a lot of room in the front, and the overall design is very sleek. The convertible top is amazing and I enjoy it very much. It has great gas mileage too. I have had it for about a year and have had no issues with performance.
Madelyn P
on January 21, 2019
So close to perfect if not for...
It is been really reliable in terms of working as a car. Does not have a backup camera however. The Bluetooth also randomly disconnects and plays a loud pitch noise every time I Does which almost got me into a few accidents in the beginning. But the inside in roomier than you'd expect, it is been consistent, and accurately gives me info such as when I need to check my tires, etc.

2014 Volkswagen beetle, must have for long commutes.

2014 Volkswagen bug - limited edition.
I love my bug - it is an amazing summer car. It gets good gas mileage and is a fun car to drive. Comfortable and easy to maneuver. The only issue I have with this particular car is the winter driving. My previous beetle was amazing in the snow. This beetle is not very good. Even with snow tires and driving very slowly, I slide around corners and have a bit of a hard time in winter. That seems to be the only issue though. Everything else has been wonderful.

Light blue Volkswagen beetle with standard transmission.
My car has standard transmission and it is very fun to drive. Overall, the Volkswagen beetle is a fun car to look at and they have stopped making them, so it is even more unique. I have the pretty standard model, so there are heated seats and a nice radio, but it does not have fancy features such as a back-up camera etc. It has pretty good performance, but on the highway it is a little scary going over 70+ mph. Since it is so small, when there are high winds, you slightly feel the car getting pushed. Overall, it is a great vehicle and many people around town know it is me when I am driving on the road.
Katie M
on December 6, 2018
This cute bug is a good, reliable, and fuel efficient vehicle.
Oil sensor is not working. The Bluetooth capabilities glitch. 4 cylinder turbo engine has a lot of pep. Automatic convertible top is fantastic. Sound systems are average, I do not get the loud bass like I have had with other cars. Heated leather seats are great for Chicago winters. Trunk space and back seat are surprisingly roomy. Good gas mileage.

Sporty convertible beetle!
I really love my 2014 Volkswagen beetle. It is a convertible, with a six speed manual transmission which makes it super fun to drive. It has a spoiler, which enhances the sporty look and feel of the car. It is very reliable, which takes the worry out of going on road trips or even just daily driving.

Awesome vehicle would recommend to must does have some quirks!
Only a few months into owning I had an electrical issue, apparently they are common but not frequent. I really would recommend this vehicle to anyone. It is a German car so it has some quirks that American cars do not have. Such as, on the side to tilt your seat is a gear and everyone who comes into my car I have to reach them how to use it and it is very funny. It has always driven great feels like I am driving on air almost. It is exciting to be able to own my dream car!
