I love my Bucket List Ride

Great performance, love the Fender sound system. Having trouble with backup camera. View is not great, not working at times. Receive message 'currently unavailable '. Great gas mileage, have traveled all over US in it and very comfortable. Perfect for 2 people.

Likes and dislikes of my VW.

My beetle gets 42 mpg. The seats are roomy and it's fun to drive. Maintenance is low cost. VWs are fun, economical cars. The purchase price was reasonable. Only problem is not enough leg room in back seat. If you are tall, your legs are cramped. But overall, it's a good little car.

One of the best cars ever-IMO

I love this car, it's definitely one of my favorite vehicles I have ever owned. It picks up speed quickly, it has a heavy weight feeling so even on windy days it doesn't feel like you're driving a tin can. The only criticism I have had with this vehicle is getting the 'inspection due' to be removed from the screen when you start the car. I was able to turn off the oil change notification but not that message.

He's zippy and fun - and people still punch each other when I drive by!

I love my Bug. This one is actually a replacement beetle. I got my first Beetle in 2001 and it's still on the road with 200k miles. I have never had a car as reliable, relatively low-maintenance and overall fun to drive.

Convertible Beetle that looks great

My car has a lot of great features like Bluetooth connectivity. And a convertible automatic. It has leather seats that are adjustable. It has durable tires also and a beautiful platinum color. It has a front panel that is durable with great ac and a warmer for seats too.

Cool car with scary problems.

At first everything was fine but now for some reason it seems as though my drivers side door does not lock. It sounds like it does, but you can walk up and open the door without the key. My car also has stalled while driving. It is an automatic. I do not know why it is doing this.

Katie C

It is safe and reliable. It gets me where I need to go.

I have always wanted a bug ever since I was a little girl. Having my very own one is a dream come true. It's small just like I wanted, pretty and safe.

Taylor A

It is my baby. I take really good care of it because it takes me places that I want to travel.

I love how cute it looks. It also has great fuel economy so it doesn't use up a lot of gas. It is really fun to drive. I have no complaints.

Beetle 2015 review- do not get unless you have the $$ for the constant repairs.

The car runs smoothly and you feel that you have control of the wheel. But, unfortunately the repairs are expensive and have problems with the computer system.

Vi T

Great gas saver and dependable automobile

I semi love my 2015 Volkswagen Beetle but what I don't like that when it rains the car tires something lose friction that cause the car to slide across the road. My automatic windows sometimes get stuck that they down want to go down or come back up. Overall it a really dependable car despite the minor glitches.

YADAV Y

SPACE IS LOW AS COMPARED TO OTHERS LIKE TATA AND MAHINDRA

SPACE IS LOW AND MILEAGE IS POOR. LOOKWISE NOT SO COOL NOT SUITABLE FOR LONG DRIVE

Susan T

2015 Volkswagen beetle dependable and reliable gas saver vehicle.

Overall my vehicle is dependable and reliable. It's a great gas saver, does not take too much money to fill the gas tank up. But it small car so it might be uncomfortable for a person that tall. The only fault I find with my vehicle that sometimes my car slides off the road.

Alyssa C

I really like the interior design, white on tan looks really good.

The gas pedal lags when you press on it so you have to do it slow enough to not jump the car, cup holder is not strong enough, manual seats, I really do not have any other problems with it. I like the way it drives, speed is good and performs well. The seats are comfortable for the most part, the exterior design is nice, better than the older version.

Classic beetle with black exterior and classic interior.

The navigation system is horrible but I have heard it has been upgraded with newer models. It is very comfortable for two people but hard for anyone to get in and out of the back seat. Trunk space is good. We have the turbo boost option that makes it a really fun car to drive!

Charlie C on May 28, 2021

For a small, economical vehicle, my beetle has plenty of got-up-and-went.

I am 6'2' and I fit well into the driver's seat: plenty of legroom and headroom and the seat is comfortable for a long trip. The cruise control works well and is easy to control. The steering wheel-mounted gauge control gives you excellent information.
