Love bug!

This car rides and handles great, it is so fun to drive. I get at least 30 mpg on every tank. I have plenty of leg and head room.

Our favorite cranky German

We love our Volkswagen Beetle--we call him Otto (auto). He is the perfect cranky German gentleman. Sometimes he feels like opening the trunk. Some times he feels like not opening the passenger door. He is arbitrary and charming and we love his German Gentleman crankiness. We think he is charming and our family loves him.

Fun to drive, easy to drive

This car was perfect for the time period of my life when I was a single female in my 30?s. Don?t recommend it for a family car of more than one infant though. My car was fully loaded, meeting every need I ever wanted.

Worst car I've ever owned.

I used to own a 2005 Volkswagen Beetle, and it broke down every month! It was the most unreliable car I've ever owned.

Excactly what I was looking for

This car is in great condition and is roomy. It has good pick up and the interior is spotless. It has a loaded package with heated seats and sunroof. The car is perfect as my first purchase.

Classiest car I?ve owned

This car is fantastic. Excellent mileage (~28 mi/gal), reliable. The inside of mine is black leather, there?s aux, Bluetooth, heated seats, a thermometer, as well as other little things. Visibility is great, overall comfort is amazing.
