2013 Volkswagen Beetle consumer reviews

When I bought this car off the new lot I was excited for how it looked and felt. When the first rain came and the hatchback trunk retained the water, pouring water into both the back seat and the trunk when opening the trunk long after rain had stopped, I brought my car back to VW. They told me that there was no issue and that’s just how the car is designed. How is that not an issue?! I cannot open my trunk till a day after it rains, hoping it doesn’t rain 2 days in a row. There is more issues, as there always will be. When a part of the sunroof (I got the fancy silver beetle with the black roof and special upgrades all over it) was recalled, the VW mechanics ripped the fabric that blocks the sunroof when not in use. They claimed it was already ripped, which was a lie, and since then the rip only gets bigger so I have not been able to use the sunroof since. It should not of been made with that cheap fabric in the first place. As far as cheap parts goes, it didn’t take long after warranty was over for lots of the cheap plastic things to start breaking around the car. I cannot turn on the overhead lights anymore as they literally just fell without being touched more then 5 times. My car is only used for going to work and groceries, which everything is within 5-10 miles from me so my mileage and usage is much much lower then the average person. Anyways another thing that added to the list of issues after a few years included the driver’s door not locking majority of the time. With this car you always have to check the door without the key nearby or use the key lock, which hides under a plastic cover at the driver’s door handle. It not being able to lock actually gets very irritating because if it is unable to autolock while the car is in motion, you will constantly hear “click, click” every few seconds through your entire drive. That part makes me a little glad I don’t have long drives, because how does anyone else deal with this? I love how the car looks for I was fan of the Beetle design when I was little, but I loathe my car. The only thing that keeps me from trading is the dealerships knowing those beetles aren’t worth for anything so trade in value is xxxx, and every time I save up the money something major goes on in life to zap my savings away. Unlucky to be stuck with a lemon, especially when VW used to be known for cars that last so for them to make such a flawed car is ridiculous.

The vehicle I purchased is very dependable. I would recommend it to all my friends. Thanks to all who help make this experience very enjoyable

I love my new toy. The wind blowing through my hair when the top is down is awesome. The car handles great, accelerates well when entering the highway or passing, has seat warmers and lots of bells and whistles. Very happy with my purchase.

Love the car. Mid life crisis car for a guy who can't get a Corvette or Mustang due to 15 year old kid. Top comes down in seconds. Handling good if not like the Stealth I once owned. Insurance very reasonable; torque good with the TDI; fun to drive; mileage phenomenal. Not practical, but that is why we have a van.

This car is so sharp with the updated features; it was beyond my expectations and in excellent condition!!! This model is bigger and sleeker. Loving the convertible top!

We recently purchased a 2013 VW Beetle convertible. The process was simple and Road Ready Used Cars delivered a car that is absolutely beautiful. Our friends think the car is brand new and it is 7 years old! We highly recommend this dealership if you are looking for a pre-owned vehicle.

Stylish, perfect cruiser for two people. A definite head turner. 5 cylinder 2.5l engine with 175HP. All equipment functions perfectly. LED driving lights and trunk light. I took it to San Diego a few times and totally enjoyed driving with the roof down. Good on gas.

Looking for replacement car for mine that was totaled. Always love VW bugs and saw this one and am very happy to have it. Car is reliable, economical, and looks great.

Have a turbo convertible with 6 speed manual. It's fast, fun, and amazingly quiet on the highway. The top works great, is very solid, and even the trunk is not bad considering it is a convertible. Overall, a great fun car to own.

I’ve always loved Volkswagen beetles, one being the first car I ever purchased. I traded that first pedal in for a mini Cooper and found myself yearning for my old beetle, so when I decided it was time for a new car I have course looked into the new beetle style and what Volkswagens upgrades had to offer. I was so jazzed at what I found, the performance interior and reliability of the engine is just overwhelmingly amazing in the new models. Adult moment aesthetically or while driving this vehicle! In love!!
