I miss my beetle

I absolutely loved my beetle, I babied it! I recently traded it in as I am now a mother and now own a new Kia Soul, I love my new vehicle but I think of my beetle every day. It's style interior and exterior was so pretty and something to be proud of, the volkswagen community was amazing and dealing with people who work for VW were amazing also, Ive had nothing but problems with my new Soul so I definately made a huge mistake in this trade in. I wish I didn't get rid of my beetle.

No problems yet

Fender Edition. Wow. Big style change. Men can drive it. Not quite a sports car though because it is front wheel drive. Transmission sometimes hesitates briefly when taking off, (almost like it sometimes wants to take off in second gear).

Fun car to drive.

I love this car. It feels like the car is wrapped around you. Handles really well and steering is tight. Decent gas mileage and no repairs yet. Good car for two senior citizens.

My Fender Beetle

I love my 2013 Beetle! It's the Fender Edition and I get nothing but compliments everywhere I go! It's sleek, stylish, comfortable and drives like the fine German Machine that it is! I have had no problems with it whatsoever and would recommend it to all my friends!

First time VW owner

I have a 2013 vw beetle and it ended up being my second car and I have to say I was actually impressed by the it considering people seem to judge it so harshly. I only have a 2.5 liter engine, it's super fun to drive and actually pretty quick, I couldn't imagine how the boosted ones are. The one thing I have to say is that I constantly have problems with the Bluetooth and the blind spots on the driver side and passenger side pillars are pretty bad. Overall though, I've enjoyed the car and I might stick with German cars from now on.

Always A VW

I love Volkswagen Beetles. I've had 7 during my life. I now have a 2013 droptop beetle. I brought it new off the floor. It is reliable and it takes care me as I do it. Only issue I've had was with my top which was minor and a easy fix. But I would never in life by a use VW because you never know what you might get

Nothing but Good Things to say !!

I just purchased a 2013 bug as a part of the TDI Scandal. This is my third purchase and I have had nothing but a great experience in all respects. I am probable one of a handful of folks who buy a bug with modifying it as a part of my purchase decision. BUT I like different and modable cars and the bug as well as all the VW's are perfect for adding crazy horsepower and a host of other items that will turn this car into a true fun beast to drive. I will be in the VW family for many years to come.
