Love the convertible! Makes me happy driving.

Solid for a convertible. Goes surprisingly well in the snow and with the seats down can haul stuff. I have this as my only car and it is actually very practical. Plus, it’s just a joy to drive.

Excellent condition

This car only had 11,000 miles basically a brand new car and it’s an affordable price! Also rides very smooth I can tell it was very taken care of! Love it!

Most features of any car for the great price!

This car was loaded with features I did not expect. For the price it was a tremendous good deal. Leather and heated seats, Fender audio speakers, automatic plus manual transmission, convertible, etc.

Lots of fun to drive

The car is easy to enter and exit. The engine is very responsive and the stability is outstanding. It loves the back roads with twists and turns. Everything electrical and mechanical works and has never been a problem or needed repair. Service intervals are 10,000 miles so it is easy to afford.

Performance / Money value is really good

Great speed Almost no maintenance needed (the casual...) Huge trunk and great space for passengers in the back. Own a model from 2014, the style is still up to date and receive many compliments

Fun to Drive

Once minor inconveniences were fixed, ( the battery died on the 21st day of ownership), the beetle has been fun to drive. The front bumper had to be repaired because of a scrape on it. The dealership did not reveal this and we did not notice it during our test drive. But it was minor, and not a problem to fix.

Great, sport and fun car!

I was looking for a sporty performance car that was economical to operate and could carry four passengers, and this car fits that bill perfectly.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS

I have owned 7 VW Beetles over my lifetime currently I have the 2014 convertible. It has 17,000 miles on it. Took it to the dealer 600 miles ago to have a simple oil change. I get notified that the main seal is bad and they needed to drop the transmission to replace it. They had the car over week. At the same time they found a bad wheel bearing. A few weeks later the fuel pump went bad and that was over $800 to replace. Today it's back at the dealer and the engine cooling fans need to be replaced...Another $1,000. I get told it's not the low mileage it's happening because of the age of the car...I have a feeling they wouldn't be saying that to a man. It's like the car was built with used parts....very disappointed in VW.

Love this Car!

If there was one thing i wasn?t sure about it was the black wheels instead of fancier chrome ones. It handles great and has enough pick up to pass cars. It came with turbo engine. Good gas mileage also. Mine came with blue tooth installed and sound is better than a lot of blue tooths in other friends cars.
