This car is fun and a head turner!

Really nice fun ride. Lots of pick up. I have owned many high dollar sports cars but for the money the bug has really been one the most fun to drive!

Feel vulnerable

The three things i DONT like about this otherwise very cool car are: Blind spots (its a convertible) No back up camera Terrible gas mileage While this car is very cool to look at...its a Turbo Beetle convertible...it is highly impractical.

I always buy VW's because of their reliability.

My 2004 VW beetle turbo is the best VW I ever had ( had 2 Cabrio's before) I will keep this one when I buy a new one.

Very fun car to drive! Windstop is amazing!

This has been a very fun car! We love the windstop! We have had other convertibles, and love the ride of this VW Turbo Beetle. It has a trailer hitch and we pulled a light aluminum trailer with two mopeds. We also drive a VW Tiguan and the ride of the Beetle feels very similar. The heated seats helped us use this into our Minnesota fall season.

R Line

I bought this car when I was just browsing for a future replacement for my currently leased C Class. Its super fast because it's an R Line version. This is a 6 six speed and I'm really enjoying driving it. The only shortcomings are in the technology. There isn't a back up camera, the headlights are regular and no push button start. Love the heated seats and of course VW does an excellent job with heat. Good car for the money, I paid approximately $12k with 29k miles. VW's great red and sport rims make it an eye catcher.

My bug

I have totally been impressed with this vehicle. I was in a very difficult situation when I feel my mother from heaven brought this vehicle to me. I had it set in my head I would not like it and I wanted a Mini Cooper but my mommy from heaven said this is the vehicle and I am now blessed with an awesome vehicle. Last year with all the snow it got around amazingly. I?ve asked many people that own Mini Cooper about their performance in 2016/2017 weather with poor responses in their ability in the weather. I?m thankful for the purchase made and really enjoy this vehicle.

Terrific car!

The Beetle convertible exceeded our expectations in almost every category. The ride is refined and the car remains firmly planted to the road. It handles like a luxury sedan and yet, it maintains a sports car feel that instills confidence. The convertible is very quiet and operates effortlessly. The Bluetooth features and navigation options are awesome. So are the backup camera and stereo systems. Truly a great car. We are very pleased.

my bug

Needed a car for work, great on gas, and quite a few luxuries I enjoy, heated seats for example for these cold winter mornings
