Extremely Safe Vehicle

The 2016 VW Beetle has impressed me. I have a special edition 1.8 Turbo, and six months after purchasing it brand new, I was in a high speed wreck with a Dodge Ram. It was unfortunate, however, both myself and the vehicle survived mostly in tact. I owe carnet, and my beetle a huge thank you for saving my life. I will never drive anything else. In terms of reliability, I have had very few problems. I really enjoy using this vehicle as my daily driver, it?s great on gas! Even after being 50% rebuilt (in the rear end) she still runs strong! The interior was brilliantly designed, and I absolutely love the infotainment system. Great job VW!

Very Fast and Very Fun

This car is the perfect car for any teen. There is nothing quite like blasting your favorite music on the high quality speakers with the windows down as you zip through cars on the highway. It?s super fast and super fun.

Best Value Car I've Owned

This little Beetle with the Turbo 4-cylinder and SEL trim is a near-perfect execution of value and performance. Peppy and fun to drive, but a Gas miser, too!

Showroom new

A beautiful fun car to drive. Very peppy with the turbo and yet good gas milage. With the split back seats folded down there is an amazing amount of cargo room. The car has always been garaged. Wife wants to sell as she is not using it much.

Best car I have ever owned!

I've always wanted a vw beetle/bug. This one far outweighs my expectations. It's real zippy, and a smooth ride.

Best looking convertible on the market

This car is better than expectation. It handles like a dream. We especially like the way the convertible top goes up and down with the push of a button. No longer have to do anything like roll down the windows, etc. It is all one smooth motion. The car looks fantastic and is easy to wipe clean. The seats are extremely comfortable. And the car rides like a large expensive car. It has a fantastic response with the turbo thrust engine. Love the car.
