A great little rally car!

This car combines the best of the GTI with the looks of a rally car. Some Bugs are boring, but this one has the Dune trim package - turbo, fin on the back, 18-inch alloy wheels, sun roof, Apple Carplay, keyless entry and start, Fender premium sound package, heated seats, backup camera... Fun to drive, plenty of jump (my old car was a GTI - not quite that much jump, but more than enough to zip you through traffic) and a smooth ride.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

Since I was 14 years old I’ve wanted a VW Beetle. Now, Retired and Bored, I finally got one. On January 14, 2019 I met Angel, my 2017 VW Beetle. I chose the name Angel because it immediately makes me think of my guardian angels, my protectors. With its beautiful, winning smile (front and back) and dreamy features (lots of bells and whistles), it was “LOVE at first SMILE.” But when I took Angel for a drive, the Turbo-charged engine took my breath away. An energetic match - POWER and FUN! Moreover, Angel’s advanced safety features have really helped me avoid accidents. I promise you, the ride and handling is up there with the higher end cars. Although small, everything is super solid and smooth. LOVE my Angel(s)! THANK YOU, Dennis Lee, for all your help! MUCH THANKS, M Holmes

Great car. Turbo convertible. Plenty of GO.

Great car. Plenty of acceleration. Convertible was nice. Battery replacement was $200. Original tires were garbage. Put on a nice set of Michelin tires that made it drive a lot better.

Perfect Princess car

She may be little and cute, but she packs a punch. Yes you can park her anywhere, but that turbo charged engine will take you places in a hurry and still great on your pocket at the gas pump. Luxury feel without the luxury price tag.

The Beetle has been my dream car for 45 yrs

Love the styling! Driver’s seat is very comfortable. Love the backup camera and hands free phone operation. Bought it used with only 55 miles! Had never been titled. Full warranty.
