fun to drive

Great Car, fun to drive. This is a third car for us the unit is a convertible beetle. We only had it for a few months and we are very happy with the performance of the bug.

2nd Beetle in 50 Years without an ounce of regret.

My first car, 50 years ago, was a 1967 VW Beetle with a pop top. It was a FANTASTIC car. Wish I still had it. But now I've got "Kadie F", a 2017 Beetle cabriolet. Again, it's a fantastic car. Two Score and Ten, and I did it again. Only problem: My wife always wants to borrow it! Her Audi Q5 is great, but it ain't my "Kadie".

Test drive

The beetle was a great car on gas but the trunk space is limited and with a Convertible top you have no trunk space at all ): not a family car and we only have 1 kid left to tote around

Grest buy on beautiful little car.

Charming styling, great handling and driving feel. Very comfortable for taller drivers.Good acceleration and gas mileage. What's not to like?Plus which it's a convertible.

Love it!

I wanted a car that was fun, affordable, and well-built. I have the convertible version of this car so it's lacking a bit in storage and backseat space but I bought this after owning a crossover SUV where I had the storage but didn't use it much. The interior is built to match the exterior so it looks great when the top is down. The car rides very smooth and has amazing pickup from the turbo engine. The top goes up and down quickly enough that I can take car of it while at a stoplight if I see rain up ahead. Love the technology as well (the apple car connect in particular with synced phone navigation). If I had to change anything, it would be the cup holder located under the arm rest but that is minor and hasn't been an issue.

Love it!!!

Wow! I am really impressed by my 2017 VW Beetle. It's roomier than I would have imagined, drives well, brakes well, steers well, turns well and to top it off...it's a nice looking car! I can't say enough about it. I've had it exactly 7 days and its been a pleasure to drive. If you're thinking about the VW Beetle, at least give it a test drive.
