Great FOR ME.

MEETS MY NEEDS for now and the age of the car. Dealership was great to me. Nice room, easy to park and looks good. Comfortable when I have passengers and drives great. I wish they were more vw repair shops in town to choose from.

fun car, gettjng more used to it and enjoying very much. used to have a convertable mini. simauar feel, though i somewhat prefer havibg the tight deriving experince of the mini and the first pitstop on the convertable top to allow for moonroof sort of view. but i still highly recommend getting this car. youll love it.

VERY DISAPPOINTED

I've driven VW New Beetle's the for the past 20+ years. At the end of December 2018, I traded in my 2012 VW Beetle...BIG MISTAKE. I picked the VW right off the showroom floor. When I got into it to drive it home, the driver seat belt was broke. The belt was fixed and three days later the VW was delivered to my home. It sat in my garage for three days, until I drove it to work. THE FIRST DAY I drove it, went to get into the back driver side of the VW and the driver seat was broke. Took dealership three tries to get fixed. After that was fixed, all was well, until April when the passenger side window failed to roll back up. Sat at dealership for week. Brought home, it sat for three days, went to get back into it to go to work...rolled the passenger side window down and it wouldn't go back up!!!! Back to the dealership. I learned on that trip that VW requires dealerships to "fix" and then reinstall a broken part before they are allowed to be shipped a new part. Supposedly. So back the VW went to the dealership. I had no problems with the car until July, when the center console (radio, clock, navigation, etc) went totally dark. Dealership said they could not repeat problems. Two weeks ago, rolled down the windows and guess what? The passenger side window wouldn't go up!!!!!!! Back to the dealer. They had another fix. When I got the VW back from the dealer I drove straight to a KIA dealer and traded the VW in for a SOUL. So very disappointed.

Loads of fun

I have always wanted to own a VW Beetle and being that 2019 is the last year, I was excited to get the Final Edition. It's fun around town and on the open road. Plenty of room for a two person road trip.

Best handling car I own. Including BMW 1. Fun.

Comfortable. Easy to use. Good handling & great engine. Great radio. It is a very affordable car. Fit & finish is fantastic. Buy it. People that don't like it have never owned one. Always the wind bag, arm chair group that let other people decide what they do. Treat yourself.

Final Edition Beetle

Super looks, great performance. To date, I've exceeded EPA mileage performance. Quality build, deep black paint exterior and pepper beige and black leather interior scream luxury. Comfortable for two adults. Rides and drives well on country roads and interstates. Love it!

Cutest car I’ve ever owned

It’s sporty and cute all at the same time. This is a Final Edition series with a convertible top. Love it. Wanted something that doesn’t look like every other car

Defective from day one

First car- net is a joke. I have make more calls than I can count to get it to work only to find it only works with a wi if signal. What good is that , gave up and don’t use. My fordpass works ANYWHERE , starts the car and works flawless.. take note Vw . Second air conditioning has never worked, took into dealer, said sometimes they forget to put Freon in . Great quality control vw. Worked 2 weeks, brought in again , tried to fill it , Freon machine broke. Took in 3 time, filled it, not smart enough to check for leaks , stopped working again . Now bringing in 4 th time . If your crazy enough to like to waste a day at a repair shop, buy a vw. If not don’t get a vw , these cars are horribly unreliable. Hopefully I can lemon law mine a get rid of it

Beetles are great vehicles

I've always wanted a beetle, since my sister owned one in college. I am extremely happy and satisfied with my new beetle! I've also received positive comments and compliments from family members, friends and co-workers.

This is a fun car!

It is a fun car. It is stylish, with class. It is a quiet convertible and offers a comfortable ride. I have owned several VW's that never gave me any trouble
