A Car With Personality and a Great Value

It's not boring to look at and it's fun to drive. Used ones can be found at very reasonable prices. Bought this for my daughters drive and to learn to use manual transmission. They love it.

Rides very smooth.

This car has surprisingly more power than expected. Handles very good, clean interior, comes with heated sets. Has minor surface scratches but body is straight. Front bra included, great for High Schooler or College student.

Great on gas!

This car gets great gas mileage! 35-40 mpg. Drove 430 miles on a full tank of gas! It?s fun to drive and has a back seat!

Cutest, funnest car I?ve ever had

I love the beetle. It?s my dream car and it?s comfortable and it gets great gas mileage. I drive my parents everywhere in my little beetle. It?s so great that my dad wants another one for himself.

Worthy for the price

This car met all of my needs. It has plenty of legroom in the front and back, the ride is great compared to other cars I tested. It has 3 USB ports

Solid ride handles very well.

I have owned many different Volkswagens over the years this Beetle has been one of the best vehicles I have owned. It handles all road conditions very well both wet and dry conditions and the car feels very solid when you drive it on the road. Also the performance and handling is top-notch it's also great on the freeway.
