Love it!!!

Wow! I was surprised... Great acceleration, incredible comfort for four adults and superb sound was what I needed to move me out of my Mini into a car that could comfortably accommodate my family. My day starts with a big smile getting into my car. Having driven many different convertibles I can say their are none at this price point that offer the level of performance and space found in the new Turbo Beetle. My entire family loves this car!

My first new car!

Mine's a convertable. A bit pricier than the regular new beetle but worth it. It's an incredably fun car to drive. I've got 27k miles on it so far & except for regular maintainence & a new set of tires it's been completly trouble-free. I love it.

I love my New Beetle!

I have owned my New Beetle for a year and a half and it has exceeded my expectations. It has the cute factor, but it handles seriously well. I have some issues with my back and seats are so comfortable; I never ache from a long drive. I will likely own this car until it no longer runs!! It is that much fun!

New '08 Beetle ROCKS!

This is my 4th Beetle; I alternate between Cadillacs and Beetles...love them both. Beetle has most of the Cadillac features but at VW prices. With VW being owned by Audi, you simply cannot go wrong. The fact that the body style doesn't change much from year to year helps them to retain their value. The sound system is great. The CVT transmission is amazing...AND you can drive it in "automatic" mode or in "manual" mode. It's a fast little car, yet great on gas. It's fun to drive, comfortable to ride in, and with the back seat folded down, has a considerable cargo area for a small car.
