2008 Volkswagen New Beetle consumer reviews

Purchased an 08 Beetle Convertible SE model June 08. Car has about 12,000 miles now. Great ride - comfortable seats, great seat heaters, satellite radio, ESP, and more. This car was purchased for my teenagers, but Dad likes to drive it also. Peppy 5 cylinder motor, but not too much to get teens into trouble. Took this car on a trip of about 800 miles (2 people). Ride was great and front seats are very comfortable. This car is a hoot with the top down and the wind blowing in your hair. Satellite radio is wonderful and the 8 speaker system sounds very good. Had one minor problem with the drivers window (goes down and back up just an inch or so, due to the convertible top, when you open and close the door), but was corrected promptly at the dealer under warranty. Good gas mileage, but this is not a lightweight economy car. It has some weight and stability to it, so low 20's gas mileage around town is the best you will do. Highway shows high 20's. Overall, very pleased with this vehicle.

Well the car is cool, not much of big problem. But there was a small problem after few month i bought, a minor cracking sound. It was solved instantly after sent to workshop.

Funny to most people, but this is my dream car. It is fun to drive, and it makes me smile every time I get in the drivers seat. My Beetle is everything I hoped it would be. This car handles well, is good on gas, especially on the highway and is very responsive. It is the best vehicle I have owned to date, and I have had at least 20 + cars in my driving history!

Great price, super gas mileage, roomy front and passenger seat as well as decent size trunk. My next new car in 20 years will be another with sun roof or convertible.

Good on gas and extra fitures only draw back is small area in back seat. I have owned a new Beetle since 1998 when they first came into the USA. This is my second one and I love it. With gas prices as they are it can realy save you on trips across the country and the front lage roon is realy good. Would recomend one to all....Ken...
